Passing through those dilapidated buildings, everyone had a heavy feeling lingering in their hearts. Tang Sancheng said: "It can topple the entire city underground, and the layout here should be the same as before. It's just that the houses have collapsed. Nature
The power is incredible.”
"I was wondering what caused the residents of the ancient country to disappear later." Bai Yi said: "It was probably the plague."
"Well, I also have this idea." Shi Wenbo said: "Plagues have been recorded in ancient China. The earliest records were probably in the pre-Qin period, and all the way to the Qing Dynasty, there are relevant records. Almost every time, the damage was considerable. As for
There are many more devastating plagues recorded in the world."
Swinburne said: "The most famous one is the devastating plague in Athens. A disease more than 2,400 years ago almost destroyed the entire Athens. For more than a year, the citizens of Athens lived in a nightmare, surrounded by strong and healthy people.
Young people would suddenly develop a high fever, congestion in the throat and tongue, and an unusually foul odor. The unfortunate patient sneezed, had a hoarse voice, and suffered chest pains from a violent cough. A doctor discovered that fire could prevent the epidemic, thus saving Athens.
"
"What about the Tang Dynasty?" Lei Zi asked in a rare deep voice.
"Of course there will be plagues, the Black Death, plague, smallpox, influenza, etc., which can kill people quickly," Shi Wenbo said: "From the little girl's description just now, I can't tell which one it is.
It's such a pity that she can't speak. Now we just have to see where she takes us and whether anyone can restore the scene at that time."
At this point, everyone realized that they had gone a long way, and the little girl had no intention of stopping. Bai Yi patted her shoulder and pointed ahead: "How long do we have to go?" The expression on his face matched hers.
After making gestures, the little girl seemed to understand. She kept saying "Ahhh" and gesticulating with her fingers, as if to say that she was about to arrive.
It was indeed coming soon, but instead of a house, it was a huge cave. There were steps going down on the edge of the cave. The little girl was the first to go down. She turned back and waved for everyone to follow her. Tang Sancheng was a little hesitant.
He got up, because it was so dark down there that he couldn't see clearly at all: "There won't be any traps down there, right?"
"Only the devil knows." Lei Zi spat: "I'm here now. Besides, I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf."
"Go down." That's what Bai Yi meant. Everyone followed the girl down. Shi Wenbo said, "Are they the legendary Ghost Cave tribe?"
The Guidong people have heard Shi Wenbo mention before that the Jingjue country is actually a multi-ethnic country, dominated by the Guidong people, and there are other ethnic groups. There are very few records about the Guidong people, only the Jingjue country.
The last queen was a member of the Guidong tribe, and there is no record of their living habits, customs, etc.
"You wouldn't say there is a hole here, so you said she is from the Guidong tribe, right?" Lei Zi said, "Is there a connection if there is a hole in the name?"
"This..." Shi Wenbo also felt that this logic of thinking was not very cautious: "This really doesn't make much sense. I'm just talking casually. I won't know until we wait."
Suddenly a bright light appeared below. The little girl was very excited when she saw the bright light. She suddenly turned around and spread her arms to block everyone's way. Bai Yi didn't understand what she meant. She led everyone over but didn't let everyone pass. The little girl
Waved his hand, pointed below, and then pointed at himself, Shi Wenbo understood: "She means that she wants to go down first, and then take us down. It seems that she is going to ask someone for instructions."
"Damn, this is really troublesome." Lei Zi was a little irritated.
"This is their territory. We are not intruders now, but guests." Bai Yi said, "Don't forget, we need their help to find the Lingxi Fruit."
"I just wanted to ask, why are you looking for this spiritual fruit?" Shi Wenbo said.
"Make a medicine introduction." Tang Sancheng replied succinctly.
"Actually..." Shi Wenbo said: "For the plague, modern medicine believes that traditional Chinese medicine is the best treatment method, and ancient treatment methods are also based on Chinese herbal medicine. In this way, Bai Yi's guess about the plague is
It may be correct. The snake trainers took the Lingxi fruit originally to train the snakes, but it is entirely possible that the Lingxi fruit was a panacea and had a therapeutic effect on the original plague, which allowed them to survive."
"It makes sense." Lei Zi looked at Professor Shi with admiration: "No wonder it's Professor."
Shi Wenbo was a little embarrassed after being praised by Lei Zi: "Actually, it's just some logical thinking."
At this moment, the little girl suddenly appeared. She waved to everyone. The darkness behind her was still there. Bai Yi said: "You still have to be careful and beware of scams."
Bai Yi walked at the front and walked towards the little girl. As he got closer, he saw a shadow behind the girl. He couldn't help but become suspicious. He touched the gun and heard a voice: "You guys
Is it an intruder?"
Standard Chinese, Bai Yi was very happy: "Can you speak Chinese?"
The shadow suddenly became brighter. He held a lamp in his hand and illuminated his face clearly. It was a woman with the same pale face. Her facial features were very similar to that of the little girl. She was a pair of sisters.
, Bai Yi said: "We have no malicious intent, we broke in accidentally."
The little girl suddenly turned around and looked at the woman pitifully, her eyes full of pleading. The woman touched the little girl's head: "It's always easier to deceive a child's trust. You just gave her a few pills."
It’s just sugar.”
Bai Yi felt guilty and was speechless for a moment. Shi Wenbo behind him said: "Strange, why can you speak Chinese?"
Tang Sancheng suddenly heard a rustling sound, and he pulled Bai Yi: "Bai Yi, something is wrong around here."
Everyone shined their flashlights around, and the sight in front of them made their hair stand on end - in this moment, countless snakes were climbing on the earth wall, spitting out snake bites, looking like tigers with eager eyes!
"It's this move again." Lei Zi was a little indignant: "When I go out, I must catch 800 snakes and eat them, otherwise I won't be able to get this angry again."
"Don't move. My sister's snake training skills are not one-tenth as good as mine. You must have learned the lesson just now." The woman's voice was as cold as coming from hell.
