The person who screamed was the young tiger. His sister Chungu gave a random order at the time, telling him to go to Li Sheng. As a result, the child turned his head and got lost as soon as he ran away. A secret door, just in time to catch up with the mummy's big eyes and small eyes.
"Excuse me, let me go." Ying Hecong stepped forward and squatted down to examine the mummified corpse carefully. The snake in his sleeve slowly showed a small head curiously, and glanced out. What kind of natural enemy, the little snake froze suddenly, and the crap retracted the sleeve of the poisonous man.
A layer of dust fell on the corpse, but the surface of the skin did not rot. A thin layer of skin adhered to the skeleton, clearly outlining the shape of the joints and bones.
"Man, he has practiced kung fu like Baguazhang, and he looks quite young." Ying Hecong looked over the vital parts of the body, but he couldn't find any obvious wounds, so he was a little puzzled.
Li Sheng said, "Look to see if his hands and feet are broken."
"You mean..." Ying Hecong immediately realized something, opened his eyes slightly, and hurriedly opened the mummified corpse's hand. He saw a three-inch long gap on the back of the mummified corpse's hand. On the hand bone, it looks like a face pocket that was bitten by a mouse. Ying Hejian turned the mummy over again, and saw another similar cut on the back of his neck, "Nirvana Gu."
"Well, it is said that after Yin Pei released Nirvana Gu, he used that poison to kill Daoist Chongyun who came after hearing the news." Li Sheng said softly, he knelt down halfway with one arm, turned over the face of the mummified corpse, and carefully identified it. Looking at the man's deformed facial features, he didn't see the reason for a long time, he finally gave up, slowly shook his head and said, "The deformation is too great, I don't even know if this person is Daoist Chongyun."
Ying Hecong sneered and said, "I am in the vast land of Kyushu, and it is really rich in wolves of Zhongshan."
Li Sheng knew that he was mean, so he didn't discuss it with him. He just waved his hands and said, "No matter who it is, since we have met, let him go to the ground for safety."
Under the command of Li Sheng, everyone carefully avoided the various formations in the Qimen's restricted area, dug a hole in a place, and buried the mummy.
Zhou Fei was inconvenient to move, so she rushed to the side, and it was no fun to watch others dig holes. She carried a cane in one hand, and held a torch herself, and walked into the secret door where the mummified corpse fell. Walking through a long and narrow path, she found that it was incredibly deep, with seven stone gates. The wall mechanism had been destroyed, but the exposed part had already dazzled her.
If it wasn't for Yin Pei who had barged in, it would not have been easy to get in here. Zhou Fei couldn't help but slow down and became slightly alert.
Behind the seven stone gates, there is a dark cave, she raised the torch high, and at the same time, her eyes narrowed in discomfort.
I don't know if it was Zhou Fei's illusion. As soon as he entered the cave, a strong and cold aura rushed towards his face. The square stone room was very strange. The walls and the top were all covered with dense small characters. , I don't know what ghostly drawn talismans are, Zhou Fei didn't recognize any of them, she just felt that those characters were like reptiles living in the stone, staring coldly at the outsiders who dared to break in.
At the entrance of the stone room, there are five stone statues that are as tall as one person. The head is on top of the human face, but below the neck is connected to the five poisonous bodies. The tails of snakes and scorpions are lifelike. .
Zhou Fei looked at each other with those stone statues, and for a moment did not dare to go inside.
"This is the 'Voodoo Five Sages'." Ying He walked behind her at some point and said, "The evil god outside the gate, worshipped by the border people who believe in witchcraft, so as not to be harmed by poisonous insects... But later was 'Nirvana sect' Those bastards borrowed it to play tricks."
Zhou Fei was taken aback by his sudden voice.
Ying He Cong took the torch from her hand and walked into the stone room. It didn't matter if he stepped on both legs, the little snake on his body went crazy, so scared that he turned his back on the spot and jumped out from his neck like lightning. , "Pa Da" fell to the ground, twisted himself out of eighteen bends, and rushed towards the hole with his life.
As soon as Zhou Fei raised her hand and held the poisonous snake seven inches with her crutch, she picked it up and held it in her hand. The thin snake was frantically waving its tail in her hand. If it were a person, it would probably have been screaming "help".
"I think you should come out first," Zhou Fei said with a frown. "You snake is not even afraid of fire and realgar, but now you are scared like a bear. There is nothing strange in this stone room."
"Oh, it doesn't matter," Ying Hecong said nonchalantly as he circled several stone statues of the Heretic God, "This place should be the secret room where the Nirvana Gu mother was stored. When the female worm was alive, there was mucus left on her body. It's too poisonous, so many years after I left, ordinary insects, ants, snakes and scorpions would not dare to approach, but the inside of this stone room is cleaner than the outside."
Zhou Fei felt her hands sink, and found that the "bear-like" snake had its tail hanging down and didn't move. For a while, she couldn't tell whether it was dead or faint. She also said that her hands were too strong. , quickly loosened his fingers and said, "Hey, you snake..."
Before she could finish speaking, the little snake "slipped" out of her hands and ran away without looking back—this little beast pretended to be dead quite realistically!
"It doesn't matter, it will come to me on its own in a while." Ying Hecong rolled up his sleeves, put his feet on the inscription on the stone wall, and muttered, "This seems to be... 'ancient voodoo inscriptions'."
Zhou Fei: "What?"
"Nirvana Gu first appeared in a 'voodoo' ancient tomb outside the customs before the smoky Nirvana sect. It is said that the tomb was also engraved with this kind of text, and the walls were painted with rooster blood and strange totems. , but the age is too long, and their clan must have died, and no one can recognize these reptile-like characters, so Lu Guoshi simply called them 'ancient voodoo inscriptions'." Ying Hecong reached out and wiped a wall He sniffed the blood on the tip of his nose, "It's really blood."
"No one knows," Zhou Fei pointed to the wall, "Then these were carved by ghosts?"
Ying He never said a word, he walked to the middle of the stone room, and found an incense table standing in the innermost, with a strange-looking octagonal box enshrined on it. It turned out to be active, and it fell off when touched.
At the same time, a puff of white smoke suddenly rose from the opened lid, Zhou Fei quickly turned the cane in her hand into a long knife, hooked the back of Ying He Zong's neck, and dragged him back: "What are you doing? Bump!"
The white smoke in the box was like a lingering grievance. It charged aggressively towards the top of the stone chamber, and then dissipated. There was a piece of silk cloth in the empty octagonal box, with the shape of a bug pressed out of it.
Ying He Cong may feel that he is immune to all poisons, and he has to stretch out his hand again, only to be abducted by Zhou Fei.
Du Langzhong covered the back of his hand with some grievances, and glanced at Zhou Fei secretly, but didn't say a word.
"Get out of the way." Zhou Fei limped forward, held her breath, and carefully picked out the piece of silk cloth with the tip of her crutch.
The silk cloth was about three feet square. Zhou Fei opened it and spread it flat on the ground. Seeing that it was covered with densely written teeny small letters, the handwriting was irregular and even a little delicate.
Ying Hecong held up the torch and read: "Yu lost his parents since childhood, inherited the great kindness of the teacher's family, and was named after 'moistening', nourished my body, taught my Taoism, and was a teacher when I was weak. I was frivolous and complacent. What is accomplished, words must reach 'the world', and words cannot be separated from 'the people'... ”
Ying He Cong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he carefully knelt on the ground, almost lying on the silk cloth: "This is the real work of Lu Guoshi!"
Lu Run spent hundreds of words in the back, writing about his life by fate. The tone is normal, the handwriting is even more horizontal and vertical, the layout is beautiful, but the content is rambling, the three sentences are inseparable from the set of "seeking immortals" and "detachment".
"He said that he once went to the old voodoo tomb and the old site of the Nirvana religion, and then spent several years in the medicine valley, studying the ancient voodoo inscriptions, in order to..." Ying Hecong paused and wrinkled. With long eyebrows, he said, "Looking for whether there is really a way to bring the dead back to life."
"Skip this nonsense," Zhou Fei said. "And then? He studied so many ancient voodoo texts, what did he find out? Then Nirvana Gu must be of any use, otherwise, why did Qimen keep this curse for so many years?"
"I have spent sixty years in vain, and now the floating life will rest, and the big dream will wake up. I know that I have the shortness of an inch of yin, the longness of a hundred generations, and the smallness of ants, and the vastness of the sky and the earth. What is the path, only increased laughter." Ying He Cong said in a low voice, "Small border people poisonous insects, but the side door used for parasitic transmission, can also drive people to make mischief, pretend to be ghosts, ridiculous, ridiculous! However, its venom also has some magical effects, which can make hundreds of poisons evade, although this place It is pure and clean, but there are many insects and scorpions, and all the little friends live here for a long time. They often suffer from the two poisons of dampness and cold, and even the meridians are stagnant. You can use a little venom, and the method of yin and yang can be used to dispel them. Poisonous insects are insidious by nature. Hey, what are you doing?"
Zhou Fei didn't wait for him to finish, and grabbed him by the collar. She didn't know where the strength came from, and she just moved one step at a time. At this time, she lifted up Ying He with one hand and asked, "Can you make it? What does it mean to avoid a hundred poisons?"
Ying Hejian moved his neck with difficulty: "Literally... Haven't you heard of fighting poison with poison? Let me go!"
Zhou Fei tightened her fingers, and quickly asked, "You also said the same thing before when you were in Yongzhou, 'Bone Bone Green', you said it is the top of the hundred poisons, and those who have been hit with Bone Bone Blue don't have to worry. Others... So what happens when Touguqing encounters Nirvana Gu poison?"
"Boneless?" Ying Hecong was taken aback, "That person isn't dead yet?"
Zhou Fei squeezed three words between her teeth: "Speak human words."
"This... I haven't tried it," Ying He Cong said, "difficult... cough... hard to say."
Zhou Fei was silent for a moment, then suddenly threw him away, turned her head and left, she simply ignored the crutches, jumped out of the seven gates with one leg, and dragged Li Sheng, who was in command of the digging, up: "You What about the Nirvana Gu Mother that was casually rolled up? Hurry up, give it to me first, and there must be other secret doors here, find them all, and find out if there is any record of 'yin and yang' in the access control area. "
Ying Hecong, who caught up, heard this and said in shock: "What, Nirvana Gu mother is on you? Impossible!"
Li Sheng was urged by Zhou Fei to search in a panic for a long time, and then he found the Nirvana Gu Mother wrapped in old clothes from a small package close to him. The three of them squatted on the ground together, staring at the The female worm that Zhou Fei slashed with a knife.
"No wonder my snake didn't feel it." Ying Hecong narrowed his eyes and stared at the knife edge on the insect's body, "It turns out that he died so thoroughly. Zhou Daxia, look at this knife edge... You killed it?"
Zhou Fei just jumped out of the secret passage and burst the wound on her waist. The blood and water mixed with Ying's unique golden sore medicine was really painful and itchy. With an unspeakable pain on his face, he said, "Don't mention it, I want to pay for it now."
Ying He picked up the dead female worm with a frown.
Zhou Fei's palms were sweating nervously, and she asked, "How about it, do you still have the venom mentioned in Lu Guoshi's suicide note?"
Ying Hecong glanced at her coldly: "I ask this question, the female worms are dead, where can I find the venom? You might as well go to the place where the Gu worms were killed back then and scrape the ground."
Zhou Fei's heart sank suddenly, as if a cold iron hammer had struck her chest.
Ying Hecong carried the corpse of Nirvana Mother Gu and said something more, but Zhou Fei couldn't hear it at all.
Suddenly, she inexplicably remembered a sentence from Lu Run's suicide note: "Everything is a dog, only human beings are affectionate and wise, how can they know that they are actually animals of the six realms! How poisonous is good fortune."
Zhou Fei has always done more and thought less, and she is really not at the age to indulge in numerology, but suddenly, she suddenly thought of those elders in the village who often talked about "good and bad".
For the first time in her life, she encountered the so-called "God's Will".
Why did she hack Nirvana Gu with her own hands
Why was it after she killed the Nirvana Gu that she was able to enter the Qi Gate forbidden area and find Lu Guoshi's suicide note
Is there an irresistible creation in this world, rushing to the doomed result without hesitation, and no matter how hard mortals struggle, there is nothing they can do
In the valley of tens of thousands of enemy troops, Zhou Fei was not afraid, and even asserted to Li Sheng that she would not die, but now she escaped to a safe place, instead, she felt an uncontrollable trembling in her heart. She already had two infuriating qi in her body. Although she had internal injuries, she continued to circulate and heal herself after waking up. At this moment, the sea of qi seemed to be exhausted. signs.
Li Sheng first saw that her face was wrong, and hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt: "Wait a minute... Ah Fei?"
Zhou Fei lowered her gaze and glanced at him.
Li Sheng looked at her face carefully: "Are you... alright?"
Zhou Fei didn't say a word.
Li Sheng hurriedly covered the corpse with his old clothes, and said palely: "This... Xie Gongzi Jiren has a natural appearance, and a mere Gu worm may not really be of any use. Anyway, it is now the northern army outside. , we can't get out either, just before my uncle and the others came, we rummaged through this forbidden area, maybe..."
Zhou Fei said, "Oh."
After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at Li Sheng, shook herself twice, and walked away.
As soon as everyone hid in the gated area of Qi, they hid for half a month. There was no daylight, and after a long time, people had the illusion that they could not distinguish between morning and night, and day and night. Li Sheng led people to search the secret passages in the forbidden area every day. The door, find a place to easily mark it with a small wooden sign, and occasionally dig out anything and talk to Zhou Fei.
Zhou Fei did not respond indifferently. Every day, she just sat in a daze in front of a wall of Tao Te Ching full of missing brushes and paintings.
