Episode 35 corpse-scented konjac

I smell a refreshing fragrance from a distance. Is this magic flower poisonous? Generally, poisonous plants and animals are brightly colored. Look at the red leaves and green flowers of the corpse-scented konjac. The colors are as bright as dripping water. Maybe they are really poisonous. Thinking of this, I quickly asked everyone to put on gas masks.

The monkey said: "I don't think this flower is poisonous. Poisonous things are small in size. Such a big one is like a big bucket. I think it is a man-eating flower."

Miss Guo said: "It can't be a piranha. There aren't even ants around here. If this flower made a living by eating animals, it would have died long ago. Then the coffin made of the Kunlun Sacred Tree must have provided it with enough energy." Nutrients.¡±

The monkey snorted and said: "No matter what kind of ghost bird it is, I will shoot it a few times and kill it, then there will be no danger. Then let's go over and see how long the rice dumplings of the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions are." What."

Professor Qiao said: "Absolutely not. We would rather not go there than destroy this precious corpse-scented konjac."

I turned the searchlight to illuminate the surroundings of the coffin so that the professor and others could see more clearly. Under the light, I discovered that there were many characters carved on the edges of the stone beams. They were densely packed with ghost cave characters, and there were hundreds of characters. This discovery is not trivial. There are very few words in the entire ancient city, including the temple and the underground palace. Most of them are recorded in murals. Only the jade eyes in the temple have some ghost cave inscriptions. Unfortunately, I haven¡¯t had time to take a closer look, so let me give them. It was broken. I didn't expect that there were so many ghost cave inscriptions on this stone beam.

Text is the most basic symbol for human beings to transmit information. The information conveyed by ancient murals to people is an intuitive feeling, while the information contained in text is more precise. If these ghost cave texts are deciphered, it will be difficult to decipher this exquisite text. There will be fewer detours in civilization.

Professor Dong was busy asking the students to take notes, writing down part by part the ghost cave inscriptions on the stone beams. Fortunately, the fonts were very large, so you could use a searchlight to record them without getting too close. Miss Guo was also using a camera. Photograph.

Monkey and I were the only ones with nothing to do, and the professor didn¡¯t let us smoke here, so we had to sit on the ground and wait until they were done.

It seems that the archaeological work this time has come to an end. The harvest cannot be said to be small. The well-preserved murals in the sky brick figurines alone are enough to shock the archaeological community around the world for two years, not to mention this bottomless one. The big hole, plus the coffin of the Kunlun sacred tree, and the ancient strange corpse-scented konjac, all of which are enough for these intellectuals to study for a long time. We don¡¯t have any protection methods now. It is impossible to open the coffin to see the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions. Yes, I saw the coffin of Prince Pumo in the holy well a few days ago. Professor Qiao clearly prohibited us from opening the coffin. These actions must be reported to the leadership for approval before we can do it. I have no chance to see it.

It's a pity that Hao Aiguo died in the valley, otherwise he would have been so excited when he saw this. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him, and I also felt a little guilty in my heart. If I could have taken action faster..., forget it, this There are so many what-ifs in the world, damn, if I hadn't let my men kill those Vietnamese agents, maybe I would be a battalion commander now. The past is still vivid in my mind, and the more I think about it, the harder it is to calm down.

Seeing that I was dazed, the monkey patted my shoulder: "Old Hu, what do you think those two boys are doing?"

I came back from my tangled thoughts and took a closer look. I saw that Chu Jian and Zheng Yonghai had already stepped onto the stone beam. Didn't the professor say that they were not allowed to go up the stone beam to touch the Queen's coffin? I quickly asked what was going on.

Professor Qiao said: "It's okay. They didn't go to see the coffin. There was a lot of dust accumulated in the stone beams, which covered the fonts. They went over to sweep the dust away and came back. They all wore gas masks. They will be fine."

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

I wanted to call the two young students back and let me go on their behalf. Professor Dong said, "No, the ghost cave inscriptions on this stone beam are of great significance. You are not professional in doing this. If it gets damaged, just Please, Chu Jian and the others will use a brush to clean off the dust and debris bit by bit. They are very agile and can finish it in a minute or two. "

I still feel uneasy and restless. My intuition has always been very accurate. Something must have happened. Why didn¡¯t the British explorers who had been here before take away such a valuable coffin? Where are all the survivors except one deranged survivor? There seems to be no danger in this cave in the middle of the mountain, but what will happen if you get close to the Queen's coffin? I couldn't wait any longer and had to call Chu Jian and the others back quickly.

I was about to call them two, but it was too late. I saw two students walking one behind the other in the middle of the stone beam. Zheng Yonghai from behind suddenly bent down, picked up a rock, and took two steps to catch up with him. It hit Chu Jian in front of him on the head. Chu Jian tilted his body and fell into the bottomless hole under the stone beam without even making a sound.

All of this happened very suddenly, and no one had time to stop it. Before we could react, we saw Zheng Yonghai turning his head and pulling off the gas mask on his head, and smiled at everyone. This smile was unspeakably evil. Weirdly, he turned around and walked quickly towards the coffin at the end of the stone beam. He smashed his temple with the rock in his hand. The blood on his head flowed down like a bursting tide. He swayed twice and fell on the ground. On the coffin of Queen Jue, life and death are unknown.

The rest of the people were stunned by this bloody and strange scene. What happened to Zheng Yonghai? Why did he, who had always been gentle and gentle, suddenly turn into a murderer, killed his best classmate, and then committed suicide next to the coffin?

I shouted: "Oh no, these little glasses must have been possessed by evil spirits. The monkey is going to hit the black donkey's hooves. He seems to be not dead yet. It's still too late to save people."

Professor Ting saw two of his students, one dead and one injured, falling into the abyss. Even the bones were gone. The injured head was bleeding and fell at the end of the stone beam, motionless. He didn't know if he was still alive. Living, these facts were too hard to accept. She was so anxious that she fainted and fell to the ground. Ye Yixin quickly supported the professor. She was also frightened and could not do anything except cry.

I thought it was more important to save people, even if there was a ghost on the stone beam, I would have to fight hard. While letting Monkey and Miss Guo save the professor, I picked up the weapon and put the gas mask on my head. No matter how powerful the evil spirit is, I have to be afraid of the evil black donkey's hooves and glutinous rice. If the corpse-scented konjac is poisonous, I won't be afraid of it even if I put on a gas mask.

I didn't have time to think too much and stepped up to the stone beam. The stone beam was three meters wide and hung over the bottomless cave. When I looked down, I felt chills all over my body.

I was halfway out when I suddenly heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Monkey and Miss Guo following me. I asked them, "Why are you following me if you don't take care of the professor?"

The monkey said: "I don't know what ghosts are on this stone beam. I'm not worried about you coming here alone. Besides, it's difficult for you to carry Zheng Yonghai alone. Let's carry him back together and quickly return to avoid another accident."

I thought that time was urgent, and if I said a few more words, Zheng Yonghai would lose too much blood and be dead, so I waved for them to follow, and the three of them went straight to the coffin at the end of the stone beam.

This time I was closer, and I felt that the strange flower Amorphophallus konjac was extremely charming. The bright colors of the flowers and leaves were so thrilling to see. I remembered that Professor Qiao said that the soul of evil spirits was hidden in this magic flower. At this point, no matter how rare it was in the world, he cursed: "Damn it, maybe it's this monster flower that is causing trouble." He waved the engineer shovel in his hand, aimed at the corpse-scented konjac and chopped at it, cutting down the giant flower. There was a mess and a lot of black liquid leaked out, and he just stopped.

Miss Guo saw that my quick hands had already chopped the magic flower to pieces, and he had no time to stop it. He sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I'll chop it down. It's important to save people quickly."

I said: "That's right, stop Zheng Yonghai's bleeding quickly." As I said this, I went to get the first aid bandage, intending to wrap it around him twice and then carry him back for treatment as soon as possible.

The monkey stretched out his hand to touch Zheng Yonghai's carotid artery and sighed: "Stop working, it's over, there is no pulse, we are still a step too late."

I slapped my palm on the coffin angrily: "Damn it, how are you going to explain to their parents when you go back, and you don't have to hurt your family members to death?"

Unexpectedly, I slapped the coffin. Zheng Yonghai's body lying on the ground suddenly sat up like an electric shock. His eyes were red, and he pointed at Queen Jingjue's coffin and said: "She...she is alive... ¡­¡±

Miss Guo and Houhou and I were all shocked. Zheng Yonghai had obviously lost his pulse when touched just now. Why did he suddenly sit up and look dead?

I subconsciously grabbed a black donkey's hoof in my pocket and wanted to hit him, but when Zheng Yonghai finished speaking, he kicked his legs and fell straight to the ground again. This time he seemed to be really dead.
