Chapter 343: Insect jade stone
This daughter’s mysterious grand canyon in China has the scorching sun during the day, but the moonlight is like water and silver at night. At this time, in the eyes of the seven monsters of tomb robbers, the bright moonlight makes the trees very quiet and feel very cool!
The golden lotus in the grass is like a golden floor, and the white anemone is like a jade-covered slope. The cool breeze on the summer night is refreshing. The waterfalls and springs around the canyons, the pools and streams are clear, and the sound of water flows in the summer night. The poplars, serpentine maple, and oak trees on the hillside stand layer by layer, like giants under the bright moon.
The seven tomb robbers looked around in the moonlight with a great view, but they saw leaves hiding bunches of wild fruits, dotted in clusters of graves! A mile westward is the tomb of Shaoyang, the first king of the Kingdom of Women. The treasure Seventh Brother in this tomb has been planned for a long time, and this is his real purpose for this time to come to Qinling Mountains.
The Qinling Grand Canyon under the moon is mysterious and unpredictable! The owl who likes to stay up late hides in the treetops, howling like a ghost, which is creepy.
The six monsters led the white horse and followed Brother Brutal for about a mile westward. They saw a pile of white stones like a hill under the moon, which was more than six feet high! If they walked around the pile of big stones, it would take several minutes, and it would be a big scale.
Two months ago, Brother Qi had already come here and stepped on the plate. He had a preliminary understanding. This time, he took everyone here from afar to dig up the tomb of the first generation of the king of the Kingdom of Women to steal the unique treasures inside.
"Brother Qi, where can we dig from?" Huadan's little mouse eyes flashed under the moon, looking at Brother Qi's ghostly fire-like eyes, and asked quietly.
Brother Qi knew the appearance of this stone tomb last time he had already observed the appearance of this stone tomb. He saw him smoking a pipe in the south of the pile of big stones. The charcoal of the pipe flashed like ghost fire under the moon, reflecting his solemn face as iron.
After a while, Brother Qi put his big pipe on the wolf's waist, and pointed it under it with his right foot and said, "It's here, dig it for me."
Huadan is a guy who is good at digging holes like a mole. He waved his shovel when he heard this, shovel, shoveled off the green turf under the moon, and dug it downwards.
The bottom is full of cooked soil, which is very easy to dig. The soil is not sticky and there are no pebbles or other things. After a while, the flower girl dug it down to the ground and couldn't see his little mouse eyes under the moon.
As he was digging, a ghost-like voice from the slanted hole deep in the **-foot-deep cave: "I said Qi Ge, I found a tomb passage here."
Brother Qi was surprised and happy, and leaned his head at the entrance of the cave and said, "You go in first, I will come down immediately." After that, he went down into the cave, crossed the wall of the cave and crawled down.
Sure enough, there was a deep tomb passage north of the cave, about one meter high, built with rectangular stones. At this time, the Huadan had already crawled in with Brother Qi's night pearl. Brother Qi was afraid that something would happen to this timid bastard, so he followed him in.
The two of them walked forward one after another along the tomb passage. After walking only three or four meters, the tomb passage began to appear in large downward slopes, like stairs, and stone steps, one by one, as if leading to the center of hell.
At this time, Brother Qi heard something behind him and turned around and saw the golden roaring monkey tiptoed behind him. The five monsters followed him, and the golden retriever followed behind the five monsters.
For some reason, Brother Qi felt uneasy at this moment. This was a strange feeling that he rarely had in normal times! "Don't be careful with me," Brother Qi said, and then turned around and walked down with the Huadan.
After walking less than three meters, the strong and powerful Qi Ge felt more and more heartbeat and uneasy. He grabbed Hua Dan and changed the front and rear positions with him, afraid that if something would happen, the kid would be fucked to death.
The Huadan was actually already worried. While bragging, he was holding back his face while quickly moving behind Brother Qi and even pushed the roar monkey in front. This way he felt a little safer, but his heart was still beating wildly. The stone tomb of the Kingdom of Women always made him feel uneasy.
The tomb passage was slanted downward, step by step, and it was getting deeper and deeper, as if it was leading to the dark eighteen-layer hell. Everyone didn't know how deep they walked, but finally a big circular hole appeared in front of them! This big hole was not a tomb chamber or a natural hole, but was dug up manually.
From top to bottom, the hole was made of gray stone blocks, and the hole exuded a strange smell of impenetrableness and penetrated into the nose and eyes.
At this time, for some reason, the night pearl in the hands of the actress suddenly lost its luster and stopped lighting up, and everyone fell into darkness.
The frightened Hua Dan quickly put Ye Mingzhu in his pocket, took out the emergency folding pony lantern, and lit the pony lantern that was not much larger than his palm with foreign fire! In the shadows of light and shadow, everyone saw a piece of white jade more than one meter tall in the cave, and there seemed to be a slender insect on the jade.
At this time, in order to see clearly, the impatient Monkey King Baboon pulled out two spare pine sticks from his waist, slowly ignited them, held up the blazing flames, and rushed over to check!
Immediately afterwards, they saw the white jade disappear, and thick black smoke emerged from the spot, constantly swelling and rolling, and finally transformed like a monster, turning into a black monster nearly two meters high! The blackness stood in front of everyone, shocking the seven monsters of tomb robbers.
It turns out that this is not white jade, but worm and jade stone! At room temperature, it is often like a stone and jade. Once flames cause high temperatures in the air, it will turn into a large cluster of black insects gathered together, with extremely small individuals.
The single "snail" can be barely distinguished with the naked eye. These little guys gathered together in large numbers, which looked like black smoke.
Usually they are in a zombie state, with a large number of dead insects pressing together, just like black jade. After the insect corpses inside the shell sense a sharp change in the nearby air temperature, they will accelerate the transformation process, thereby removing the skin of the corpse and gathering together to fly out.
These worms that break out of the cocoon will secrete a large amount of corrosive liquid by constantly dying, swallowing up all nearby high-temperature objects, including flames, which can be extinguished by the liquid of the insect corpse.
This insect jade itself has many strange characteristics and has always been a legendary mysterious substance, which is extremely rare.
Ancient people believed that this kind of life-like strange stone had an evil soul attached to it, and emitted a large amount of black mist that was as thick as solidified. After the black mist, all nearby substances that exceeded a certain temperature were corroded into pus.
Once the corrupt jade is placed in the tomb, it is the most dangerous mechanism. Tomb robbers who are not prepared and hold torches will often die of misfortune.
There was a cult in ancient times that used the black fog emitted by insect jade to form a blurred outline of a multi-armed person, concreted the outline of the human head, creating a dark Buddha statue, claiming that darkness will eventually replace light, thus absorbing a large number of believers. Later, this religion was completely wiped out.
Since then, the already rare insect jade has disappeared from the world for a while. I didn’t expect to encounter such a terrifying thing here again today.
Even decades later, in 1986, foreign scientists rediscovered this strange stone that is rare in history in the ruins of Kamankarehoyuk in Turkey during a joint archaeological activity. As for why this black Buddha appeared in Kamankarehoyuk, it is not yet clear.
The seven tomb robbers who were shocked at the time were speechless in surprise. Looking at the so-called black monster in front of him, the monster slashed over like a ball of black fog and surrounded the seven tomb robbers!
