Daoist, stay safe

Liu Yu was also unwilling to put her hot face on her cold butt, thinking: "Zhang Xiyan, there will be times when you beg me." She knew from the few sick patients in Zhang Xiyan's family that Zhang Xiyan needed a lot of medicine. Let's see how stubborn she is when she saves people with medicine.

Thinking of Zhang Xiyan being followed, she felt a little uneasy, but what could she do?So what if she is worried, does Zhang Xiyan appreciate it, can she find Zhang Xiyan?Liu Yu couldn't get angry, so she simply blocked Zhang Xiyan as well.Zhang Xiyan pulls black people at every turn, pretending she can't?

It's New Year's Eve, Liu Yu arranges the affairs of Huaji Village and the company, goes home to spend the New Year with her parents, and waits for Zhang Xiyan to come all the way to beg her.

She easily let Zhang Xiyan go, but she didn't believe Liu.

According to the traces left by Cheng Hu and the others, Zhang Xiyan found the entrance of the cave they had entered without any trouble.

The cave is located halfway up the mountain, and the entrance of the cave is overgrown with weeds.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can just see the opposite village and terraced fields.

In the evening, people working in the fields pack up their farm tools and go home, and the smoke from the chimneys of the houses is very lively.The mountain where Zhang Xiyan was located seemed particularly secluded. Although there was only a shallow stream between the two adjacent mountains, they were like two different worlds.There are terraced farmhouses over there, but there are deep mountains and old forests that are inaccessible here. The litter and fallen leaves piled up on the ground show that the people on the opposite side don't even come here to collect firewood.

Along the way, she didn't see anyone else except Cheng Hu and his group's footprints.

She speculated that there might be some bad rumors circulating in the opposite village that made them afraid to come to this mountain, and those rumors happened to be the treasure hunting clues for Cheng Hu and his group, which led them to find it here.

Zhang Xiyan took the sword off his back and held it in his hand, and took out the flashlight from his backpack to illuminate it, and went straight into the cave.

After being infected by the Flower God Gu, her eyesight improved, and she could see at night, but her fear of the dark still persisted, and a little flashlight could drive away a lot of fear.

This season, the snakes and insects are still hibernating, and the cave is very quiet.

Not long after she walked in, she saw a large number of human bones scattered on the ground.Judging from the traces of their sinking in the soil and the changes in bone quality, the age is not ordinary.

Suddenly, the flashlight saw a human skull half exposed on the ground. There were five particularly conspicuous holes on the top of the skull, which seemed to be scratched out by hand.

She hesitated for two seconds, then stretched out her right hand to measure with the five holes, and the five fingers smoothly poked into the holes in the skull, the size and position were just right.It was clearly not poked by a man's or a child's hand.

The human skull is so strong, what kind of strength can do this?Mei Chaofeng's Nine Yin White Bone Claws?Zhang Xiyan felt a little unbelievable.

She carefully inspected the bones scattered around again, some of the bones were incomplete, and some of the bones were broken, as if they had been hit by a great force and died.

It is very likely that a very tragic war took place in this place.But in ancient times, what kind of battle could break a person's bones like this?

She walked in with confusion, and the flashlight shone around, constantly checking the surrounding situation.

The cave is dark and damp, and there are traces of water scour everywhere. In many places, there are still accumulated water and water marks left by flooding, like drainage holes formed by rainwater.

Some parts of the cave are very narrow, only more than one meter wide, and there are a lot of bones piled up in them.Such a place does not have the conditions to build a large mausoleum-the materials cannot be brought in.It was more like a war. One side was defeated and retreated into the cave, and the other side chased it in. The people inside used the terrain as a defensive counterattack, and the two sides fought desperately here.

She went further in, and the bones became less and less, and there were traces of ancient human fire, as well as the marks left on the rocks by the group of people who entered the cave before.

After walking for a while, she raised her hand to look at the time on the watch, only to find that the pointer kept vibrating in place and the compass kept shaking.

Zhang Xiyan took out the compass from the sleeve pocket of the Taoist robe, and the pointer pointed straight ahead.

She followed the guidance of the compass, and after walking for a while, she encountered a fork hole: a channel that was washed down by water, and a channel that went up, with fresh air pouring in.The mark left by Cheng Hu and the others indicated going up.

Not long after she followed the marker, she saw more vegetation such as moss, which seemed to be illuminated, but everything seemed normal, not like an ancient tomb.

She walked for a while, and a crack in the mountain appeared in front of her.The crevice is open-air, and you can see a little sky. The texture of the mountain walls on both sides shows that the crevice is most likely formed by an earthquake.

From the perspective of Feng Shui, it is not suitable for building a mausoleum here.

She followed the compass guidance and the markers left along the way and continued on.

The cracks in the mountain became wider and wider, and then an altar for sacrifices made of stones appeared.

The altar made of stones was only half a person high, and dozens of human heads were stacked neatly on the ground near the altar, and in front of the heads, there were dozens of kneeling skeletons with no heads.

There is a naturally formed cave in the direction facing the altar.The cave is tens of meters high, majestic and majestic, and gradually becomes lower as you go inside.

She walked along the cave for a while, and the cave was getting shorter and shorter, and the compass pointer was shaking and turning around from time to time.

After a while, artificial steps appeared. She walked down the steps for a while, and suddenly saw a door with a simple shape.

The square door is made of stone, and a hole was opened in the door that was originally sealed with strips of stone. From the scene, it looks like it was blasted open.

There was a mess outside the door, with messy footprints, dropped food packaging bags, cigarette butts, human feces, collapsed rocks, left shovels, flashlights, etc. scattered around.

This is why Zhang Xiyan hates Cheng Hu and the others in their profession, they are full of destructive power.

Zhang Xiyan walked to the door and shone inside with a flashlight.

The separation of a door is like the difference between the world and hell.

There was a skeleton curled up less than ten meters away from the door. The white bone was riddled with holes as if it had been eaten by moths, and there was still a lot of insect fluid remaining on the surface.The position in which he died, the color of his bones and the fragments of clothing beside him suggest that his death was brief and excruciatingly painful.

Zhang Xiyan guessed that this person should be Cheng Hu's companion.

She moved the flashlight away from the body and shone it around.

The ceiling and walls of the cave are covered with white fluff-like things, and there are all kinds of insects crawling and wriggling in the white flocs. I don't know how many insects are hidden under the white flocs.

The color of the ground was also very different from the outside of the door, it was dark brown and exuded a strong stench.The smell is extremely heterogeneous, the most common one is the smell of Gu insect feces, if such thick feces can be accumulated, the number and age of Gu insects will not be small.

Cheng Hu and his gang are very courageous, they dare to come to such a place.

If it wasn't for looking for medicine, Zhang Xiyan would definitely turn around and leave.But if she was looking for medicine, it was right to come to this kind of place.

She stepped over the threshold and got into the cave, and saw a stone tablet on the ground, engraved with ancient hieroglyphs, namely "people", "gate", "hell", which roughly means that entering this gate means entering hell , warning function.

She walked around the monument, and the bugs she encountered along the way avoided her.

She walked through the passage covered with white catkins, and there was another stone door that was blasted open in front of her. Not only were there scattered gravel, but there were also two rotten corpses of Gu corpses.Their bones were black, and there was a layer of rotten flesh on the surface, giving off a stench.The stench of Gu corpses mixed with the stench of years of rotting, stimulated Zhang Xiyan's nose, which was much sharper than ordinary people, and made her almost nauseous.She took out her mask and put it on to block out the stench.

She stepped through the violently broken stone door and entered inside, and she saw a spacious cave.

Roughly crafted coffins were neatly placed in the cave, the openings near the door were all opened, the bones were dragged out, and the burial decorations were scattered on the ground.The bone ornaments from thousands of years ago were beautifully polished, but they seemed to have no economic value, and were randomly torn off and discarded on the ground.

Probably the group who came in before did it. They opened a few coffins and found nothing good, so they went straight to the altar in front of them.

On the altar stood a sarcophagus tightly entwined with vines.On the stone platform in front of the sarcophagus, there are sacrificial bronze vessels, which have been corroded and dilapidated for too long.

Zhang Xiyan's flashlight swept across the altar.

She suddenly felt something strange, and when she moved the flashlight back, she suddenly found three translucent phantoms in front of the altar, and three people were stealing the altar.

She had just seen two of them in the office before entering the mountain. The tall one was the man with a broken arm who had been infected by Zombie Gu and sought her treatment, and the other was the one who followed her from the entrance of the office to the foot of the mountain. One person, the other person, she guessed it was the one who died at the door, because he was not among the few people who went to the office together, and the smell on their bodies showed that they went directly to the office after leaving the mountain.

There are several brocade boxes inlaid with precious stones on the altar, which look gorgeous and extremely valuable.

They failed to open the brocade box after various attempts, so they packed them into the backpack they carried with them.

Zhang Xiyan knew that this image would not appear for no reason, so she shone the flashlight to the side of the altar, and saw two stone pillars carved with relief standing beside it.The stone pillars were dark brown, as if they had been soaked in blood, with blood groove-like lines carved on them, and rusted bronze chains were wrapped around the pillars.There is also a figurine figurine glaring at the bronze chain. The figurine figurine's skin is dark green, as if a layer of wax has been applied to the surface, making it greasy.Its face is lifelike, even the tendons and blood vessels are clearly visible.

Living Gu figurines, used for raising Gu.

The fat on its body surface is still fresh, which means that the Gu figurine is still alive, and its posture and expression all show that it is specially set up to protect the altar.

She moved the flashlight to the opposite side of the living human Gu figurine, and sure enough, she saw a living human Gu barrel standing on both sides of the altar, guarding the altar and the only way to the coffin.

The foreheads of the two Gu figurines shimmered, reproducing the scene of the gang stealing the altar like a projector.

Zhang Xiyan: "..." Didn't these three people notice the strangeness of the Gu figurines next to them when they picked up the things on the altar?They've been tricked.

She ignored the image projected by the Gu figurines in front of her, and was about to go in, when she saw a half-burnt Gu repelling incense falling on the ground.There was also a footprint on the incense, as if it fell on the ground and was trampled out. I don't know if the exorcism incense fell on the ground in a panic, and they didn't notice or didn't care to step on it.

Next to the Gu repelling incense, there is a backpack and a broken arm that fell on the ground. There are several deep bone wounds on the broken arm. The wounds fester badly. There are white hairs and dead zombie Gu larvae. Apparently it was the arm of the person she had helped undo the Zombie Gu before.As for the backpack, it was not the same as the brocade box, she wasn't sure if Cheng Hu and the others had taken the brocade box away.

Not far in front of her is a burial pit, inside which are piled up a large number of human skeletons and many newly hatched Gu worms, and there are fresh traces of being burned, as if the group before set fire to the burial pit .

There are many standing bones on the surrounding cave walls.Some had rotted to the bone, and some were still covered with scales. Their faces were hideous and terrifying. They were zombie Gu people, and they were zombie Gu people who had become bronze armored corpses for a long time.The most terrible thing is that the number of them is small, and they look uneven as if they have been chewed by dogs. Obviously, many bronze armored corpses did not die, but were awakened and left their previous positions. I don't know where it is hidden.

Zhang Xiyan was a little scared, thinking: "With the Flower God Gu, the Zombie Gu wouldn't dare to come out, right?"

She wrapped the flashlight around her left hand, ready to draw her sword and fight at any time.

The thing she needs to get into the mountain this time is called dried blood, only with dried blood can the bleeding thread Gu grow.The dried blood is a companion to the vine that wraps the coffin, right at its root.Looking at the shape of the vines, she suspected that the coffin was overhead. The vines took root under the coffin, and the vines climbed and grew along the coffin, gradually wrapping and protecting it.

She wanted to take dried blood, so she had to dig up the roots of the vines beside the coffin.The coffin is at the innermost part of the cave, and the altar is the only way to get to the cave. She can only pass between the two guardian Gu figurines.The voodoo figurines will mess people's minds, and the people who are infected by the voodoo will become puppets driven by it. Even if they can leave the ancient tomb alive, because the brain is affected and controlled, something will happen sooner or later.

If she wanted to go there, she had to destroy these two voodoo figurines first, but she didn't want to cause damage, she wanted to keep the mausoleum as it was to the greatest extent.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to release the Flower God Gu and destroy the Gu inside the two Gu figurines.She doesn't destroy their shape, and it won't affect future archaeology. As for things like Gu, it's better to eliminate them first, so as not to keep them to harm people.

The Flower God Gu was driven by Zhang Xiyan to fly towards the Gu figurine, but they did not attack the Gu figurine, as if they were inspired by something, they suddenly flew towards the sarcophagus above the altar.

At the same time, a middle-aged man's voice sounded in Zhang Xiyan's mind, as if the person lying in the coffin was still alive and was calling her, but what he called was not her name, but "Cong Chong", as if he had admitted the wrong person up.

There are weirdos in the coffin, and they are already eyeing her.Zhang Xiyan felt something was wrong, she drew her sword out of its sheath, turned around and ran outside, but the exit was missing.

A strange feeling came from behind her, she looked back subconsciously, and suddenly saw a burly and strong middle-aged man appearing on the coffin tightly wrapped by vines covered with blood thread Gu.The clothes on that person were similar to those of the high priest of Huaji Village, but the high priest's was a chicken feather outfit, while this one was much more gorgeous, and the flower god Gu she released was flying around that one.He is not real, but translucent, like the coffin turned into a large projector, projecting him.The vines wrapped around the coffin quickly withered, and the blood nematodes turned into dry shells and fell down as if they were being drained quickly.

Zhang Xiyan's face turned green.She didn't expect this to be the priest's tomb of the Huaji tribe in the past!

Zhang Xiyan suddenly understood that this should be because the Huaji tribe was defeated and was hunted down on the way to flee southward, and this priest died in battle in the cave she passed by before, and was buried here nearby.From his clothes, it can be seen that this priest is not at the same level as the high priest in Huaji Village. At least when he died, the great witch was still there and the inheritance was not lost. This person has real talents and real learning.

Although this is a mausoleum hastily converted from a cave on the way to escape, the priests of a tribe have a high status, and the burials and mausoleum guardians must be extraordinary.That is to say, the layout and methods here are not something she, a little shrimp who has a little bit of inheritance from the Huaji tribe, can handle.

She didn't expect that the release of the Flower God Gu would cause such an accident and lure the priest out. If she had known earlier, she would not have released the Flower God Gu with the blue talisman.

She took out the yellow talisman and threw it around like money, lighting up the cave brightly.

The smoke from the burning talisman seemed to dispel the illusion, and the scene in the cave suddenly became very different from what she had seen before.

There are coffins and scattered bones on the ground, but countless vines hang down from the top of the cave, and corpses are hung on each vine. The colors of these corpses are black, white, red, and green. The hairy ones and those with long green scales, without exception, have the mouthparts of Zombie Gu in their mouths, each sharper than the other.The missing Zombie Gu were all hanging on the vines above their heads. They seemed to be asleep, but they were being woken up by the burning of the talisman smoke, and they made low roaring Gu sounds one after another.

Zhang Xiyan: "..." She wanted to take back the burning yellow talisman, but it was too late.

She gritted her teeth, and punched two yellow talismans at the two Gu figurines next to the altar, and ran towards the coffin as fast as she could with her sword in hand.

She passed through the translucent shadow above the coffin, landed on the inside of the coffin, squatted down and looked under the coffin, and the coffin was indeed erected.The coffin was erected by two one-meter-high stone piers, and the coffin-protecting vine grew in the gap below.The coffin-protecting vines had grown for an unknown number of years, filling up the gaps under the coffin, and the dense blood thread Gu was wrapped into a ball of thread, which made her scalp numb.

Both the vines and the blood thread Gu were drying up rapidly, as if they were being sucked away by some unknown force.

Zhang Xiyan suspected that the high priest in the coffin was playing tricks, she didn't dare to delay, and used her sword as a shovel to quickly dig out the roots of the vines, intending to dig out the blood and leave quickly.

The transparent phantom was scattered by Zhang Xiyan, and then quickly condensed into a shape, looking down at her with a smile: "Child, what are you digging? Look up at me."

Zhang Xiyan raised his hand to ignite a yellow talisman and then hit the shadow, without even raising his head, let alone actually looking at him.She was afraid that she would see something wrong at a glance.

The vines grow so densely that it is difficult to dig.

She didn't know if something would happen if she dug for a long time, she broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, she really felt that she wanted money rather than her life. She probably wasn't as crazy as Liu Yu's bastard.

She probed towards the cave's exit, but she did not see the exit, only the cave wall blocked by the bronze armored Gu corpse.

She made up her mind to use the blue talisman to fight out later.She tried to call back the Flower God Gu, but couldn't, the Flower God Gu didn't listen to her at all.

Suddenly, her heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and she was dizzy for a while.

Zhang Xiyan suddenly felt that something was wrong: her heartbeat was maintained by the Flower God Gu, once the Flower God Gu was controlled, her life was hanging in the opponent's hands.

As soon as this idea came up, her heart skipped a beat, Zhang Xiyan staggered and fell to the ground on her back, and the sword in her hand fell off.

The high priest smiled at her: "Son, it's good to be back. Come, come to Abba." He stretched out his hand towards her.

In a trance, she saw the sarcophagus opened, and a skinny hand stretched out from the coffin, as if beckoning to her, wanting her to enter the coffin.Her heart refused, and she said: "Illusion." She thought again, was the vine withering rapidly just now, was it for opening the coffin?

Her eyes turned black, her body fell back limply, when she closed her eyelids, she saw a flower god Gu flying towards her, and then she didn't know anything.
