I turned my head and stared straight at the cocoon.
The gray-white skin was like the smooth skin of a giant maggot.
It was disgusting to see.
Suddenly, the "worm belly" suddenly beat, just like the natural heartbeat response of human beings, one after another.
I swallowed and turned to look at Gu Xinlie who was holding up the knife.
Gu Xinlie's expression was solemn, showing no emotion or anger.
The snow-white bone knife in his hand penetrated the cocoon instantly like a dragon.
Then he pulled it out cleanly and brought out a green liquid.
"Kill it."
Chi You Sanqian looked at Gu Xinlie blankly, and then stared at the huge cocoon that was still trembling slightly in shock.
Gu Xinlie shook his head, shook off the green liquid on the knife, frowned and said, "I don't know."
"Let's go to the tomb first.
Jiang Qian set fire to these cocoons to save us a long night and many dreams."
I greeted quickly, took out a lighter for cigarettes from my pocket and handed it to Wang Jiangqian, and then pushed Gu Xin Lie, tell him to go down first and then talk.
I have an inexplicable fear of the cocoon.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or just my random imagination.
I always feel that the cocoon is not as simple as we think.
The Night Talk of One Hundred Ghosts once recorded the three major witchcraft in western Yunnan: head-dropping, poison poisoning, and evil spirits.
This western Yunnan is Yunnan.
Because it is very close to Thailand and Laos, many people practice the witchcraft of lowering one's head, which harms others but does not benefit oneself, and hurts one thousand and oneself.
As a habitat of the Miao people, Yunnan has been famous for poisonous poisons from ancient times to the present.
What Ma Liuzhi once said, "It is better to provoke white ghosts than to make Miao women cry" is naturally not an exaggeration.
Besides, I also have a poison in my body, so I naturally stay away from this kind of witchcraft.
But compared with the first two witchcrafts that are well-known to the world, the witchcraft seems ancient and mysterious.
Some official history books only briefly mention the records of the "Ancient Dian Kingdom" and the mysterious and ancient "Yu Shu" without any detailed descriptions.
Even if there are, they are just a few words, but in the Night Talk of Hundred Ghosts In this book, there was mention of the use of "狗 Technique" to make women conceive worm eggs.
This kind of "狋 Technique" is also called "pregnancy 狗" or "狋璋".
When a woman is about to give birth in the tenth month of her pregnancy, she is tortured to death.
In this way, the fear and resentment she feels when she is dying pass through her body. , it is poisonous only when it is transmitted into the insect eggs in her belly when she died.
This is also the most powerful witchcraft among the "witchcraft".
The specific process is rather cumbersome.
First, the worms and the slave women are allowed to plant "worms" in the vagina.
This process lasts until the women become pregnant.
Then, when they are about to give birth and produce eggs, the slave girls' limbs are broken first.
He hugged his waist, highlighting his towering abdomen, and then immediately poured a medicinal material similar to burned hot rosin, or boiling tree bark, in short, something like that, on the slave girl alive, along with The eggs in her abdomen were combined into transparent "living amber".
After cooling, the shell membrane of the slave girl's belly is then engraved with "ancient Yunnan script".
This is equivalent to sealing a series of negative emotions such as fear, despair, resentment, curse and so on when the slave girl died in this "living person".
Amber".
As for why this weird posture of holding the waist behind the back and breaking the limbs of the female slave is involved, this involves the beliefs of the ancient Dian Kingdom.
The ancient Dian Kingdom believed in the evil god Dise Po, who was an extremely terrifying giant monster.
The image of this monster was also called the "Camel Girl".
That is, a monster that lies on its back and can hug its own waist with its limbs folded.
The "evil egg" that had just been produced by the female slave had a strong vitality and would not be easily scalded to death by the boiling potion.
The female slave also protected it from a lot of damage.
Then, copper juice must be poured into the slave girl's mouth to prevent her from closing her mouth.

In this way, even if she is sunk into a deep pool or buried deep underground, the "evil eggs" can feed and nourish themselves through the slave girl's mouth to ensure their survival. .
"The eggs" do not have any consciousness and are just like ordinary insects.
They just survive for the sake of survival.
They just act based on conscious reflexes.
All behaviors such as eating, reproduction, etc. are also completed in the female slave's body.
This can not only survive the fragile infancy period, but also continuously deepen the female slave's resentment.
The excrement discharged from the body by the "egg" is a special substance, which is similar to the soft sac on the back of a toad.
It looks ordinary on the surface, but as long as it comes into contact with human skin or animals, it The skin will erupt with violent toxins, killing the opponent instantly.
As for the art of evil, the Night Talk of Hundred Ghosts only talks about it so much.
After I recalled it carefully, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart.
I thought that I couldn't stay in this place for long.
Even if I retreated to the ear room at this time, I could just save my life.
Who knows if this is the evil egg and when it will hatch.
It's better to retreat than to advance, go directly to the tomb, and make other plans for what happens when the time comes.
I reminded them to put on their gas masks, then threw a rope and asked Gu Xinlie to grab it and slide down.
I couldn't trust Chi You Sanqian and his group about this.
After all, this bandit was more than ten meters tall.
If he wasn't careful, , then if you fall, you will become a r-chan.
Gu Xinlie was followed by Ah Da Ah Er, then Wang Jiang Qian Meng Gu and Chi You Sanqian.
After they all went down, I tied the rope to a gap in the D wall, and then went down against the stone wall.
It was extremely dark in the Hades Palace, with visibility less than one meter.
The group of people also took out their wolf-eye flashlights, and the entire Hades Palace became a lot brighter for a while.
The Hades Palace is smaller than I imagined, much smaller.
It was probably less than 300 square meters, so it was extremely empty.
The surrounding walls, like those in the transept, are all carved with extremely rare but exquisite reliefs.
There are a row of twelve terracotta warriors and horses on both sides of the tomb.
This kind of figurines are also called tomb figurines.
The most famous one is Qin Shihuang's Xi'an Terracotta Warriors.
In fact, before Qin Shihuang, some people also used this kind of tomb figurines to guard tombs.
The implication is that they can dominate the underworld and become a generation of ghost kings.
But what I find incredible is that King Yan was just a small vassal king, and he was still qualified to place tomb figurines.
Could it be that the emperor at that time was really so stupid?
In the middle of the Hades Hall are two coffins and bronze coffins.
"There are two coffins, one of them should be the coffin of King Yan, and the other coffin should be that of Princess Yan."
Gu Xinlie hugged his arms and murmured through the dim light of the flashlight.
As soon as I heard the words "Princess Yan", my heart suddenly felt cramped.
The pain was so sudden that I shed tears.
"Master Lin, are you okay?"
Wang Jianggan asked me quickly when he saw that I didn't look well.
"I'm fine, maybe the poison in my body is acting up again."
I waved my hand.
Although I said it was easy on the surface, my nails almost dug into my flesh.
Chiyou Sanqian chuckled lightly, and then said: "The medicinal material Mr.
Lin wants should be in the tomb of King Yan.
After you go out this time, Sanqian will start to remove the poison for you."

"Now that's it.
Miss Sanqian should tell me what that medicinal ingredient is, otherwise I'm really anxious."
I scratched my head and said a little embarrassed, but I kept watching from the corner of my eyes.
With the expressions of Chi You Sanqian and Meng Gu.
"Crimson grass."
Gu Xinlie bent down, touched the soil on the ground, and then murmured: "Well, no one has touched the tomb of King Yan yet.
It seems that we are lucky."
I automatically ignored the second half of Gu Xinlie's sentence, but I was still shocked by the three words Zhuyancao in front of it.
Crimson grass is an extremely rare treasure that only grows in the Western Regions.
According to legend, it takes two hundred years for this grass to mature and can be preserved for thousands of years.
Specially used by royal families, the juice brewed from this grass can detoxify and even rejuvenate.
But these are all unofficial legends.
I have only heard of them but never seen them with my own eyes.
"Wait a minute, you guys, please stop causing trouble.
Although we coffin handlers are doing shady things, we must abide by the rules.
You understand."
Wang Jiangqian put down the package behind his back, pulled out his engineer shovel and held it in his hand.
In his hand, he said something without looking back.
"That's natural.
Just do your job well, Mr.
Wang.
Sanqian came down this time just to see what the Zhu Yancao looks like."
Chiyou Sanqian stopped Meng Gu who was about to speak and smiled.
Full of meaning.
Gu Xinlie gave me a wink, and the three of them cautiously came to the coffin.
Qingtong coffin, this is not a good sign.
I am not like Gu Xinlie, Wang Jiang, and the two of them.
This is my first time touching the coffin.
If something goes wrong, my intestines will turn green.
Before touching the coffin, burn three sticks of incense facing south and north.
This is a rule passed down from ancient times and must not be disobeyed.
As the saying goes, there is a blue dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right, with a red bird on the top and a black dragon on the bottom.
The southeast, northwest, and northwest also represent the four great spiritual beasts, namely wood, water, gold, and fire.
We usually talk about buying things and selling things, why don’t we talk about buying north and south and selling north and south.
In fact, this is the truth.
The green dragon belongs to wood and is located in the east.
The white tiger belongs to metal and is located in the west.
Gold and wood are things that can be touched, seen, and put into baskets, so they are called things.
And why people who touch coffins only respect the north and south but not the east and west?
This actually means that people who touch coffins are afraid of ghosts.
Ghosts are invisible and colorless, so they avoid them when they see them.
This invisible and colorless thing is naturally subject to the control of water and fire in the north and south, and it is natural to burn incense for blessing.
Just when Wang Jiangqian was about to light incense, suddenly, a cluster of blue fire suddenly lit up in the corner, scaring Wang Jiangqian to scream strangely.
Gu Xinlie and I followed the sound and saw a cluster of blue flames burning slowly and precariously in the corner of the tomb.
"What the hell" I swallowed and looked at Gu Xinlie.

I saw him shaking his head and motioning for me not to move while he went over to see clearly.
I subconsciously wanted to look back at Chi You Sanqian and the others, but suddenly I found that they were no longer behind us.
When I turned my head again, I saw Meng Gu holding up a tomb figurine with A Da with great effort.
It seemed that he wanted to After moving out, he didn't even take two steps when he heard Gu Xinlie yell angrily.
"Don't Move" Fenghuaju first update:
