Upon seeing this, Wu Xie quickly got up and walked over there.

Soon, my brother and I saw what we didn’t want to happen.They found broken clay pots, and there were no shortage of them. There were about a dozen of them, and they had already been broken. The old man was pouring out all the contents and putting them aside.

The little brother kept stroking half of my little face, and I shrank in his arms, hugged him, grabbed his clothes and prepared myself for the unspeakable scenes I was about to see next...

I said to him softly: "Brother, these things will wander around when they come out. They are hidden dangers anyway. To be on the safe side, let the Qilin City team go over and deal with them. What do you think?" Seeing the little brother nodded, I I closed my eyes, sorted out the several solutions I had thought of, and packed them up in my mind. I waved my little hand behind my brother's back and sent them out with my spiritual power.

When Wu Xie approached them, he was hit by a strange smell that didn't stink or not. When he inhaled it, his throat felt spicy. He choked and felt very uncomfortable. He quickly covered his nose, and instantly felt as if he had inhaled sulfuric acid gas. , this sour gas is somewhat familiar, but I can’t remember it.

At this moment, Wu Laosi and the others looked at the things poured out of the jar with expressions of disgust and surprise. Among the black dried mud crumbs, there was a ball of earth covered entirely with mud, with many black hairs sticking to the surface. …

I knew this was the nest of human heads of the Corpse King that my brother was talking about. I grabbed him and said quietly: "Brother, the Queen Mother of the West Queen Mother of the West really does whatever it takes to live forever. This is the same as in the myth of the Central Plains, next door to our Qilin City The Queen Mother of the West in the neighbor's house is like a heaven and an earth... But I have heard that there are precedents of practitioners expelling their evil thoughts from the body in order to improve their cultivation... I think this one in your world looks like that one. Get rid of that." Although the little brother didn't respond, he looked at me calmly, stretched out his other hand and scratched my nose.

Wu Xie felt a little nauseous after looking at the thing. Moreover, when he looked at the earthen ball, he felt that something was wrong no matter how he looked at it, so he got closer and took a closer look. Suddenly, a feeling of suffocation came over him. He found that where was the thing? They were earth balls. They were human heads wrapped in dry mud. The black hairs on them were the hair on the human heads. I couldn't help but shudder.

At this time, many people gradually gathered around to watch the fun. The Tibetan drivers also came over because they had never seen these things before and felt curious.

The old man put on his gloves, picked up a human head and was cleaning the soil on it. He was still muttering: "This thing is very old. Although the skin and flesh have rotted away, the hair is still very strong." He carefully broke it off. The soil above was removed, revealing an ancient skeleton with dry skin and hollow eyes.

I whispered: "Brother, the main functions and characteristics of bronze, meteorite jade and meteorite iron are: bronze is inhibition and hallucination, meteorite jade is inhibition and transformation, meteorite iron is inhibition and toughness. This inhibition should be aimed at corpses The toxins from the King of Corpses inhibit the transformation of corpses. If they are used to make a hard shell, they can also seal the King of Corpses inside and prevent them from coming out, right?"

The little brother replied: "Yeah"

"But this head is covered with dried mud. It can't last long. He broke it off and cleaned it up. Isn't this the same as digging his own grave... knowing full well that people like them may soon They will die, maybe they are indeed included in the book of life and death in the neighbor's house next door, but seeing it like this makes me feel uncomfortable..."

The little brother said: "A person's destiny cannot exceed the upper limit of fate."

"Are you secretly talking about yourself again? I don't know whether they will survive, but you still have me. After all, I am also a unicorn, an auspicious beast. Can't I help you a little? Am I that bad? It's just a little weaker.

I have learned before that the "fate" in "fate" is the "determined number", and the "luck" is the "fate".

The counterpart of this "fixed number" is "variables", but variables will have an effect on the fixed number. If a person's variables are like theirs, his upper limit and lower limit will naturally decrease at the same time.

But if a person's variables are blessed, then the person's upper and lower limits will naturally increase at the same time.

What does it mean to "do no evil and do all good." We all do good deeds, and if something has not happened yet, we can still try to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. Don't think too much and don't be so pessimistic. After saying that, he blinked and looked at him. After being stunned for a moment, the little brother suddenly said: "What a clever little guy." "

A man wearing glasses on the side compared the diameter of the human head with the mouth of the jar and said: "The size of this skull is larger than the mouth of the jar. Obviously the human head cannot fit into the jar."

Wu Xie asked: "Then what's going on?"

The man also told Wu Xie about the strange tradition of head sacrifice of the Xiwangmu tribe.

A person next to him couldn't help but exclaimed: "Damn, this is too evil. The Queen Mother of the West in our Journey to the West is quite kind, not so vicious."

Someone said: "The amiable Queen Mother of the West is the Queen Mother of the Central Plains. The real Queen Mother of the West in ancient legends is a ghost-like thing, not a person at all. At that time, the rulers relied on these weird and cruel mystics. rituals to exaggerate one’s own supernatural power to rule.”

Wu Xie asked: "Then why is this head placed in this jar? Why bother to chop it off?"

Wu Laosi said: "There are many tribes in the Western Regions who believe that after death, the soul flies out of the eyes or ears, and beheading the person in a clay pot is to trap the person's soul in the clay pot. , it is meaningful to offer sacrifices in this way. After the sacrifices are completed, these heads are usually piled together and fed to things like crows, or thrown into the sea to feed fish. This is the same in the Central Plains. We call it Guitou Keng, Yanxia, ​​Yixian County, Hebei They all have a "head pier", similar to this."

Wu Xie felt very uncomfortable in his neck after hearing this. Sometimes he couldn't understand why the ancients came up with such cruel things.

Someone asked: "But his head has been stuffed into this kind of clay pot since he was a child. How does he usually live?"

Afterwards, they talked about what the life of these slaves was like. One person said: "Don't mention it, the life of these sacrifices is quite superior. Those who are chosen as sacrifices generally eat food for the gods. Food is the best food for the entire tribe. He usually doesn't need to do anything. As soon as he reaches sexual maturity, the most beautiful girl will mate with him in order to conceive the next generation of sacrifices. In order to make his neck grow thick enough as soon as possible , they would restrict the activities of the sacrifices, and some people were so fat that they were strangled to death by the mouth of the clay pot before they reached age."

Another person said: "Compared to other slaves who work hard outside and may not even live to be 30 years old, he lived comfortably for more than ten years and then died happily. , maybe it’s a good choice.”

The man touched his chin: "That sounds good. I'm not interested in eating, but I am interested in the most beautiful girl. If I am a sacrifice, I won't eat anything to keep my neck from getting thicker, and then I can …”

Before the man finished speaking, the Tibetan drivers made him laugh. Wu Xie slapped him on the head and cursed: "What the hell are you thinking about?"

Everyone laughed for a while, and Wu Laosi began to wash the skull with a solution. This was archaeological work, and it was pointless for a few people to watch around. Someone clapped their hands and told them to go back to work, prepare for the retreat, and repair the skull. The car owner should have his car repaired.Get ready and go.

However, before the person could walk away, suddenly, everyone heard a strange sneer, which came out from the crowd very clearly.This was the first time I heard this weird sound and I asked him: "Brother, is that a smile?"

The little brother shook his head and just said to me: "It happened before."

Wu Xie was so familiar with this voice that he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.But when he saw those people stopped, looked at each other, and their expressions, Wu Xie realized that this was definitely not an auditory hallucination, but someone was laughing weirdly!

Then, the sneer sounded again. They all looked along the sneer and found that the sound came from the pile of heads piled on one side.

Wu Laosi was so frightened that he dropped the human head in his hand to the ground.At this moment, several people suddenly jumped up and screamed. Someone shouted: "Look, the head is moving!"

I said in my heart, it's over, everyone has woken up, but I don't understand why the corpse dragon king here has a sneer-like voice. All I have heard and seen before are "squeaking" and "clucking".

I asked: "Brother, can the Corpse King record people's memories?" The brother looked at me, and I said to him, "These things are offerings to the Queen Mother of the West, and they are also the test subjects of the Queen Mother of the West. She is for It's her own immortality or rebirth. The bugs inside are all carefully cultivated by her. If the sound is laughter, then at least one of them has the memory of the Queen Mother of the West. If this one escapes, if it can't die, it doesn't seem to be a good thing. ah."

The little brother frowned and said nothing. He saw my eyes turning golden and twinkling. I said to him: "Brother, the video is going to be turned off. I want to lead them. They have arrived. Don't worry. They will try their best to save people. Among those bugs, the ones who can only laugh are probably tricky. Xue Feng and Chi Yan will keep an eye on those bugs and destroy them at the right time. Li Yue and Bai Hao stare at those panicked ones. People, Liyue will locate me here to guide them, and they will never be discovered. It’s just that Wu Xie can’t keep an eye on him for the time being, but he has Qilin blood, and the Corpse King is useless to him. As long as he doesn’t run around, no Something will happen."

I saw that the soil was gradually cracking open on a human head in the pile of skulls, and the head kept shaking, as if it was alive.Where the soil cracked, it suddenly broke open with a "snap", and two small blood-red bugs crawled out, each one only as big as a fingernail.

Wu Xie felt that he looked very familiar at the first glance, and then his head buzzed and his heart skipped a beat. He felt unbelievable and could not believe his own eyes. He blinked hurriedly. When he took a closer look, he was suddenly frightened. His soul was in a state of disbelief, and he cursed secretly in his heart, there is actually a worm king here!His feet became weak and he rolled back a few steps.

What made him feel suffocated was that he saw two, three, four, and then a group of red bugs spurting out like a fountain from inside, crawling everywhere in an instant. yes.

Someone nearby yelled: "Holy crap, what kind of bug is this? I've never seen it before."

A Tibetan driver thought it was strange and walked over to take a closer look.Wu Xie yelled: "Don't be a fucking idiot! It's poisonous, stay back, don't touch it!"

However, just when the man turned back to look at Wu Xie, at the moment he looked back, a dragon king suddenly flew up with a "swish" and stopped on the man's shoulder. Wu Xie shouted: "No." !" However, it was too late. His conditioned reflex was to grab him. Just like Dakui that day, after screaming "Ah", he immediately retracted his hand as if he had been burned, and saw a wave of water. The rash spread quickly on his hands.He watched his hand quickly turn red as if it was melting. He was so frightened that he shouted: "Team doctor! Team doctor!" and fell to the ground.

People around him began to scream and retreat. Some people went to help him, and some ran to the team doctor's tent.But Wu Xie knew that the man was dead, so he rushed up to grab those who came forward, and shouted to others: "Don't touch him, you will die if you touch him! Don't be in a daze, quickly find a way to kill these bugs, wait until they all fly up We are doomed!"

After listening to Wu Xie's words, several drivers took off their clothes and went to shoot the bugs.But it was useless, the bugs quickly dispersed, few of them were beaten to death, and more crawled out.Soon two more people screamed.

In the chaos, Wu Laosi picked up a tool box nearby and smashed it at the head. The head, which had already melted, was completely shattered with one hit.The cranial cavity of the entire human head was almost like a honeycomb, filled with gray eggs and bugs.

Wu Xie's back was covered in cold sweat as he looked at it. Now he felt that what the glasses said just now was not entirely correct. This human head was definitely not just used for sacrifice. It was simply a culture medium used to raise insects!Wu Xie thought that this kind of king bug was laying eggs in the human brain, and cursed: "Damn it, if this bug flies into the city, the status of the traditional four pests will be lost."

At this time, someone shouted: "Oh no! Other heads are also moving!"

There was already chaos on their side. Corpse kings made a "buzzing" sound in groups and flew up, with a red light... Several of them flew past Wu Xie's ears at once, scaring him. Shrinking his neck.

Immediately afterwards, more people around began to scream. Wu Xie turned around and saw Wu Laosi also fell to the ground, rolling in pain.

The place where the pottery pot was placed was blood-red, and the entire sand was covered with red spots.Countless cockroach kings have already taken off, and the surroundings are filled with the sound of wings.

Wu Xiexin said that a single King Craw could kill everyone here, not to mention ten thousand.How are these fucking sacrifices? They are clearly weapons. This thing was the atomic bomb at that time. If anyone is unconvinced and throws one into his city, the whole fucking city may die!

He hurriedly rushed to the tent and called to the people who were resting. Someone had already heard the noise and came out. Seeing him, he hurried over and asked him: "What's going on?"

Wu Xie yelled to stop asking: "Run for your life and wait outside at the car!"

Several Tibetan drivers carried the Caucasian people out of the tent. Tashi carried Dolma on his back and ran away without a trace.

Wu Xie felt a little relieved when he saw people running out one after another, and hurriedly ran to call Aning.

Aning had been awakened, and as soon as she stood up, Wu Xie rushed over and pulled her up and ran away. Aning broke away and asked, "What happened?"

Wu Xie shouted: "You can just run away and ask a question!" Before he could finish his words, a dragon king suddenly flew past his forehead with a "buzz", bumped into An Ning's shoulder, and rolled over. Stopped.

Aning looked down and was startled when she saw the insect. She reflexively wanted to swat it with her hand. Wu Xie grabbed her hand and blew the insect away with a strong blow. He pulled her up and ran away. go.
