Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen Corpse Silkworm

Zhuoxiong and Chaozi respectively tied up the people on their backs with climbing ropes, so that even if any situation happened, the unconscious people would not be lost, and they truly lived and died together.Cha Wenbin thought, if Pharaoh's consciousness is sober now, he would agree with him to do so. Cha Wenbin was still in the lead, and the two brothers were like his right-hand men at the moment, standing on both sides of him. Since there was no way out, they could only go against the trend, and they couldn't wait to die here. Walking through the bend just now, the scene in front of him made Cha Wenbin take a step back, Zhuo Xiong next to him couldn't help turning around and retching, and Chaozi also covered his mouth to keep himself from getting sick.

what did they seeI saw that the bronze coffin that was left just now had its lid opened, and the puddle that was originally covered with gravel was now completely white. What was even more shocking was that the "white" was moving, to be precise, wriggling.Countless white bugs came here from all directions. They rolled and entangled together. Their bodies were stacked on top of each other. They were so densely packed that they couldn't be seen clearly or counted. The coffins are getting closer, and they form a huge pyramid shape. The insects next to it are still climbing up the "tower", and some insects continue to fall from the "tower tip", and are instantly submerged in the sea of ​​insects below. The new ones continued to rush upwards, and in an instant, the "worm tower" was close to the top of the cliff.

A bug that crawled up to them was picked up by Cha Wenbin with his sword, and he took a look. This guy was as long as chopsticks, but as thick as a rolling pin. His plump white body was moving back and forth on the ground. Twisting it, turning it over carefully, you can see that there are countless thin feet on the abdomen, wriggling non-stop, which makes people feel hairy. What is even more frightening is that it has a pair of black pliers on its mouth, about five centimeters long. Cha Wenbin tried to pick up a branch on the ground to tease it. It snapped in two, and when I lifted it up, the cut was as smooth as if cut by a knife, enough to show the sharpness of its pair of pliers.

Zhuo Xiong pointed at the writhing worms on the ground, his heart was always hairy, and he finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother Wenbin, what the hell is this? Why is it so disgusting? I grew up in Sichuan since I was a child, but I never I've never seen a bug like this before." Cha Wenbin turned around and asked He Yichao: "Chaozi, you have been active in the wild all year round. What do you think this bug looks like?" Chaozi covered his mouth and was retching. When he heard Cha Wenbin ask him, he put down his hand: "I saw this thing once in Tibet."

Cha Wenbin frowned and asked, "Have you seen it in Tibet? Tell me about it." Chaozi pointed to the worm and said, "That was when I was a soldier. Once a herdsman in the Tibetan area lost his cattle and ran to the company to ask for help. Because Tibet has a small population density, there are many no-man's lands, and the herdsmen often When livestock are lost, they will come to the company for help when they can’t find them. We are the most particular about the military and civilian family, especially for these villagers in Tibetan areas. The company attaches great importance to this matter, because the cattle are important to For herdsmen, it means all their belongings. Without further ado, the instructor asked me and the deputy squad leader to ride a horse each and take the fellow to look for it.”

"Before we set off, everyone brought enough dry food and water, because similar things happened in the past, and it often took many days to find them. Not only the natural conditions in Tibetan areas are harsh, but there are also many ferocious animals. The three of us followed the footprints and feces of the cattle. When I walked to the foot of a snow mountain, I saw the footprints of a herd of cows, and it was up the mountain.” "Cows seldom go up the mountain unless they are being chased by wolves and are in a panic, so the deputy squad leader and I decided to go up the mountain to look for it, but the Tibetan fellow refused and insisted on going back. We were in a hurry Ah, you said that it’s all here, and there are clues, why don’t you go up and take a look? The fellow hesitated for a long time and we didn’t understand, so we decided to go up and take a look, because the People’s Liberation Army will help you, how can you give up halfway? When we go back, we can’t get along in the company anymore. Seeing that we insisted on going up, the fellow grabbed the reins and refused to let go. Finally, even beckoned and gestured, he finally understood the reason why he didn’t let us go.”

"In their eyes, there are many mountains and lakes with gods, and this mountain is not only the sacred mountain in his eyes, but also the place of sky burial!" Cha Wenbin interjected: "Sky burial?" "Well, sky burial, you ask Zhuo Xiong about this, he also stayed in Tibet." Cha Wenbin looked at Zhuo Xiong, and he nodded at Wen Bin: "I also heard that there is indeed a sky burial there." "Oh? What kind of burial is that?" Chaozi went on to say: "As for the celestial burial, the celestial burial master chooses a place, usually on the top of the mountain, turns the corpse to the sky, breaks the limbs, and tears the skin at the center and shoulders of the corpse to expose the muscles. Flocks of goshawks came down to cover the sky, competing to peck at each other. When the body was devoured and only skeletons remained on the celestial burial platform, the celestial burial master used stones to knock the skeletons into bones and knead them into balls, and the vultures would once again overwhelm the sky. And then, they didn’t leave until they were all eaten, and then the people around them began to kneel and prostrate.”

After listening, Zha Wenbin said: "We Han people actually have the kind of sky burial you mentioned. There is such a record about funerals in "Book of Changes Xici Zhuan": "In ancient times, the burials were paid with thick clothes, and they were buried in the wild. No sealing, no tree'. What is being said here is that people are encoffined after death, and they are directly discarded in the wilderness, neither buried nor coffined, and left to be eaten by wild beasts, you go on." Chaozi added: "We were both young and courageous at the time. We had been in Tibet for so long and wanted to do something practical, so we made gestures to our fellow villagers and said, "The cattle are lost, and here we are." On the mountain, if you don’t look for it, what will happen to your family’s life in the future? The mountain will be blocked by heavy snow soon, and if you don’t go up, the cattle will freeze to death, who will bear the loss?”

"That fellow in the Tibetan area really had no choice. All his property was left there, and he didn't dare to go up. After being teased by us for a while, he finally gave up and agreed to go up with us. The monitor and I were so excited. Needless to say, Jin. The road up the mountain is not easy to walk, so I can only lead the horse on foot. It took a long time to finally reach the top of the mountain. We saw a cow. The villagers said it was a leading bull, and the herd must be not far away, we have to find it before it gets dark, or we will get separated soon.” "Having not walked a few steps, we followed the footprints of the cow's hoofs to the back of the mountain, and saw the corpses of cows all over an area of ​​200 square meters. The fellow saw that all his cows died here, which is not bad. Holding a shotgun, I rushed over immediately. The deputy squad leader and I took a look, held the 'eight-one bar', pulled the bolt of the gun, and followed suit. When we got closer, we couldn't see any scars on the cows. In the distance, a few cows that fell on the ground were still panting there. All the cows had a common phenomenon: there was something wriggling on the belly of the cow. When the fellow saw this scene, he subconsciously backed away and said nothing. Don’t want to take revenge anymore, and dragged us down the mountain. The deputy squad leader and I don’t understand, this is such a big cow that died, why not only don’t you take revenge, but you are so busy going down the mountain? The fellow gesticulated with us Said there was a devil here, and these cows were sacrificed to the devil."

"At that time, the deputy squad leader and I were both materialists. Although we respected the beliefs of Tibetans, we still didn't believe in devils in our bones. Looking at the panting cows in the distance, they had stopped at this moment. Thinking about this time The fellow suffered heavy losses, and he was not convinced, so he wanted to understand. The deputy squad leader squatted down next to a dead cow, pointed to the wriggling belly and said to me: "Chaozi, look, this cow is dead." , Why is the stomach still moving?' I said, cut it open and have a look." "This kid was even more stupefied than I was. He pulled out the bayonet, squeaked it, and cut it open. A bunch of white bugs spewed out of it, and one of them bit the squad leader's bayonet. It was made of pure steel. , Later we checked, and actually left a tooth mark on the knife edge!"

"One of them crawled onto the monitor's calf, and he yelled 'ah' in pain. I quickly picked it up with a bayonet, but I couldn't get it off. In the end, he was cruel and grabbed the bug and pulled it hard. Guess what? What's the matter? Even a large piece of flesh was torn off." "Since seeing the worm, the fellow has called the devil in his mouth, led the bull, turned around and ran away, and ignored the two of us. I just finished bandaging the squad leader. I saw that the dead cows just now are now more than half They were all skeletons, and piles of white bugs surrounded the two of us. I swept a round of bullets and hit those bugs. Worm, in desperation, I could only run down the mountain with the deputy squad leader on my back. When I met the fellow at the foot of the mountain, he applied some herbal medicine to the wound on the deputy squad leader's leg. Before returning to the company, the deputy squad leader started Fever, coma and vomiting. The company instructor sent him to the Lhasa Military Hospital overnight. In the end, the doctor said that it was thanks to the little herbal medicine that he saved his life, but the deputy squad leader was amputated. He lost a leg forever. I remember the bug Just like it," Chaozi pointed to the one in front of Cha Wenbin, "exactly the same as it!" Cha Wenbin subconsciously took a step back, getting a little farther away from the worm, but the worm wasn't annoyed, twisted its fat body, and slowly crawled towards the companions in the middle. Zhuo Xiong looked at Chaozi's gritted teeth and asked, "If you were bitten by this bug, how could your monitor be amputated?" Chaozi went on to say: "I went to the hospital with the instructor that day. When I sent the deputy squad leader to the company, he was already unconscious. He opened his trousers and took off the bandage. There were three pieces of meat bitten off. Two heavy, a wound as big as a small bowl, has begun to turn black, although the weather in the Tibetan area is cold, but the smell can be faintly smelled. Only after taking off his clothes did he find that the skin of his whole body was purple-black. I Pulling the deputy squad leader and driving an off-road vehicle, he drove all the way to Lhasa and was sent directly to the emergency room." "When I told the story to the instructor outside, he couldn't believe that the company's training pacesetter and veteran who was about to be promoted would be bitten like this by a bug. But Tibet has never lacked mystery. The instructor told me not to tell this matter, it can only rot in my stomach." "One hour later, the doctor came out to discuss with the instructor and said that only amputation can save the life of the deputy squad leader. The instructor immediately went into a rage in the hospital. The deputy squad leader was sent back safe and sound. Later, this incident alarmed the head of the military region. Our instructor was a soldier under him at the time. Come up with a final plan." "When I was seeing a doctor for the deputy squad leader, all the hospital experts were dispatched. The consultation results were consistent with the previous judgment. Only amputation can save my life. When the instructor heard the news, he smashed the glass of the fire hydrant with his fist and almost cut off his tendons. .” "The doctor carefully checked the deputy squad leader's wound and found that he was not bleeding too much, but because his wound was covered with a kind of black filament, and these black filaments were rushing towards his body along his blood vessels. Drilling in, destroying his bodily functions, and the doctors were helpless after taking partial cleaning of this unknown black silk, because it was too much, and it was much thinner than ordinary hair, much like silkworms spit out The kind of silk, but this kind of silk is black and highly poisonous!" "Now the black silk has spread all over the base of the thigh. We temporarily tied the blood vessel with a tourniquet to prevent it from continuing to grow. After all, it is not a long-term solution. Once the time is too long, the blood cannot be circulated, and his thigh will still be necrotic. But If you leave it alone, the black silk will continue to develop, and if it reaches the internal organs, there is nothing you can do about it.” "The head of the military region took our instructor out to smoke a cigarette. A few minutes later, the instructor came in with red eyes. The head of the military region called the hospital leaders and asked them to arrange the operation as soon as possible." "Two hours later, the deputy squad leader was sent to the intensive care unit. The blackness on his skin had faded, and was replaced by a pale, pale pale with excessive blood loss. The operation was successful. According to the doctor in charge of the operation, the deputy squad leader was sent to the intensive care unit. The thigh that was cut off was full of that kind of black filament, which had even invaded his muscles and nerves. Fortunately, the operation was done in time, otherwise his life might not be saved. In addition to this inexplicable black filament, there is also a toxin Invasion, from the symptoms, it looks like snake venom, but the specific results can only be known after testing, and Tibet does not yet have this condition, he hopes that the chief can contact Beijing, and he will send the samples for testing.” "According to the doctor, the filaments and toxins in the deputy squad leader's body can kill him. Except that we sent it in time, the herbal medicine applied to the wound seems to have a certain inhibitory effect on the poison, so we can Save a life. The instructor asked me to go back and thank the herdsman." "Later, when the deputy squad leader was discharged from the hospital, I went with the instructor to pick him up. Since then, the deputy squad leader has been silent and stayed in the dormitory all day watching us practice outside. It is said that the instructor once wanted to keep him in the company , give him the position of Chief of the Logistics Department, and let the army support him for a lifetime. This plan was also approved by the head of the military region at the time, but the deputy squad leader is a stubborn man from northern Shaanxi. He said that he would rather go back to beg for food than stay in the army To be a useless person in the school, to eat and eat. For this matter, the instructor had quarreled with him more than once, and every time the two of them broke up, and then hugged each other and cried. I always felt that I was sorry for him. If I If it can prevent him from going up the mountain, maybe it will not be like this, but every time I talk to him, he always smiles and tells me that this is life! Two months later, the deputy squad leader chose to retire, and the army awarded him a Third-class merit. He was originally a top trainer and a pacesetter in the entire company, and he could stay in the team and be promoted, with a bright future. Because of this incident, his military career has come to an end." "After retiring from the army, the deputy squad leader returned to his hometown county. Because of the personal letter from the head of the military region, the local government also gave him a lot of help, and arranged for him to choose a few good public positions. He has a bad temper and refuses to accept other people's kindness. Later, he opened a small mutton steamed bun stall in his hometown. When I went to northern Shaanxi for archaeology, I met him once. Both of them were drunk. He Said that the last thing he regrets in his life is going to Tibet to serve as a soldier, even if the price he pays is a leg, he will not regret it." "After the deputy squad leader retired from the army, news came from Beijing that it was silk produced by an unknown insect. It was suggested that we provide living samples for them to conduct further research. On the same day, the company organized another large-scale gathering. The instructor led the team personally, and our platoon was armed to the teeth, and I led the way to the mountain." "When we arrived at the scene, we found nothing but a pile of ox bones and black silk threads wrapped around the bones. However, on the way down the mountain, a soldier found a black cocoon under a cliff , this cocoon is very big, similar in size to a cannonball casing. The instructor tried to poke it with a stick, but it was too high to reach, so he simply raised the "eight-one bar" and shot it with a "bang" The cocoon was knocked down, and after the thick black cocoon on the outside was smashed, a huge moth slowly spread its wings inside. After flapping a few times, it was even bigger than our military washbasin It scored a few points, and what's even more frightening is that after its wings spread, the pattern turned out to be a natural gossip pattern!" "At that time, everyone in our platoon was stunned. With the huge eight-diagram wings, the moth flew into the air. It was the instructor who was quick-witted, raised his hand and shot again, and hit it with a 'bang'. Come down. The moth's body and broken cocoon were sent to Beijing, and the news didn't come until before I was discharged from the army." "The report said that the ingredients contained in the cocoon were the same as the black filaments in the squad leader's body, and the gossip pattern on the moth's back, they thought it was a natural coincidence, because the pattern on the butterfly's wings It was originally colorful and varied. The report also said that the white bugs we encountered before should be the larvae of this moth. The larvae were transformed from pupae to molts and finally turned into this huge moth. They According to the study, this should be a brand new species, which is the first discovery. It is suggested that the company can provide more research information, because they suspect that the larval stage of this moth is carnivorous and can spit out black silk. The mucus of the insects is highly poisonous and can kill people. At that time, they called this kind of insects corpse silkworms for easy memory!" "Corpse silkworm?" Cha Wenbin asked. Chaozi looked disgustedly at the wriggling white pile in front and replied: "Yes, they say that this kind of insect is actually the same as the silkworm baby, but the silkworm baby eats mulberry leaves and spins silk, and is taken to separate the silk; This kind of insect lives by eating dead bodies, and spits out that kind of black silk to make its own cocoon!" Cha Wenbin thought of the piles of bones left in the pond, and the countless silkworms gnawing at the bones here, and he couldn't help but feel sick at this moment. Was this place once a purgatory on earth? After listening to Chaozi's narration, Zhuo Xiong felt sympathy for the squad leader, and at the same time began to have difficulties. Now that he knew how powerful this kind of bug was, there was no way to retreat, so what about the front?Is it possible that I want to feed the bugs and become their snacks?Thinking of how he was being eaten by bugs, he couldn't help but step back and vomit. Chaozi's words were like a ladle of cold water poured on everyone's heads. I thought this place should be a powerful institution or a vicious ghost, but now?It caused a bunch of inexplicable corpse silkworms.Back then in Tibet, a single corpse silkworm almost killed the squad leader, but now here, at a glance, there are probably no fewer than ten thousand silkworms.Now there are only five people in total, and the two wounded and sick are still in a coma at the moment. No matter how powerful the three of them are, if they want to pass the road guarded by such evil insects, it may not be enough for them to squeeze their teeth.Cha Wenbin was already in a hurry, but fortunately, those bugs didn't seem to be interested in the living people like them. They just played arhats there, but if they stepped over these bugs, no one could guarantee that they would not be caught by them. Take a bite out of one or two of them. It's neither advancing nor retreating. Now they are really caught in a dilemma. Cha Wenbin never thought that he would be buried in such a place. If he was eaten alive by these bugs, it would be more refreshing to kill himself! Chaozi has no idea now. He has seen the power of this bug with his own eyes. He can only hope that Zha Wenbin can figure out a way: "Brother Wenbin, what should we do now?" Looking at the expectant eyes of the two of them, Cha Wenbin knew that in this team, he was already the absolute backbone. If even he was discouraged, what they were waiting for could only be death.Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not give up!He recalled the ins and outs of the whole incident, and always felt that there was something strange about it. From entering the village, to the disappearance of someone, to entering this ancient well, it seemed that everything was man-made. He felt that they had stepped into a huge trap. So what is the purpose of this person doing this?What is it about their team that is worth being used?Four men, one woman, just came here to find archaeological data, there is nothing special about it. No, an idea suddenly popped up in Zha Wenbin's mind. Originally, when they came to Mount Qingcheng, there were only three men and one woman, and Zhuo Xiong was just a guide who joined later. By the way, why didn't he remember this, who guided them here, who told them that there are stone men and stone horses here, and under what circumstances did Lao Wang and Leng Yiran disappear?Zhuojia! Cha Wenbin's eyes turned cold, and he turned his head suddenly, staring at Zhuo Xiong who was sitting on the ground.At this moment, Zhuo Xiong was staring at the corpse silkworms in front of him in a daze, but Cha Wenbin's eyes did not attract his attention! Cha Wenbin returned to his original gaze, looked at Zhuo Xiong and asked, "Brother Zhuo Xiong, what are you thinking?" After hearing Cha Wenbin's question, he turned his head: "Brother Wenbin, I was wondering why these bugs came out after that coffin was opened, if they appeared when we were still at the bottom of the pool, Then we probably don’t even have the bones.” Zhuo Xiong's simple self-talk made Cha Wenbin start to wonder again. If it was really arranged by the Zhuo family, then after Chaozi went down the well, Zhuo Xiong could not follow him down, just take the rope away and leave. It's over, why bother to come down and take this risk together.It seems that nothing can be explained, and I should be thinking too much.At this moment, Zha Wenbin felt a little guilty. It can be said that Zhuo Xiong was the only outsider here. If he didn't treat everyone as friends, he wouldn't have followed him.So who arranged it?Or maybe I was wrong at all, and all of this is simply a coincidence, or in other words, it is destined.Cha Wenbin didn't dare to think about it anymore, fighting with ghosts is not terrible, what is terrible is fighting with people! Cha Wenbin rubbed his face a few times, changed his usual expression, and said, "Brother Zhuo Xiong, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly." Zhuo Xiong stood up, pointed to the bugs in front of him and said: "I said, if these bugs are really coming to eat us, why didn't they show up earlier, or rush over now, we can't avoid them." Chaozi also said: "Look, those bugs seem to only want to climb to the top of the cliff, and they are not interested in us at all." Looking in the direction of Chaozi's finger, several insects were already very close to the top of the cliff, and they kept swinging there.An amazing scene happened: a corpse silkworm sprayed something from its mouth and shot it to the top of the cliff, and then more and more insects began to spray something.The bugs below did not even climb up anymore. A few bugs at the top were already rolling down at this moment, and the bugs below also started to retreat.Cha Wenbin took a closer look, and it turned out that what these guys were spraying was nothing but the black silk thread that Chaozi said. One end of the silk thread was stuck to the top of the cliff, and the other end was tightly bitten by the corpse silkworm, and the corpse silkworm hung itself in mid-air like this.After a rough count, there are actually hundreds of corpse silkworms hanging in the air at this moment, and the black silk threads they spit out are intertwined with each other, twisted into a strand of black silk thread, which is as thick as the climbing rope that Chaozi carried.Before Cha Wenbin had time to think about why they did this, a new scene appeared again. When the corpse silkworms below retreated to a certain height, the formation was stabilized again.Then another corpse silkworm started spraying silk, but this time the spraying place was not the top of the cliff, but those companions who were hanging in mid-air at the moment. Their original white bodies turned black after a while. The bugs in the air have been completely wrapped up. When the corpse silkworms above were completely wrapped in silk thread, the army of insects below started to retreat again, and then the second group of silk spinners were also suspended in mid-air. After reaching a certain height, there were new corpse silkworms. He started to spin the silk, wrapped the second group of companions, and let himself be hung below by the connected silk.Such a cycle of relay spinning reminded Cha Wenbin of a well-known story: monkeys fishing for the moon.The monkeys use the way their bodies are connected to each other to hang upside down from the tree until the last monkey touches the moon in the water.Then the approach of these bugs is surprisingly similar to that of monkeys fishing for the moon, except that the direction is reversed. The bugs first use their bodies to send their companions close to the top of the cliff, so that the top companion can stick the spit out black silk thread to the top of the cliff, and then use the body of that one as a connecting point to expand downwards. After a little time, they will form a rope made of insect bodies, vertically from the top of the cliff to the ground! After Cha Wenbin understood the reason, he said: "Chaozi, Zhuo Xiong, look, these bugs are building a bridge with their bodies, a bridge from the top of the cliff to the ground, at their current speed, it won't be long before this road The bridge will be completed, but I don’t know why these corpse silkworms did this?” Chaozi coughed dryly: "Brother Wenbin, you said they are building a bridge. Since it is a bridge, it must be for the convenience of whoever crosses the bridge. Otherwise, why build it?" Cha Wenbin smiled and patted Chaozi on the back: "Chaozi, you can always surprise me when I am confused. The purpose of building a bridge is to cross the bridge. Since there is a master who wants to cross the bridge, although now We don't know what it is yet, so let's wait and see, you two, prepare, if something comes out in a while, listen to my signal, and be ready to break that 'rope' at any time!" Zhuo Xiong raised the shotgun in his hand and tried to aim it: "No problem, this distance, one shot is enough!" Cha Wenbin gave Zhuo Xiong a thumbs up gesture, he really blamed him wrongly, otherwise with Zhuo Xiong's ability, if he really wanted to harm them on purpose, I'm afraid he would be gone long ago. The few people didn't speak, but watched the rope not far away get longer and longer. After a quarter of an hour, it was finally connected to the ground. The corpse silkworms below rushed to the surroundings like a tide, as if they had received an order. There is a wide road in the middle.The retreating bugs were all in the same posture, holding their heads up, as if welcoming the arrival of the "VIP".Chaozi saw the vacant path, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Wenbin, why don't we take advantage of this vacancy and rush over there now!" Cha Wenbin squinted his eyes and asked back, "Are you sure you can rush out before those bugs encircle you behind someone behind your back?" Looking at the solid stone walls around, Chaozi said: "If we wait here, even if we don't get eaten by insects, we will starve to death. It takes only a hundred meters to rush from here to the other side of the pool. Die, why don't we try it?" Cha Wenbin turned around and asked Zhuo Xiong again: "Brother Zhuo Xiong, what do you mean?" "I mean the same as Chaozi, instead of waiting to die, give it a try!" These two young men are really courageous, since they are not afraid, so what are you afraid of!Cha Wenbin bent over and asked softly, "Are you ready?" Zhuo Xiong and Chao Zi immediately put on the appearance of a 100-meter sprint, "Run!" Cha Wenbin shouted suddenly, and then jumped off the stone with a stride, and jumped into the original position of the pool.Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong in the back carried the unconscious Lao Wang and Leng Yiran on their backs, and jumped down immediately. Those corpse silkworms were obviously disturbed by these uninvited guests, and with a "whoosh", they surrounded the few people in the middle like a tide. Don't look at those chubby insects, but they crawled up very fast. From the moment Cha Wenbin jumped down, he had no intention of turning back. His human potential had been fully stimulated at the most critical moment. Like a gust of wind, he was the first to rush through the pool and reached the place where Lao Wang was just now. Lying position.Followed by Chao Zi, who was carrying Leng Yiran on his back, the two looked back, Zhuo Xiong, who was carrying the heaviest Lao Wang, fell behind, and a few bugs were about to approach soon, one of them bent its body and was ready Ready to attack, Chaozi raised his hand and fired a shot, with a "bang", the shot hit, a piece of corpse silkworm was swept away, and the splashed insect pulp covered Zhuo Xiong's clothes.Chao Zi hardly hesitated, ejected the shell, reloaded, and with a gunshot, another group of bugs were swept away.With guilt towards the squad leader, Chaozi vented all his hatred on these corpse silkworms. When the third bullet entered the chamber, Zhuo Xiong had already been pulled over by Cha Wenbin, and the group of corpse silkworms following him happened to be It hit Chaozi's bullet hole. "Bang!" The powerful shotgun bullets, shot at close range, directly blasted those few unlucky corpse silkworms into a pulp. The rest of the bugs obviously felt the danger of the attack of this modern weapon, the chasing bug swarm paused for a moment, and then rushed towards them again... Chaozi's fourth bullet was ready. They didn't have much ammunition when they came out this trip, about twenty bullets per person, but now is not the time to save.Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong opened fire at the piles of corpse silkworms rushing towards them at the same time, group after group of corpse silkworms were killed, and then a new group of silkworms rushed up, it seemed that they could not finish the fight. After firing a shot, Chaozi touched the bullet belt hanging around his waist, and said with a wry smile, "I still have two bullets left." Zhuo Xiong raised his hand and killed another group of corpse silkworms with a shot: "Haha, I still have three left, one more than you!" Cha Wenbin wielded the Seven Star Sword and killed one or two corpse silkworms rushing over alone, he knew clearly that this would not last long, looking at the boundless darkness behind him, he said: "Get ready to retreat! " The last bullet was fired, Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong exchanged glances, and began to retreat slowly. Suddenly, the group of insects closest to him began to retreat, and the one who was one step away from Cha Wenbin also turned his head and walked away. Climb back. Seeing those corpse silkworms crawling back, Zhuo Xiong laughed loudly at Chaozi: "Chongzi also knows the gun in Master's hand." "Haha, they're gone! They're gone! Brother Wenbin, we beat those bugs away!" Cha Wenbin's back was already drenched, but now he was leaning on his sword and panting there. He also wondered why the aggressive "corpse silkworm" gave up? Chaozi suddenly shouted: "Look quickly, what is that?" Looking up, the worm that had been chasing after it had retreated to the side, with its head held high, in the same posture as before, a giant corpse silkworm was crawling from the ground to the top of the cliff along the silk thread made of worm silk. ! This corpse silkworm is different from all others. The ones just now were white, but this one is not only several times its size, but also yellow in color, with patterns on its back!It is a corpse silkworm because the pair of pincers on the mouth are still obvious, but when opened, they are as big as the large scissors we use to trim branches.The whole corpse silkworm looks more like a python!It is a full two meters long and about twenty centimeters in diameter. Cha Wenbin murmured, "This should be the Corpse Silkworm King!" Chaozi raised his gun and was about to shoot, but was stopped by Cha Wenbin: "Don't move, let's see what it is going to do!" I saw the yellow corpse silkworm king climbed to the top of the cliff in a short while along the silk thread, dancing its pincers excitedly, poking its head there. After a while, it went up and disappeared from everyone's sight. Silkworm was still in the same posture as before, as if waiting for something. Zha Wenbin thought that such a large formation could not be because of a bug. Since it has come, he has to figure it out and see what is going on. Even if he wants to retreat now, he is sure. They could clearly hear a rustling sound, followed by a huge black shadow falling from the top of the cliff. With a "boom", a huge bronze coffin lid fell to the ground, smashing many rocks below! Chaozi shouted, "Is that a coffin lid?" Cha Wenbin covered his mouth and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, wait, it looks like there's still a coffin on it!" Chaozi gritted his teeth and muttered: "These tomb robbers are actually doing damage here! Brother Wenbin, why didn't we find that there is still a bite on it?" "The eight trigrams produce the nine palaces, and everything returns to the ten directions. I should have thought that there is a tenth coffin here. If I read correctly, I have already understood about this pool, and all of this has returned to Yuanji." Zhuo Xiong was already puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, why did these insects retreat and a corpse silkworm king ran out again?If his personality was the same as Chaozi's, he would just kill the big bug with one shot and run away. "Brother Wenbin, what do you mean?" Zha Wenbin said: "The beginning of all things is the end of all things. If we can bypass the end point, we will return to the starting point. It's just that ordinary people find that there is no way after reaching the end point. The only thing waiting is death. If If you can cross this point, then everything will return to the starting point, that is, rebirth! This is what Taoism calls Yuanji. The people who set up this formation have used the Tao to the point of perfection. If this is true, then the tenth mouth The person lying in the coffin is probably alone." Chaozi asked, "Human? Brother Wen Bin, you mean to make such a big commotion just to bury a person?" "That's right. The ancients believed that people could be reborn. They believed that as long as they bypassed the point of death, everything would return to the starting point, that is, rebirth. Let's not worry, let's see what that bug does." 一根烟的时间之后，那只尸蚕王又顺着丝爬下来了，比起之前，它的肚子明显地鼓起很多，所以连动作都没之前迅速，等到爬到地面之后，它昂着头看了一眼查文斌，仿佛在思考什么。查文斌边上两杆枪都已经瞄准了它的脑袋，只要它一动，扳机就会毫不犹豫地扣下去，可是那虫子看了片刻之后，居然朝着边上的小尸蚕动了动嘴边的钳子，然后朝着乱石堆里钻了进去，边上那些尸蚕也跟着一起钻了下去，消失得无影无踪，刚才还组成线的尸蚕也紧跟着脱落，留在地上的除了凌乱的黑色丝线，再也没有其他。整个暗河又恢复到了之前的安静。 在确定那些尸蚕都已经走了之后，卓雄和超子才放下手中的枪，查文斌开口说道：“走，我们过去看看！”说着朝着中间的位置走了过去，后面的两人只好也跟着上去，大家都很好奇查文斌口中的第十口棺材里到底装的是什么？那只虫子刚刚又上去干了什么？
