That Gongshu Yaoshu is a collection of all the creation mechanisms in the world. Yuan Anning is very smart and will definitely gain something from participating in it. I must ask her to accompany me when I explore the tortoise shell in the future.
"I really feel a chill on the back of my neck." The fat man raised his hand to touch his head.
Hua Qi'er answered from the front, "It's hot outside and cold inside. Now I have a chill down my spine. After staying here for a long time, my whole body feels cold."
The light in the cave was dim, and walking in the tomb passage felt dull and depressing. Fortunately, the tomb passage was not long, only about ten feet, and it soon reached the end.
At the end of the tomb passage is a wooden door, which is also double-opening. This wooden door was obviously installed later. It is very rough, patched, and extremely worn.
There was no lock on the wooden door, but Hua Qi'er did not open the door immediately. Instead, he grabbed some more powder from the bag on his waist and sprinkled some on the two of them.
"Brother, what is this?" Nanfeng asked. In addition to the smell of medicine, this medicinal powder also has a stench.
"Donkey droppings from a female donkey that ate knotweed." Hua Cic'er clapped her hands.
Nanfeng originally had half a piece of cake in his hand, but after hearing this, he handed the cake to the fat man, "Are you hungry?"
The fat man glanced at Nan Feng and did not take the cake stained with donkey dung.
"You guys go in quickly after I open the door. Don't yell after you go in." Hua Qier was about to open the door.
"Brother, what's inside?" The fat man was very curious.
"Amazing beezi." Hua Qinger opened the wooden door.
It was pitch dark inside, Fatty went first, Nanfeng followed, Hua Qi'er took the torch and entered last, closing the door behind her back.
By the light of the torch, Nanfeng could clearly see the environment he was in. This was a passage similar to the tomb passage outside. The difference was that this passage was very wide. The stone walls on both sides were about five feet apart, and the passage was about ten feet long. At the end is another wooden door.
"Where is Beezi?" The fat man looked around.
Huacic'er waved to the two of them and led them towards the stone wall on the right. When they got closer, they could see that there were a large number of round holes the size of wine cups on the stone wall. They were densely packed. The entire stone wall was full of such round holes.
Hua Ci'er squatted down, pulled out the short knife, and touched one of the round holes.
Soon, an insect crawled out of the round hole. This insect was somewhat similar to a wasp, but it was much larger than a wasp. It was about a stick long and about the thickness of a thumb. It was all black. After crawling out, it brought out a strong smell. The stench.
The strange bee crawled out of the round hole, circled around the hole, and found no abnormalities, then crawled back into the round hole.
"Why is this bee so big?" the fat man asked.
The fat man spoke a little louder, which alerted the strange bees nearby. More than a dozen strange bees came out of the round holes, and some of them fluttered their wings and flew up.
As the strange bee flew up, a strange sound appeared in the passage. The sound was like a female ghost laughing sinisterly, eerie, "Hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey hey~"
Since those strange bees were flying and circling around the three of them, the fat man did not dare to move or make a sound. When the strange bees returned to the round hole in the stone wall, he was relieved and took a long breath.
Hua Qi'er led the two of them back to the center of the passage and said with a proud smile, "What, are you scared?"
"What is this?" The fat man looked around, fearing that the sound would be too loud and disturb the strange bee.
"This is an invincible giant ghost bee. One of it can sting a cow to death. If the cow dies, it won't die. If you raise it for a few days, it can sting people again." Hua Qi'er was very proud.
The fat man was still frightened by the ghost's sinister laughter, "You don't need to sting, you can scare people to death if you let it out in the middle of the night."
Hua Qi'er was obviously not a good guide, nor did he introduce the origin of this strange bee. The two of them had to ask him before he could answer. Naturally, this strange bee was not called the "Invincible Giant Ghost Bee". This name should have been given to them by Hua Qi'er himself. Yes, but these strange bees will make strange sounds like ghost laughter after flying up. It is appropriate to call them ghost bees. This thing does not eat nectar, but is a carnivore. It is fed twice a year and does not eat other meat. Only eat human flesh.
Since they only ate human flesh and there were round holes in the stone wall, the fat man suspected that this thing was there when the tomb was built and was part of the anti-theft mechanism.
Hearing what the fat man said, Hua Qian'er was very displeased. She gave the torch to Nan Feng and stamped her feet and shouted. The ghost bees in the round holes were disturbed and crawled out and flew up one after another. The passage instantly turned into a ghostly realm. Thousands of ghost bees fluttered and flew, and the ghostly laughter echoed from the sealed passage. The two people were horrified and stood there, not daring to breathe out.
Hua Qi'er muttered something in his mouth, raising his arms and shouting from time to time. The numerous ghost bees followed his shouts, flying left and right, up and down. After a while, Hua Qi'er let out a mouthful of shouts, and the ghost bees immediately returned to their nests. There was no one outside. Can't see it.
Seeing that the two of them were pale with fright, Hua Qi'er was very proud, "I found this outside and moved it here to raise it. You don't even think about it. If it had been there earlier and no one fed it, it would have starved to death." "
The fat man repeatedly said yes when he heard this, but obviously he didn't mean what he said.
"There should be mechanisms for firing spears in the stone walls on both sides. Those round holes are the spear exits. They were not dug for beekeeping before." Nanfeng said.
"You still have knowledge." Hua Tinger took the torch from Nanfeng's hand and continued to move forward.
"Brother, what words did you just say?" Nanfeng asked. Hua Qi'er kept mumbling words when he was directing the ghost bees. He was right next to him and heard clearly. What Hua Qi'er said was not barbaric language.
"Spell." Hua Ci'er replied casually.
Hua Cic'er said this, but he didn't say anything, but Nanfeng didn't continue to ask. Hua Cic'er probably wasn't hiding anything, and it was very possible that even he didn't know what he was shouting. Mantras and spells are very mysterious things. Some require the caster to understand the specific meaning of the mantra, while others only need to know the pronunciation to be effective.
"Approximately how many ghost bees are there?" Nanfeng asked.
"This is called the Invincible Big Ghost Bee." Hua Qi'er corrected.
"Yes, the invincible Big Ghost Bee." Nan Feng said, "If you know your mistakes, correct them."
"I don't know how many there are, but there should be tens of thousands." Hua Ci'er walked to the wooden door, "Be careful, there is a big pit in here, stay close to it."
The two nodded in agreement, and Huacier opened the wooden door and stepped in.
When the two of them entered, Hua Qi'er had already lit the brazier. The brazier was moved in later and placed in the corner.
By the light of the fire, Nanfeng could clearly see the situation here. In front of him was an area similar in size to the passage where the Ghost Bee was. The difference was that the ground here had completely collapsed. The place where the three of them were standing was later dug and laid. The wooden path leads to the front along the stone wall on the right, and below is a pit as deep as five feet. Although it is not very deep, the walls are very smooth, and it is difficult to climb out of it if you fall into it.
"It turned out to be a thick copper plate underneath, with nails all over it. I was short of money in the early years, so I was asked to move it out and sell it for a herd of cows," Hua Qi'er said.
Nanfeng nodded. Due to the difficulty of mining and smelting, copper was mostly cast into coins and weapons. The price of copper was very high and it could almost be used as currency.
Most of the utensils used by the people were pottery and wood, while metal utensils were mostly made of gold, that is, iron.
"What's in front of you?" The fat man pointed forward.
"There are also things growing down here." Hua Ci'er stretched out her hand and pointed.
After hearing this, the two of them cast their sights into the bottom of the pit again, but except for some gravel, nothing else could be seen at the bottom of the pit.
Hua Qi'er grabbed the half piece of dough that Nanfeng had been holding and threw it into the bottom of the pit.
The fat man saw clearly, "Are those little black dots ants?"
Nanfeng didn't have spiritual energy, so he could only vaguely see the piece of dough, but couldn't see the black spots that the fat man said.
"Yes, but they are not ordinary ants, they are giant ants that grow on even an inch of grass." Hua Qi'er said with a smile on his face.
"Isn't that still an ant?" the fat man said casually.
"Can you speak?" Hua Ci'er stared.
Seeing this, Nan Feng hurriedly changed the subject, "Brother, that piece of cake is stained with donkey dung, will they eat it too?"
"You don't understand this. They are already dead. They will only wake up when they smell the medicinal gas." Hua Qi'er pulled Nan Feng back, "Be careful, don't fall."
Nanfeng was pulled to the wall by Hua Qi'er, and he stretched out his hand to support the wall. He found that his hands were sticky and slippery. He retracted his hands and lowered his head, only to see a little red dirt on his hands.
I had doubts in my mind, so I looked at the stone wall intently. I saw sporadic red and blue spots on the stone wall, which I thought were some kind of paint. I looked at the opposite stone wall and saw similar marks. There should have been murals on these two stone walls before. Unfortunately, Over time, the mottled spots have faded.
While Nanfeng was looking around, Fatty had been staring at the ants at the bottom of the pit. After looking for a long time, he couldn't see the doorway. He was a little uninterested and asked, "How about we go inside and have a look?"
"Don't worry, wait a while." Hua Ci'er refused to leave.
Nanfeng was interested and continued, "There must be something magical about these ants. If they were ordinary things, I wouldn't keep them here."
"That's natural." Hua Tinger smiled and nodded.
"Why are they not moving? Are they going to give birth?" the fat man asked.
"Yes, when you are full, you will give birth to a baby, and half a stick of incense will hatch. If you are full, after half a stick of incense, the little one will grow up. When it grows up, it will give birth to a baby. It will not take an hour, and it will be Hao It’s a huge group, that’s it, don’t wait any longer, let’s go, we’ll see when we come back.” Hua Ci’er took the lead.
"As long as there is food, they will keep breeding?" Nanfeng followed Hua Qier.
"Yes, don't underestimate these little things. If anyone offends me, just let two of them go. Wherever they go, there won't be any grass growing. He will chew up all the palaces, mansions and buildings." Hua Ci'er said with a smile.
"This thing can be controlled audibly?" Nanfeng asked.
"That's natural," Hua Qier looked back at Nanfeng, "If you like them, I'll give you two."
"Thank you, brother." Nanfeng thanked him immediately. This little thing is actually an excellent way to do evil in secret and take revenge on others.
"I want it too," the fat man shouted.
"It's just an ant, what do you want it for?" Hua Ci'er held a grudge.
The fat man was unhappy but had nothing to do. Who made him unable to speak and offended his brother-in-law.
Nanfeng gloated and tilted his head to laugh at him.
The fat man curled his lips and muttered, "Flattery."
The three of them pressed against the stone wall and came to the door. This door was also a wooden door, but it contained a heavy medicinal essence.
"Guess what's in here?" Hua Ci'er asked.
"Is there a reward for guessing it right?" The fat man wanted ants.
"Yes." Hua Ci'er nodded.
"It's either a mouse or a scorpion, it's either a scorpion or a centipede." The fat man guessed three in one breath.
Nanfeng shook his head, "The medicinal energy on the door belongs to the seven-leafed flower, and there should be a snake inside."
"You may be knowledgeable, but your guess is wrong. This is not a snake, but a dragon..."
