I'm not immortal

Chapter 471 Folk Alchemy
After smelling the stench, several people stopped at the same time.

Wei Minghao had a surprised expression on his face.

"It shouldn't be!"

"I have been ventilating the tomb passage before. There is no way there is such a strong corpse gas in the underground palace."

Except for not going to the grave during this period, Wei Minghao basically did all the peripheral work he could do.

But the current situation actually slapped him in the face, which was even more unexpected.

Jiang Qi ignored Wei Minghao and took two steps forward quickly until he saw a lying corpse in front of the mausoleum door. To be precise, it should be a set of white bones.

All the flesh and blood on it had dissipated, leaving only the crystal-clear jade skeleton.

When they saw the bones, Gu Qishan and others were all stunned on the spot.

Archaeological work inevitably involves dealing with corpses, so Gu Qishan and others were not surprised because they saw skeletons, but because the skeletons in front of them were too new.

The new ones seem to be teaching molds for modern industrial products.

"These bones seem to be left by someone who died recently."

Jiang Qi looked at the bones in front of him, his expression becoming more solemn.

As soon as he said these words, he was met with rebuttal.

"How is this possible? If it's a person who just died, how could it be a white skeleton!"

Feng Ming felt that Jiang Qi's words were a bit ridiculous.

Jiang Qi didn't take it seriously, "Of course it's impossible if it's an ordinary event, but this is not an ordinary event!"

While speaking, Jiang Qi's eyes fell on a small insect lying on the ribs of the white bones' abdomen.

The bug looked no bigger than a knuckle.

Jiang Qi raised his hand and released a burst of flame, which fell directly on the insect, and soon a shrill cry echoed through the entire cemetery.

Gu Qishan watched the insect struggling and jumping in the flames. It was not until a long time passed that it finally died and made no sound, so each one remained silent.

By this time, if a few people haven't realized that there is something wrong with the bug, I'm afraid they really have a problem with their IQ.

Gu Qingyun's eyes were shining when she saw Jiang Qi's understatement.

Jiang Qi is very powerful, and Gu Qingyun naturally knows that.

But how powerful he is, it is rare to see Gu Qingyun.

This time it was a real eye-opener.

"Black Corpse Insect, this is a type of Gu Insect!"

Jiang Qi looked at the insect whose body was still left under the high temperature of the flames and said lightly.

"This insect seems to be no different. It will die immediately after being touched. However, the person who touches it will feel soreness and numbness in the arm half an hour later, then pain, and eventually die tragically!"

"That's because when you touch it, the thin and tough hairs on its body will directly pierce the skin of your palm and release hundreds of millions of insect eggs at the same time!"

"These eggs will follow the flow of your blood and quickly spread all over your body, and then they will hatch. After hatching, the black corpse insects will start a feeding frenzy. They will eat all the internal organs in your body, and even the hair on your brain!"

"Eventually they start to devour each other until one of them is left and will cling to the bones and sleep for a long time, waiting for the next... destined person!"

At the end of the sentence, Jiang Qi deliberately changed a word that was quite offensive, which made Gu Qingyun and others feel sick to their stomachs.

Feng Ming couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and huddled at the end of the team, not daring to show his head.

"Let's go, nothing can be seen from this white skeleton now!"

Jiang Qi said with regret.

I have to say that the black corpse insect is really a good thing for destroying corpses and eliminating traces.

He directly swallowed all the flesh and blood of the man. If you want to know the identity of this white skeleton during his lifetime, you may need more professional instruments.

"Everything depends on you, Jiang Qi!"

Gu Qishan directly handed over the command of the team, and it was only now that he was sincerely convinced by Jiang Qi.Jiang Qi didn't show any pretense, he was the first to continue walking to the mausoleum after speaking.

After entering the mausoleum, a huge sarcophagus appeared in front of everyone at the same time.

Gu Qishan and others' breathing also became rapid.

Several people took two steps forward almost subconsciously, but when they thought about their previous conversation, they all stepped back, with awkward smiles on their faces.

"It's okay here for now, but don't touch anything in the tomb!"

Jiang Qi used his supernatural powers to observe the surroundings, and after finding no special circumstances, he also informed several people in Gu Qishan.

After hearing this, several people began to walk around the tomb with confidence, and finally everyone gathered in front of the sarcophagus.

Gu Qishan looked at the carved patterns on the sarcophagus, his eyes gradually becoming obsessed, and he couldn't help but want to get started.

But when he was about to touch the sarcophagus, he was grabbed by Jiang Qi.

"Ancient, what I said before, why did you forget so quickly, don't touch the sarcophagus!"

Gu Qishan woke up as if from a dream, with a cold sweat on his face.

"Why...I'm out of control!"

Gu Qishan looked horrified. He had been working hard in the field of archeology all his life and had seen countless tombs. Although the sarcophagus in front of him was somewhat rare, it should not be so obsessed with him.

Jiang Qi was stunned when he heard this and looked around him again, and found that Gu Qingyun and others also looked obsessed.

At that moment, he secretly thought that something was not good, so he quickly pulled away and pulled all these people aside. After Jiang Qi's actions, several people who had been obsessed with them woke up at the same time, looking confused at what they had just done.

"What happened to us?"

Jiang Qi didn't answer. He directly raised his leg and kicked the sarcophagus. The sarcophagus jumped, dust fell off the surface of the sarcophagus, and a strange fragrance spread out at the same time.

Jiang Qi sniffed it, with a look of understanding on his face.

"It turns out to be Xi Ling Xiang!"

"What is Xi Ling Xiang?"

Gu Qingyun asked from the side.

"The so-called rhinoceros incense refers to a spice made from rhino horn mixed with more than a dozen precious herbs!"

"This kind of thing can fascinate the mind and confuse the five senses. It's extraordinary!"

Jiang Qi was talking, but he was filled with confusion in his heart.

Although this thing has wonderful effects, it is not fatal!
Jiang Qi frowned, looking around the sarcophagus again and again, and finally saw a square of blue bricks in the southwest corner, wrapped in white cloth, and three copper coins.

After seeing this thing, Jiang Qi's face immediately darkened.

"It's actually a series of tricks, what a cruel method!"

Jiang Qi snorted coldly, shot out his true energy in the air, and captured that square of blue bricks.

But the moment the green brick left the sarcophagus, a black shadow flew away from the sarcophagus and headed straight for Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi was well prepared and raised his hand to cut the black shadow open, causing the three copper coins to shatter into pieces.

Until then, Gu Qishan and others woke up from a dream.

"Jiang Qi, what is this?"

Gu Qingyun looked at the green bricks wrapped in white cloth at her feet and asked again.

"Suppressing technique!"

"Use spiritual items to gather the evil energy of heaven and earth to form an array. If you had touched the sarcophagus earlier and the evil energy had gone awry, you would be the ones who died now!"

But what made Jiang Qi even more curious was that this time his opponents used folk alchemy.

He had rarely encountered it before.
