Chapter 802: Prison Mystery Corpse (25)
The remote southern border was undercurrent for a moment, and Chu Xunyu and the other two were also in danger in the mountains. Although they didn't know how harsh the environment outside was, it was certain that the experience they were facing was not much better now. Mu Yuan held up the jar of wine and touched the mechanism, and instantly became shaking the sky and the earth. The earth-colored skeletons that were originally attached to the wall seemed to be alive, and they fell to the ground one by one, rushing to run out the door. Chu Xunyu was very puzzled and kicked over one. Only then did he see the true faces of these skeletons clearly, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Only seeing the skeletons had short feet, softness, and water marks dragged on the ground. Mu Yuan could see clearly and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What is this? Snail?"
"Ghost Snail!" Chu Xunyu pulled the two of them out of the door and wanted to find the exit to leave. He explained to everyone that this thing is unique to southern Xinjiang and is difficult to see in the Central Plains. Originally, this thing was a plant that grew in the water and ate aquatic plants. It was extremely large and the size of an adult forearm. Unlike ordinary snails, their eyes grew on the shell and were not to mention fighting. Compared with ordinary ones, it was very flexible. The most important thing was that this thing had a strong ability to adapt to the environment and had an unimaginable endurance. If there was no food, they would prey on each other. Originally, the people in the Central Plains called them "octopus snails", which meant that they were very flexible.
It grows like an octopus in the sea, but around the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was cultivated on corpses by the masters from southern Xinjiang. They were born with calves, and their shells would grow skeleton-shaped, with poisonous poisons. Therefore, the cultivators in the Central Plains called them corpse ghoul snails. A monk from the Central Plains used this thing to be used by the masters to seek medical treatment, and brought a living one. Therefore, the Medicine King's Mansion recorded that it was generally impossible to see in the outside world. It turned out that the circular object that Mu Yuan touched from the ground should be the shell of this thing. It felt like he was licked because his fingers touched one of them. It was probably one of them awakened and pushed his hands with his tentacles.
"Then I'm not poisoned?" Mu Yuan was shocked and stopped and looked down at his fingers.
"No." Chu Xunyu replied decisively, "The poison of this thing must be squeezed out and dripped on the wound or let you take it. There is no injury on your hands and it should not be poisoned."
"But why doesn't this thing hurt people?" Wangchen lowered his head and saw the corpse ghoul snails on the ground running out with him, which was very puzzled. "Isn't the essence of the mechanism hurting people? Why do we seem to be running as well?"
"What if it is, go out first." Chu Xunyu knew there was a problem, but now he didn't have time to think about it. The ground was shaking violently, and it was obvious that danger was coming. Not only was it in the abdomen of the mountain, but the three of them also entered the small wooden house sealed on all sides. If there was a person who had no choice but to die, he would be buried alive in the deep mountains. By then, the gods would have no choice but to descend to the earth.
When they came to the living room, they looked up and saw that the exit from the roof was blocked by such corpse ghoul snails. After looking closely, it was not blocked, but they rushed out of the hole, and their kind were squeezed out from time to time. Chu Xunyu got angry and thought that this evil beast was blocking the way. He took the long sword and stabbed the dense corpse ghoul snails like rain, revealing the hole. The three of them quickly got up and flew out, first back to the open land, and could open their fists and feet no matter whether they were to be beaten or killed.
But unexpectedly, the three of them stopped as soon as they left the hut. Chu Xunyu looked around vigilantly, wondering how long it took for the mechanism to disappear? Mu Yuan asked curiously: "Is it because of the disrepair that the objects that arranged the mechanism were rusted and rotten?"
"Nonsense." Chu Xunyu still answered with such classic words. Suddenly, he saw Mu Yuan still holding the clay jar in his arms, and asked angrily, "What are you doing with this erotic thing?"
"You care." Mu Yuan put it into the world in her sleeve, "I found this thing, it's mine. I'll throw it whenever I want."
Chu Xunyu was too lazy to pay attention to him. He looked down and saw that the zombie snails on the ground were still climbing, and the number was increasing. The mountain belly outside was originally full of thick rhizomes. Now he shook the mechanism and all the zombie snails hidden in the rhizomes were turned out, especially the main stem of the vine, some of which were swallowing the black flowers on the vine.
Mu Yuan laughed and teased: "It seems that we encountered something that made all these little guys hungry, just like the bells of our Buddhist temple."
Before Chu Xunyu could use the word "Classic", the vine in front of the left suddenly shook in panic, and a ball of ghoul snails fell into it. The three of them were stunned. Chu Xunyu immediately shouted: "Scatter!"
The three of them quickly left Feiyuan. At this time, the corpse ghoul snails crawled on the vines disappeared in balls and shaking the vines branches and leaves that appeared from time to time. This time, even Mu Yuan could see that the three of them were coming, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Is the real master there?"
"I remembered it." Wangchen suddenly realized, "Didn't the person named Mi Qi leave a message to explain that this place was fortified with the plague beasts they captured back then? We haven't seen them along the way, and those plague beasts hidden in the vine!"
Wangchen is indeed the old world, and he is right, and he hits the point. He suddenly saw a huge head, the size of a copper bell, aimless, black, pointed ears like a cat, nostrils facing the sky, an old man's beard three inches on his jaw, and a strange red tongue stretched out. The tip of the tongue was like a water curtain, and straight lines. There was also a thick arm, and his palm was like a bear. He looked closely and had a meat pad. He grabbed the corpse snails in the darkness and sent it to his mouth. His saliva kept dripping, and seemed to be hungry. Every time he ate, the wrinkles on the cat's face surged into a ball. Although the eyes were aimless, there were two ***. Every time he chewed, the wrinkles seemed to be smiling, and it seemed to be very useful.
"This is—" Chu Xunyu shouted in disbelief, "Xia Verve Tiger?"
"What? What scary tiger?" Mu Yuan asked strangely, "You know this thing? I look like a cat."
Chu Xunyu naturally needs to explain it briefly. Xia plague tiger is a beast of disease in ancient times. It is one of the top ten major diseases in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It is mainly disease, stupid and greedy, lazy and hot. According to legend, five plague gods appeared in the battle of the gods, namely Zhang Yuanbo, Liu Yuanda, Zhao Gongming, Zhong Shigui, and Shiwenye, who are in charge of the five major plagues "spring, summer, autumn, winter, and middle", each with different characteristics. Among them, Xia Wen Liu Yuanda's mount is this thing. It is born on a tree, happy when encountering water, move when encountering summer, and sleep when coming from cold. Because of his greed and stupidity, it is difficult to practice and cannot open up spiritual wisdom to become a human body, but his life span is extremely long. Every thing in the world has its own strength, and this beast can probably live. Two thousand years later, in the battle of Qishan, the Jie Cult captured a plague spreading on the battlefield. Zhou army soldiers were infected and died one after another. Fortunately, Jiang Taigong arrived in time and used the God-beating Whip to hit Xia Wenhu's head three times and drank the beast to remove the beast. The reason why Jiang Ziya did not use the Mysterious Musk Sword to kill this beast was because it was not a monster in the underworld, but the mount of the Xia Plague God Liu Yuanda, one of the orthodox immortals. It belongs to the first-class immortal world. The God-beating Whip is specialized in the immortal god. Although this beast has no wisdom, due to the supreme divine power of the God-beating Whip given by Yuanshi Tianzun, he had to kneel down. After the battle of the God-beating War, the two religions, three Shangs, heaven, earth, and underworld, were separated, and this beast was rarely seen.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, many cultivators entered the world and worshiped the vassals of various vassal states at that time. Many famous diners from many kings or ministers were cultivators. Among them, the book "Lüshi Chunqiu" written by the cultivator Lu Buwei recorded a passage. Chu Xunyu liked to read ancient books. He clearly remembered it: "Summer orders enter the burial, and the plague tiger wades into the water and travels, and the people eat water and gets infected with diseases. The headache is like chopping, and their minds are chaotic, and they are all chaotic, and they die after abdominal pain and bleeding. The corpse is buried in the coffin, and the plague tiger licks its fat and laughs. It is a thousand miles away from the ground, and there is no one in the wilderness." The general meaning is to say this
The things are coming out in summer. The hotter the weather, the more vigorous it becomes. They like to march along the water, spread the plague and infect people. The infected people have headaches, diarrhea and blood, and they will die within three days. After being buried, due to the heat, the oil on the body is sunburned. This thing digs open the grave and licks the oil of the corpse, and looks very happy. Wherever it walks, there are bones of people who die of illness everywhere. One of them once appeared in the Qin territory and was killed by cultivators led by Lu Buwei, so this article is recorded.
It turned out that the plague beast dug out from Master Ju in this mountain refers to this thing. The last time this beast appeared in history was indeed the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Chu Xunyu never dreamed that the barbaric disease beast that had disappeared for nearly a thousand years was imprisoned here by Master Ju using magical means. It only came out in summer a year, and the remaining three seasons were hibernating. The colder the weather became, the deeper it fell. Now spring was already beginning, and the colder the air gradually subsided. Chu Xunyu and the other two touched some unknown mechanism and woke it up. Mu Yuan asked Chu Xunyu anxiously: "Do you bring medicine to cure the plague?"
"I took it, but I took it." Chu Xunyu's expression was a little ugly, because he saw Xia Wenhu's head raised, as if he was looking in the direction of the three of them, "But this thing is the ancestor of Xia Ji, so I don't know if it is useful."
