"These figurines are not made of stone!"
Queqiao Shao raised his round umbrella and rubbed it twice on the figurines above his head. His face suddenly became serious.
"This is made with a living person!"
Hearing what Partridge Whistle said, Chen Yulou nodded solemnly.
"I can see that the figurines are all wearing clothes, and judging by the outline of their clothes, they look a bit like those from the Han Dynasty."
"The human skin map clearly records that there are several burial pits around King Xian’s tomb, but the specific locations are not marked."
"This waterway should be one of the burial pits. Such a large burial pit must have been made by King Xian."
"In ancient times, the art of witchcraft was popular in Yundi, among which there was the evil art of using living people as figurines and feeding witches with the flesh and blood of living people. It is better not to touch these figurines, it is better to be careful!"
Before coming to Yundi, in order to have more confidence in going into the tomb, he did a lot of work on"August 17".
Whether it is legends or secrets, as long as it is related to the burial customs and specifications of Yundi, he has read and checked them.
There were many kings of Xian in the history of the Central Plains, but they did not exist in the same era. Except for the king of Xian of the ancient Dian Kingdom, the other kings of Xian were not in Yundi.
The king of the ancient Dian Kingdom was a famous witch king in the ancient Dian period, and he was proficient in the art of witchcraft.
His witchcraft uses the flesh and blood of the dead and the souls of the dead as the medium. The more sacrifices, the more powerful his witchcraft is.
These human figurines in front of them may have been slaves and craftsmen who built the royal tomb for the king.
In order to keep the secret of the tomb of the king, these people were killed by the king or loyal to the king. The king's men subdued him, fed him the 痋引, sealed his seven orifices, and then tied him up and hung him upside down on the ceiling of the cave.
The so-called 痋引 are actually 痋虫 eggs raised by 痋術.
Once the 痋虫 eggs enter the human body, they will quickly spread out, using the flesh, blood and bones in the human body as nutrients for growth, and sleep in the human body shell.
It looks like a human figurine, but in fact there is only a layer of human skin left, which is full of 痋虫 eggs.
If they do not encounter air, the 痋虫 eggs will continue to sleep and can survive for more than a thousand years.
As for what kind of 痋虫 are raised inside, he dare not say for sure.
There are many evil insects that can be raised by 痋術, such as the evil insects such as corpse beetles and corpse moths commonly found in tombs, which can all be raised by 痋術 into special 痋虫.
After speaking, Chen Yulou looked at Hua Maguai.
"Kidnapper, pass the message on, don't touch these human figurines, keep the torches and powder ready"
"Yes!"
Hua Maguai quickly sent a message to the raft behind him, feeling goose bumps all over his body.
Using living people to raise insects is simply insane.
If a few human figurines fall down, I'm afraid they will have to face some terrifying insect swarms.
Just like that, there was no more talking in the team. Everyone became alert, squatting on the raft and slowly drifting downstream.
After walking peacefully for a few minutes.
A ray of light appeared in front of the tunnel, and cold wind also poured in from the light.
"We are almost there!"
Chen Yulou immediately stood up from the raft and smiled as he looked at the exit not far away.
""Snap!"
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and the raft shook violently, as if the raft had scraped against some hidden rope.
"Hula....."
As if in response to everyone's speculation, a heavy metallic stirring sound was heard under the water. As soon as the metallic stirring sound started, there was also movement on the cave ceiling.
All the terracotta figures seen earlier broke free from the copper chains and fell downwards, making splashing sounds one after another.
But more terracotta figures fell directly on the raft.
Because this tunnel was very narrow, twenty or thirty rafts were walking inside, directly paving a road on the water surface. (To read the exciting novel, go to Fulu Novel Network!)
The guys with quick hands and feet could avoid the terracotta figures, but those who were slow and unlucky were directly hit by the terracotta figures.
The outside of the terracotta figures was supported by only a piece of human skin, and when they hit the water surface and the raft, they directly cracked.
In the cracked places of the terracotta figures, bubbles kept coming out, and clusters of insect eggs emerged.
Those insect eggs looked like white maggots. Those that fell on the raft were fine, but those that fell in the water were like dry sponges that absorbed water and expanded rapidly.
In just a blink of an eye, the eggs turned into finger-sized water pig wasps, with small fins growing on both sides of their bodies. They swam very fast and climbed up the raft like crazy.
"Damn it, I still can’t avoid it, I’m going to bleed again!"
Chen Wenxuan cursed in his heart, turned around instantly, and shouted to the team behind him:
"Don't panic, it's a water wasp, its bite won't kill you!"
"Sprinkle powder on the raft, light all the fires, and hurry out of the cave!"
The water pig wasp is a shallow-water insect that likes to lay eggs on floating rotten objects. The eggs will come alive when they come into contact with water.........
Although the poison is not strong, they are social insects and are very troublesome.
If a person falls into a water boar's nest, the insects will suck the blood dry in less than a minute, turning the person into a dried human, and then becoming their new nest for laying eggs.
After hearing Chen Wenxuan's words, the brothers on the raft behind immediately reacted and continued to pass the message back.
"Light the fire and sprinkle the powder, hurry up and get out of the hole!"
"Brothers, those bugs are horse turtles, burn them to death!"
They divided the work clearly.
Half of them spread insect repellent powder and roasted the water boar wasps that had swam around the raft, while the other half picked up bamboo poles and propped them up against the rock wall to speed up the raft.....There was also a very small number of people who could not help at all.
That small number of people were unlucky. They were hit by the human figurines that fell from the top of the cave. They were covered with water boar bee eggs, looking like maggots. It was disgusting.
At this time, these unlucky people were sprinkling powder on themselves to clean the water boar bee eggs.
In just a moment, more and more human figurines fell into the water, and more and more water boar bees were hatched.
There were more and more water boar bees, and they gathered together in layers and stuck to the bamboo raft under everyone's feet.
Even at the front exit, a layer of insect waves gathered.
Seeing this, Chen Wenxuan 2.8 did not hesitate. He drew out the dagger in an instant, slashed his left palm, and splashed the blood from the wound on the raft.
When he reminded the team before, he did not say the situation too seriously for fear of causing a commotion.
The water boar bees here are naturally not ordinary water boar bees.
This is a water pig bee raised by the witchcraft. It is stained with the resentment of the sacrifice. It is no less dangerous than corpse beetles and moths. It is definitely not pleasant to be bitten by them.
However, his blood is not ordinary blood.
Two pieces of pure black and one piece of deep red blood were poured down. The effect of his blood in repelling insects and warding off evil spirits is extremely strong.
As soon as the blood fell on the raft, the water pig bees in the waterway in front stopped moving forward instantly, turned around and swam away, unwilling to get close to the raft.
