Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 352: The earthworm has become a spirit?

I stared at the hole on the waist of the female corpse.

The golden nails held in his hands were also raised as weapons.

If something really comes out of the hole, I will definitely swing the golden nail and hit it hard.

However, when I held it tightly with both hands, I felt a layer of mucus on the gold nail, making it slippery in my hand.

This slippery feeling makes me very uncomfortable.

I was worried that my hand would slip while I was waving the golden nail, and it might fly out.

Gulu!

A stream of muddy water gushed out from the hole in the waist of the female corpse.

The consistency of the muddy water is a bit like thick rice porridge.

After emerging two or three centimeters, it flowed to the surroundings and flowed down the sides of the female corpse's waist.

Gulu gulu!

Mud and water came out in streams, but no evil spirits emerged.

Am I overthinking it?

I was just about to retract the raised golden nail when mud and water suddenly spurted out from the hole in the waist of the female corpse half a meter high.

Wow.

Mud and water splashed everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, something that looked like a snake and a long worm appeared!

Because it was covered in mud and water, it was impossible to determine what it was.

Wow!

The muddy water flowed slowly, gradually revealing the shape of the thing.

The thing was about the thickness of two thumbs.

It's about the same thickness as a gold nail.

The body that emerged did not have snake scales, but instead was covered with circles of soft, ring-shaped tissue.

The skin is blood red.

That very transparent, ruby-like red.

It also looks like the color of arterial blood under strong light.

The transparent red is very charming.

I even think that's not the red color that animal skin can have!

The top of the thing was bent down a little, forming a 7 shape with the vertical body.

The bent section turned 360 degrees in all directions and finally stopped facing me.

It seemed that was its head.

But I didn't see its eyes, nose, or ears.

It's as if it doesn't have these organs.

All that can be seen is the chrysanthemum-shaped mouth.

Many petal-like lines grow from the inside to the outside.

We stared at each other... No, it didn't have eyes, so I was just looking at it.

I don't know how it sensed my presence.

I don't know what it is using to observe me.

I just looked at it for three or four seconds.

A word suddenly popped up in my mind: earthworm!

Doesn’t this thing look like a large earthworm?

I used to catch earthworms when I was a child.

The children in the village had nothing to do. Apart from playing with cats and dogs and catching birds on trees, they also dug out vole nests and caught earthworms when they had nothing to do.

Guess why I dig out vole nests and catch earthworms?

Digging out voles is not for the purpose of eliminating the four pests.

But it was to steal the food hidden in the field mice's holes.

Although that thing is small, it may be used to store food.

When there is not enough food in winter, I will take Cui Hao out to look for vole holes.

Find the vole hole and dig down along the hole.

When you come across a fork in the rat hole, choose one of the two and continue digging.

Because there are basically two possible branches in the vole hole, one leads to the mouse's nest, and the other leads to the vole's food storage warehouse.

There are usually a dozen grain storage warehouses around the rat's nest.

These warehouses are half a meter to one meter deep and are filled with food collected by voles.

From corn and wheat to sweet potatoes, carrots and so on.

In winter, if you dig a vole nest, you can harvest at least dozens of kilograms of grain.

Voles are very aggressive creatures.

If someone robs it, it will not run away but will instead bare its teeth and pounce on the person to bite him desperately.

Some people were impatient and simply killed the voles with shovels.

Some people choose to ignore it.

In the end, the vole whose home has been robbed will find a stone or something like that and put its chin on it to hang itself.

Don't think I'm talking nonsense.

I have actually seen a field mouse that was so angry that it hanged itself after its house was robbed.

That scene is still vivid in my mind.

It was also from that time that I understood what it meant that all things have spirits.

Let’s talk about catching earthworms.

Catching earthworms is not as troublesome as digging out vole nests.

Just find a cool place, water it more, and then cover it with a piece of cowhide felt.

Because earthworms like cool and humid places.

After waiting for half a day and lifting the felt, you will see a lot of earthworms in the mud.

After catching the earthworms, cutting them open, removing the internal organs and mud and sand, and drying them, they become a traditional Chinese medicine called "earth dragon".

You can take the dried earthworms to a Chinese medicine shop and sell them for money.

I also caught ground beetles, mole crickets and other insects, dried them and sold them to Chinese medicine shops...

Let’s get back to the present.

When I confirmed that the thing standing half a meter high in front of me was an earthworm, I was completely stunned.

I had previously imagined that I might encounter all kinds of evil spirits.

But I never thought I would encounter earthworms!

Could this thing be evil?!

But if you say it is not weird, the length is too beyond imagination.

Usually, earthworms only live for two or three years, and at most they can grow to 10 to 20 centimeters long.

But the part of this earthworm that emerged from the ground is nearly half a meter long, and the part that didn't emerge from the ground is probably even longer.

Judging from its length, this earthworm is definitely a spirit.

Could he really be a great immortal?

The five major immortals that are well-known to ordinary people are Fox, Yellow, White, Willow and Gray. In fact, in addition to these five major immortals, there are some unknown immortals.

Among them are earthworms.

I once heard Tuoye say that when he went to Qilu to rob tombs, he saw a red tablet for the Lord in the house of an old man in the village.

After asking, I found out that Hong Changzhu was the guardian deity of their family.

When asked what kind of deity Hong Changzhu was, the old man said he was an earthworm.

Uncle Tuo almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Ask the old man how earthworms can be guardian spirits of the house.

The old man said very seriously: earthworms are not ordinary things. They were called crickets in ancient times. Qiu Yin, the general of Qinglong Pass in "The Investiture of the Gods", was an earthworm transformed into a spirit. The soul bead on his head can make people lose their souls.

Thinking of this, beads of sweat broke out on my palms.

It is not impossible for earthworms to become spirits.

It is better to use courtesy first and then force.

I whispered, "Earthworm...Great Immortal?"

The earthworm nodded twice slightly when he heard this.

It seems like you understand what I said!

I swallowed nervously, "Great Immortal, are you trapped here, or... are you guarding here?"

The earthworm's head shook twice.

Tsk.

Too many questions asked.

I don't know which question it was answering by shaking its head.

"Can I take this body away?" I asked the point directly.
