Ghost Blowing Lamp II

Chapter 59 Mask
Lao Yangpi's language expression ability is limited, and he speaks upside down, the fat man and I are confused, but we finally understand his meaning. In Lao Yangpi's hometown, there is a piece of sandy land, and this area is dry There is little water, but the soil in the middle of the sandy land is indeed very wet and gloomy. It has been said since ancient times that it is a place for raising corpses, and the corpses can be buried there to keep them alive. In fact, there are some strange plants growing in that land.

It is said that this kind of plant was introduced from Yuansha City thousands of miles away from the Western Regions in ancient times. It is extremely poisonous, and its whole body resembles a human body. , It itself has nothing to do with ginseng. The mainland does not have an accurate name for it. It is only called corpse ginseng or ghost ginseng. When returning to the country in ancient times, it was called "Abulu".

This thing breeds in the dark and rotten soil. Some tombs eroded by moisture, or ancient riverbeds with silt accumulation are very suitable for its growth. Its roots can go deep underground for several feet. It is said that it is a plant, but it can stretch its roots. It must be strangled for food, just like a huge man-eating plant. If you dig up the ground and dig out this plant, no matter whether you are a human or an animal, once you touch its poisonous gas, you will undoubtedly die.

Most of the methods adopted are to dig four soil ditches around it after confirming the location where the abulu grows. , Even the upper part was completely sealed. Before the sealing, a few vicious dogs were locked inside, and then it was completely sealed with grave bricks to form a secret room.

The vicious dogs locked in the brick room have difficulty breathing, and after a burst of growling, they instinctively dig the mud with their paws, trying to dig out the ditch. Once they dig out the poisonous plant, the vicious dog If infected with poisonous gas, you will die immediately.

There is also a way to directly tie the dog's legs and poisonous roots together with a leather strap, and the person hides in the distance of the upwind and runs away with the whip, and the dog will uproot when it is frightened and flees. Although this method saves time and effort, it is not safe. , often cause the excavators to be poisoned and die, so it is not as widespread as the first method.

After the "Abulu" returned to the country was unearthed, it will not be long before it loses the nature of the soil and its toxicity will disappear. They were buried together in the pit, and when they were dug out a year later, the dog carcass and the roots of "Abulu" grew together. Although the carcass was rotten and smelly, it could still wriggle like life in a place without sunlight. Cut it open and let it cool in the sun. If it is dried, it can be sold as a very expensive medicine.

Using a little rubbing wine can paralyze the whole body of a person, as if he was in a half-dead state. Even if his hands and feet were cut off with a knife and an axe, he would not feel anything. It returned to normal. It is said that in ancient times, Hua Tuo was able to open the intestines and open the abdomen to treat diseases. He used this anesthetic, and there are records of using it in the Imperial Palace Hospital in the Song Dynasty.

Lao Yangpi was in his hometown in the northwest, and he saw someone dug up this humanoid poison when digging wasteland and shoveling graves. That time, he dug up a long string of dead bodies, all of them were villagers who were killed by passing nearby at night unintentionally. After the person is trapped, the toxins are transferred into the corpse. Although the deceased is dead, the dead corpse is like a corpse. The hair and nails are still growing, and it has been nourished by Yin Qi for a long time. Live humans and animals will become part of the nutrients of this strange ginseng after being poisoned to death.

We figured out the situation of the brick room, and it seems that it was specially built by devils to cultivate nerve-numbing drugs. According to legend, the zombie meat buried in the mortuary is called "Muffle Fragrance", which can be used as medicine. These have almost grown into Plant carrion is also a strange medicine, but its cultivation method is really outrageous.

I was just about to ask Lao Yangpi, if there is any way to completely eliminate this monster, otherwise it will not be the end after all if it blocks the door. , The fat man and I have been entangled with those rotting corpses for a long time, and a lot of stinky and unpleasant juices have been splashed on our bodies, and we may also be poisoned.

The fat man and I quickly looked at our bare hands. Our hands were mixed with too many things, and they were too dirty to see anything, but there seemed to be a layer of tiny bumps on the back of our hands, which felt slightly itchy. , there are no other symptoms for the time being, although I don't know if it is a sign of poisoning, but it is probably not a good sign.

The gnat poison Ding Sitian suffered from can’t be cured yet. I didn’t expect that the fat man and I also fell victim to it one after another. I feel very complicated, but one thunder is the top, and the two thunders are also resistant. If there are too many lice, don’t bite, and if there are too many, you don’t have to worry , This is already a messy situation, adding some troubles is not a big deal, the big deal is that the three of us will go to see Marx together.

Young people in our time did not have any complicated thoughts and feelings, and the education we received from childhood made us not know how to write the word "difficulty". Is there anything in the world that can make it difficult for revolutionary fighters?So I wouldn't take the big worry too seriously, I quickly put the worry about whether I was poisoned behind my mind, and asked Lao Yangpi if there was anything he could do.

Lao Yangpi shook his head and sighed, there was no other way, the poison that returned home would die immediately after leaving the soil, and after a while the yin energy dissipated, it probably wouldn't move anymore, now I can only imitate the land master and squat here to wait, but who knows No matter how long the root of the thing is, if there is still a part of it connected to the ground, we will be strangled and poisoned by it as soon as we go out.

Just when we were helpless, we suddenly heard a strange movement above our heads. The fat man and I raised the engineer lighting tube and looked up. At the junction of the wall and the ceiling, there were several narrow windows leading to the corridor. The demon ginseng outside the basement door The roots came through the window, trying to sneak in and attack, the fat man swung the knife to chop the roots that had already penetrated into the basement, only heard the sound of the leather bag being cut, putrefaction splashed where the knife landed, and corpse-like ginseng tentacles The roots quickly retracted again.

Only then did we discover that although the door and wall of this basement are strong, they are not tight, and there are many air holes and windows, which are easy for the other party to take advantage of. This basement seems to be a data storage room, and there are many similar files. The iron cabinet and wooden box for similar documents, the fat man and I pushed the iron cabinet to block all the gaps on the outside.

There is an extremely thick iron cabinet at the back of the room, which is the best defensive object, but no matter how hard the fat man and I push it, it does not move at all, as if it has taken root in the ground. The beam of light of the tube was adjusted, and the iron cabinet was carefully illuminated. It was suspected that there was a secret door here, which needed to be opened and closed. Most of our anti-special movies at that time had such plots.

The fat man and I speculated wildly, but this time it was really covered. When I followed the edge of the iron cabinet and moved the light to the corner, I suddenly saw a hole stuck between the iron cabinet and the wall. It was a human hand with dry and purple claws and animal hair. Like most of the corpses in this institute, it was caused by some sudden and unknown reasons. After death, due to the special environment near the Baiyan Cave This unusual sign of necrosis.

There seems to be a lot of space behind the gap stuck by the corpse, but I can't see it clearly with a lighting tube for a long time. Right now, the door of this basement is blocked by the corpse ginseng that has grown into one with the zombie. , if there is a passage behind this iron cabinet, maybe we can leave this secret passage, and this secret passage is built strangely, and we can't help but store what we need inside.

The fat man and I were convinced of this exciting guess. The fat man immediately groped around to find the mechanism to open the iron cabinet. I don't know, I took a breath to calm my emotions as much as possible, and my mind was spinning rapidly, thinking that the corpse stuck in the gap between the iron cabinet and the wall might be planning to escape into the secret room in an emergency, but because of his death Suddenly, as soon as he opened the disguised iron cabinet and entered the secret passage, he died immediately, instead of being trapped alive by the iron cabinet, but the iron cabinet that returned to its position automatically clamped his body.

Also, this research institute is heavily guarded. It seems that there is no need to create such a hidden secret door in an already very hidden underground facility, unless the space behind this door is a secret among secrets. It is very likely that even the Japanese army will study Most of the staff in the institute would not know that only some heads of the organization have control over the things inside. The body that got stuck after death should be the head of the devil's lair, but why is the arm of the dead body exposed on the ground? Outside, is this death posture normal?Was it not fleeing into it, but trying to escape from it?The secret room of this secret room...

My mind was rambling here and there, making random guesses. The fat man had already touched a protruding floor tile under a table. , He lifted it a few times and did not move at all, and then stepped down with his feet. The force of this pedal was not small, and the floor tiles sank by a centimeter or two. A narrow aisle, maybe because he used too much force, or maybe he stepped on the mechanism too far, the movable iron cabinet retracted into the wall, but it no longer automatically restored itself as I expected.

There is a secret door in this corridor, the door is wide open, and there is a larger basement in the depths. The fat man thinks that this secret room is used to store medicine and food, and he is impatient to step in. I hurriedly blocked it. At the entrance of the passage, he said to the fat man and Lao Yangpi: "Look at the zombie trapped in the passage, his head and arms are facing outwards. This posture probably indicates that the moment before he died, he was Escape from the secret room instead of hiding in the secret room for refuge, where..."

I had just finished speaking, when I heard a loud noise, the wooden chair at the top of the door was suddenly smashed into several pieces, Lao Yangpi who was sitting behind the door was taken aback, dragged Ding Sitian back in a hurry, I held up the lighting tube and looked over , I saw the iron door opened, and a strange face like an old woman poked in from the door. This strange-shaped plant was shaped like ginseng, but its shape was far more ferocious than ginseng. This time it was very real. The monster ginseng Its face is full of wrinkles, and the two huge bags under the eyes are particularly obvious. I think it is not so much a pure plant as it is more like a semi-organism that lives in the soil and survives by sucking the juice of corpses.

Not to mention facing its ugly and strange face, just smelling the damp and smelly graveyard smell on its body already makes people feel scalp swollen and faint, and now we have to step back step by step, Lao Yangpi and I set up Ding Sitian, and the fat man slashed the tentacles that kept coming over with a long knife. The four of us were forced to retreat into the secret room behind the iron cabinet.

I was worried that the fat man would be killed alone, and I didn't care to see the surrounding environment clearly after entering the secret room, so I handed Ding Sitian over to Lao Yangpi, and then turned around to meet the fat man at the secret door, trying to close the secret door and block it. The coming of the demon ginseng, but in the panic, where can I find the mechanism inside the secret room.

In desperation, the fat man pushed the zombie in the aisle out, and one of the tentacles of the demon ginseng immediately wrapped it in the dense roots. We found all the things we could find and put them behind the door. Only then did we realize that there were some large cabinets with specimen bottles everywhere in this hidden huge secret room. We knocked down many glass bottles containing human organs and strange-shaped objects. The dead animals flowed all over the floor, and a strong smell of antiseptic potions suddenly emanated from the basement.

As soon as we were in a hysterical rush, our bodies were close to collapse. Seeing that the door was temporarily blocked, my tense spirit relaxed a little, and I suddenly felt that there was no root under my feet. The wound on my shoulder hurt unbearably. There is a place to sit down and take a breath. There is a stone platform behind me. In the dark, I sat on it without looking carefully. The cold, concave-convex metal object was a metal mask in the shape of a human face when I touched it casually. I was startled, and immediately remembered the corpse of a Xianbei woman wearing a mask on the mural. On the stone platform like the dissecting table, there was indeed a female corpse in ancient costume lying with a gold mask on her face.

The fat man and Lao Yangpi also noticed something different, and they both came to watch. The invisible deterrent force from death made us tremble all over. Maybe I was dazzled for a moment, when the light of the illuminating tube moved, the mask of the female corpse seemed to be revived by the flowing light. The face on the mask, which was originally calm and solemn, seemed to be facing us He started to move violently.
