"Corpse-scented konjac. Corpse-scented konjac is a strange flower that grows on corpses in coffins made of Kunlun sacred trees. It can confuse people's minds and cause hallucinations. This devil's flower, with its alluring color and strange fragrance
, create another
A trap composed of illusions lures people to death. Of course, this is just a legend." Bai Yi said: "For those of us who fight upside down, the corpse-scented konjac can protect the corpse and make it have a
A light fragrance.”
This was exactly what Tang Sancheng saw. He opened his mouth wide and said, "It's really like that. That female corpse seemed to be asleep. Just now... just now..."
"What just happened?" Qixie asked nervously, "You weren't injured, were you?"
"I was holding her in my arms just now." Tang Sancheng said carefully, "Is this okay?"
"If the corpse is not transformed, then there will be no corpse liquid, and there will be no corpse poison, so there will be no serious problems. Moreover," Bai Yi came closer and looked at the woman's face: "She was still a beauty during her lifetime, so you can take advantage.
Already."
Tang Sancheng was speechless by Bai Yi's remarks. He told him how he got down, and mentioned that the blind snake was chained and led the way for him. Bai Yi's expression changed.
Change: "You said that snake was chained?"
"Yes, and its body is covered with bloodstains. It looks very painful. It seems that it is not aggressive, so..." Tang Sancheng shrugged: "But thanks to it, I came down here and met you. It
But he is my savior!!”
"What a bullshit benefactor!" Bai Yi said, "It's just looking for food for the corpse-scented konjac."
Tang Sancheng's heart dropped: "It's impossible, I saved it."
"Silly, silly." Bai Yi was so angry that he jumped to his feet: "Do you know why corpse-scented konjac smells so bad? It's because it relies on dead animals to attract carrion-eating beetles for pollination, thus maintaining its growth.
Life, smell it, does this smell sound like the smell of rotting flesh? This flower looks beautiful, but it is the most dangerous plant, killing people without being seen."
Tang Sancheng could smell the rotten smell a long time ago, and he stuttered when he spoke: "But...but the snake is chained up, so it has no attack power!!"
"Snake is hard to describe." Bai Yi glanced at Qixie, who had been listening silently, and continued: "In ancient mythology, snakes have wings, which is what we call
Like a flying dragon in the sky, if a snake wants to fly into the sky, it must shed its skin. This skin shedding is not the natural skin shedding we imagine, and extraordinary methods must be used."
Tang Sancheng's tongue was tied: "You...you're not talking about the iron chain, are you?"
"It's completely possible." Bai Yi said: "It seems that you were fooled by that snake. I guess you still think of yourself as its savior now."
Tang Sancheng was completely dejected: "Why do I always have an indissoluble bond with snakes?"
"Could it be that the person guarding this place is not the 'human' on the stone gate, but this snake?" Qixie said. These words made Tang Sancheng shudder. It was unbelievable that people could be manipulated by animals. Tang Sancheng was still a little conflicted.
, he scratched his head and looked up at the pool. Now that the pool was rising, the bottom of the pool was revealed.
"It's Taotie." Bai Yi said while looking at the patterns under the pool.
Taotie is an imaginary mysterious monster. It is a common decoration on bronzes. This monster has no body, only a big head and a big mouth. It is very greedy and eats whatever it sees. Because it eats too much, it is eventually killed.
It is a symbol of greed. It is the fifth son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. According to legend, it was one of the four evil beasts during the reign of Yao and Shun. The so-called "four evils" refer to the four ancient monsters - Taotie, Qiongqi, and Taotie.
and chaos.
Taotie looks like a sheep with a human face, eyes on the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, a pair of curved horns on its head, and a pair of wings on both sides, but it looks like a pair of huge ears. It looks very ferocious and emits
His voice is like that of a baby. He is gluttonous and extremely greedy. He is especially fond of eating meat and has become a symbol of greed.
Qiongqi is as big as an ox, and looks like a tiger at first glance, but has the fur of a hedgehog and wings. He makes a living by cannibalizing people. In ancient times, Qiongqi often flew to the scene of fights and would make a living.
If one's nose is bitten off, if someone commits an evil deed, he will be poor.
Instead, Qiongqi will give him birds and beasts as rewards, so he is also called the evil god who suppresses good and promotes evil. This Qiongqi is a person who cannot reason. He likes people who behave evilly and speak evil words. The more bad people do, the more evil they do.
The more he likes it, the sound his original body makes is like a dog.
Qiongqi is evil and unreasonable, but he is not as good as Qiongqi. He looks somewhat similar to Qiongqi. They both look similar to tigers in appearance, but are smaller in stature. They have a human face, tiger's paws and pig's paws.
He has teeth and a very long tail, which is as long as eight feet. His only characteristic is that he is fierce and stubborn. Of course, his nature is lighter than that of Qiongqi. Qiongqi is not only evil himself, but also instigates others to commit evil.
Chaos, it has a fat and round shape, like a pig, its whole body is as red as fire, it has four wings on its back, six legs, but no facial features, and a short tail, but this one is a bit strange, it obviously has no ears and mouth.
but can understand songs and dances
Le, ordinary humans can't see it or hear it. It often bites its own tail and giggles. It looks like an idiot. It doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. When it encounters kind people, it will become violent. When it encounters extremely vicious people, it will become violent.
Will obey his command.
The four ancient magical beasts were more like true reflections of human beings. The Taotie patterns under the pool in front of him were very terrifying. Thinking of the Blind Snake suddenly throwing away himself and leaving here, Tang Sancheng initially thought that the Blind Snake had noticed that someone else was coming, and hurriedly
He left, but now after listening to Bai Yi's analysis, he felt that there might be another mystery. For a moment, Tang Sancheng's mind became confused.
At this moment, the fireflies that were originally clinging to the wall suddenly flew up with a "buzz" sound. They gathered together and rushed towards Tang Sancheng and the others like an arrow. When the small fireflies gathered into a swarm,
At that time, they were not as petite and pitiful as before, but instantly turned into extremely aggressive insects. Tang Sancheng could already hear the "plop" sound when they flew!
In Tang Sancheng's impression, fireflies were such docile bugs. They had small lanterns hanging on their butts and flew around leisurely in the summer night, just like the old man. Such bugs are now moving so fast and violently.
This strong contrast left Tang Sancheng stunned.
"Get down!" Qixie roared, and Tang Sancheng woke up. The three of them moved in unison and lay on the ground with their heads in their hands. The fireflies passed over their heads and flew directly towards the corpse-scented konjac...
