Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

I calmed myself down.

Look carefully at the corner of Meng Jingye's eyes.

Sure enough, there are fine scales at the corners of his eyes that look a lot like snake scales!

Could it be...

I thought of the big snake that had bitten him before.

If the mucus of Black Tai Sui makes people live a hundred years, then it seems to make sense that the black saliva of the big snake made Meng Jingye grow snake scales.

I wonder what he will become in the end.

Could it be that he was like Professor Meng when he was possessed by evil spirits, and his whole body turned into a snake?

I didn't dare to think about it any further and pulled Cui Hao back two steps.

Meng Jianshe thought I was scared, so he held his head high and chest puffed out, acting very proudly.

"Stone Baby, are you scared?"

"If you don't dare to go first, I can!"

"Okay, then you go first." I made a gesture of invitation.

Meng Jianshe sneered.

"I knew you were a wimp."

"Take this opportunity to get to know yourself better. Don't show off in front of my Xiufang anymore. Stay as far away from her as possible."

"Pfft, hahahaha."

Cui Hao couldn't help laughing and said, "My brother Shitou doesn't like Xiufang."

"She is a wild flower in a dung heap, only a pile of cow dung like you can appreciate her."

"You ass hammer, who are you calling cow dung?!"

Just as Meng Jianshe was about to show his strength, Tuoye hit him on the head with his pipe.

"Don't make any noise!"

"You can make all the noise you want when you find your baby."

"You three, march in step."

Meng Jianshe stood at the front holding a hunting rifle.

Cui Hao and I formed a triangle on either side of him and walked towards the center of the platform.

The closer we got to the center, the louder the crying became, even to the point of hurting our eardrums.

Cui Hao came over with his teeth bared: "Brother, use a knife to cut some cloth so I can plug my ears."

I also thought about plugging my ears with cloth.

But I also feel that plugging my ears would reduce my sense of danger.

After all, many dangers can be sensed through the ears.

Seeing Cui Hao in pain, I felt soft-hearted.

At worst, I can just be more alert and pay attention to danger at all times.

I lowered my head to cut the fabric from my clothes, and the light from my headlamp shone on the ground, and a clear star map came into my sight.

It was then that I discovered that there was an entire star map engraved on the ground of the platform!

I was stunned for a moment.

Cui Hao lowered his head and watched with me.

"Brother, what's that carved on the ground?"

"Astrological chart."

"Look at the line connecting these stars. Doesn't it look like the wooden handle of a small net bag? We're standing right now in the constellation of Aldebaran!"

"What the hell? What?"

Cui Hao had never seen astrological charts before, so he had no idea what they meant.

Meng Jianshe suddenly turned around to look at us and shouted, "Why aren't you leaving? Can you be a little braver? Are you scared by my crying?"

I cut off the corner of my clothes with a butcher knife, divided it into two halves and gave them to Cui Hao.

"Plug your ears, mouse."

Cui Hao stuffed the cloth into his ears and looked much more relaxed.

"Plugging your ears actually helps. Hurry up and plug them too, brother."

I pulled him to quicken his pace and keep up with Meng Jianshe.

I looked down from time to time on the road.

It is determined that a map of the twenty-eight constellations is engraved on the ground surrounding the central area of ​​the platform.

I suddenly realized that the positions of the four bronze men were not improper!

But the four directions!

Four Symbols, Twenty-Eight Constellations, is this platform used for offering sacrifices to heaven?

Do not!

The twenty-eight constellations are under your feet, and the four symbols are your companions. The ones being worshipped should be the gods in heaven!

I was about to think about it further when I heard Meng Jianshe scream.

"what!"

He was seen staggering backward with a scream.

He lost his balance and fell flat on his butt.

The panicked Meng Jianshe pointed his hunting rifle forward with both hands, and backed away with his butt twitching, which looked quite funny.

But I couldn't laugh at all.

There must be something weird that could scare him like this!

I took two or three steps to reach Meng Jianshe.

"You were so cool just now, why are you scared so quickly?"

"Let me see if you're scared?"

"Huang, Huang, Huang San!" Meng Jianshe pointed to a place not far away in a crying voice.

Cui Hao stretched his neck to look in the direction Meng Jianshe pointed.

"There's nothing here. Where is Huang San?"

"Further ahead, there's a pit, and they're all in it!"

"you sure?"

I have some doubts.

I was the one who opened the passage down, how could Huang San and the others get in first?

And the passage before we came in...

Wait, those big snakes suddenly disappeared!

The big snake can suddenly appear and disappear.

Could it be that they brought Huang San and others in?

I gripped the butcher knife tightly and walked forward slowly, taking every step carefully.

After six steps.

Finally I saw the edge of the pit.

In the center of the platform, there is a square pit about five meters long and wide.

Take two more steps forward.

I saw Huang San in the pit.

He lay on his back.

There was a huge bloody hole between the chest and abdomen, the entire chest cavity was folded on the spine, the hands were twisted into wings, and the legs were bent into a strange S shape.

This looks so familiar!

This is exactly the posture of a human sacrifice!

"Brother, Huang San... this... hiccups!"

Cui Hao only took one look, then his legs went weak and he squatted on the ground, tilting his head and vomiting wildly.

Tuo Ye and Meng Jingye also rushed over.

Seeing the death of Huang San and the others, both of them looked a little nervous.

"Why are they here? And how did it become like this?"

"You ask me? Who should I ask?"

"This is the cannon fodder hired by your Meng family, so of course I have to ask you." Grandpa Tuo said confidently.

"what?!"

"Look, are they melting?" Meng Jingye exclaimed in surprise.

I went to watch it with Grandpa Tuo.

The bodies of Huang San and others turned into mucus and flowed to the bottom of the pit like candles exposed to heat.

There were long worm-like things in the mucus, twisting and wriggling, and some were bouncing out of the mucus.

"Oh no! It's the Three Corpses and Nine Insects, retreat quickly!"

Uncle Tuo yelled, covered his mouth and nose and quickly retreated.

I pulled Cui Hao, who was still retching, back away.

But Meng Jingye stood there without moving.

Long, needle-thin worms, their bodies red all over, flew towards him in dense swarms.

Ding Ding Ding!

Amid the sound of metal clashing, Meng Jingye's clothes were torn into countless holes.

But not a single worm could get into his body.

Grandpa Tuo was so shocked that he muttered to himself: "How is this possible!"

"This is the red worm among the three corpses and nine worms!"

The Tang Dynasty's "Youyang Zazu" records: The upper corpse, the green girl, will damage people's eyes; the middle corpse, the white girl, will damage people's five internal organs; the lower corpse, the blood girl, will damage people's stomach and life.

It means that the nine insects are located in the upper, middle and lower parts of the human body. Once they appear, they will take a person's life.

Taoists believe that to become a golden immortal, one must first kill the three corpses, that is, destroy the nine insects in the place of the three corpses in the body.

In scientific terms, the three corpses refer to the human brain cavity, chest cavity, and abdominal cavity, and the nine insects are parasites in the human body.

But the long red worms I saw before me made me feel that they were not ordinary parasites at all!

At least it is not a parasite in the scientific sense.

Science really can't explain everything!

I shone the light on Meng Jingye.

Through the holes in his clothes, you can see that his body is covered with scales!

The dense scales reflected the cold light, and looked even more terrifying than those long insects.

"hehe."

Meng Jingye turned around with a smile.

Only the front of his cheeks were still scale-free.

Other parts of the body, including the ears, are covered with dense scales.

No matter how you look at him, he seems like a monster.

Gum!

Cui Hao swallowed hard.

"Brother, he won't turn into a snake demon, will he?"

"What should we do? Should we run?"

Grandpa Tuo slowly shook his head: "No, we can't outrun him. Even if we put all our forces together, we can't beat his speed."

Meng Jianshe came over trembling.

He looked at his own father in disbelief.

He cried out in a sobbing voice: "Dad!"

"You, why are there scales growing on your body?"
