Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 54
I was so frightened that my hair stood on end: "Is there really such a thing as Gu poison in the world?"

Professor Ye said: "Why not? In the thousands of worlds, there are as many things we don't know as there are stars in the sky! It's just that I only know that Gu poison is prevalent in southern Xinjiang and Southeast Asia. I didn't expect that there were also Gu poison in the Western Regions thousands of years ago. It exists! It’s amazing!”

"What should I do now?" I walked around the tomb and found that it was a completely closed tomb, and there was no other way out.The only way to leave here is to go back the same way, but the astonishing number of scorpions in the tomb passage is a gap that we cannot bridge.

Gu Meidi said: "What else can I do? Instead of staying here and being trapped to death, it's better to open the door of the tomb and give it a go!"

"But..." I hesitated to speak, thinking of the horrifying scene of countless poisonous scorpions rushing in, I felt terrified, and my scalp felt numb.

"No but!" Professor Ye agreed with Gu Meidi's proposal: "Maybe there is still a glimmer of life if you give it a go, but staying here is purely waiting for death! You two are lucky, you can still hold hands on the Yellow Springs Road, and you can go to Yan Luodian I can still be a couple of ghosts. I am a lonely old man, walking on the windy and sandy road to Huangquan, how lonely it is!"

Gu Meidi's cheeks turned red immediately, and she curled her lips and said, "Professor, what nonsense are you talking about, I... I don't want to be a ghost couple with him!" When he said this, Gu Meidi glanced shyly at She glanced at me and saw that I was staring at her, her face flushed even redder.

Professor Ye smiled: "I think you two are not in a good state of mind, so I'm joking with you! You must go out, but the poisonous scorpions outside are really difficult to deal with, so we can't force it, we have to think about it." A perfect strategy! While protecting yourself from harm, you can successfully escape from here!"

"A surefire solution?" I shook my head sadly, "It's hard! Once you get entangled by those poisonous desert scorpions, you will turn into a pile of bones in the blink of an eye!"

"I thought of an idea!" Professor Ye said.

Gu Meidi and I looked at Professor Ye eagerly, only to hear Professor Ye slowly say: "We can open the door of the tomb and let those poisonous scorpions in. The space in the tomb is large enough. Once a swarm of scorpions floods into the tomb, there will be Spread out, not as dense as in the tomb passage. In this way, we can seize the opportunity to rush out. Although there is still a certain risk, it is relatively safer than meeting the scorpion tide in the narrow tomb passage!"

Gu Meidi and I looked at each other, thought about the method proposed by Professor Ye, nodded and thought it was feasible.Judging from the current situation, this may be the best way to minimize the danger.

"I'm going to open the tomb door!" I volunteered.

"Let's go together!" Gu Meidi wanted to follow.

I waved my hand at her: "No need! I have a Luoyang shovel in my hand, so I can handle it alone! You don't have a weapon in your hand, once you encounter a scorpion tide, it will be difficult to resist!"

Holding the torch in my left hand, and the Luoyang shovel in my right hand, I came to the door of the tomb. The hands on the door of the tomb were still burning quietly, exuding a cold blue light.Glancing at the scorpion corpses on the ground, I sweated secretly in my heart, then puffed up my cheeks, and blew out the flames in the niche.

After a few seconds of silence, there was a dull rumbling sound, which made the soles of the feet numb slightly, and the heavy tomb door was slowly lifted.

The moment the tomb door rose, a wave of black water rushed in from under the tomb door frantically.I quickly backed away, then swung a few shovels indiscriminately, swept away all the poisonous scorpions rushing to the front, turned around and ran back to the main tomb.

The rustling sound soon filled the entire tomb, and more and more desert poisonous scorpions crawled in from the outside. It's like laying a black carpet on the floor of the tomb.The scene was so horrifying and disgusting that we retreated into corners, goosebumps dripping down our spines.

Perhaps it was the strong smell of blood wafting in the blood pool that attracted these blood-loving poisonous scorpions, and a large number of poisonous scorpions gathered towards the blood pool in the center of the tomb.Just hearing the plopping sound, these desert poisonous scorpions rolled into the blood pool in groups of three or four, and they continued to follow one after another.The blood-red pool water quickly turned black, and countless poisonous scorpions were swimming in the blood pool. The dense scene made the scalp tingle.

What is even more surprising is that these poisonous scorpions actually gathered in groups towards the golden Gu snake in the blood pool.Facing the invasion of the army of scorpions, the golden giant python, who was majestic just now, rolled and scurry in the blood pool in fear, making waves of water.Countless poisonous scorpions climbed onto the Gu snake's body, biting frantically.In less than half a stick of incense, the Gu snake was bitten beyond recognition by the scorpions, its white skeleton was exposed to the air, and there were still bits and pieces of flesh hanging from it.Half of the snake's head was gone, revealing the empty eye sockets, densely packed with poisonous scorpions crawling in and out of the eye sockets...

"Wow!" Gu Meidi next to her couldn't hold back for a moment, and bent over to vomit, but we didn't eat anything before, so she vomited acid water.

It wasn't until the Gu Snake was dying that we came back to our senses, mother, if you don't run now, when will you wait!
Before we didn't expect to receive such a miraculous effect after opening the tomb door, the scorpions all went to the blood pool, which naturally gave us room to escape.When I was about to leave the tomb, I looked back towards the blood pool, the Gu snake had turned into a pile of white bones, floating up and down in the blood pool.

The three of us staggered out of the tomb, and then blew out the fire outside the tomb. Accompanied by rumbles, the tomb door sank, sealing the blood pool snake coffin and countless poisonous scorpions inside the tomb.

In the dark tomb passage, our heavy breathing echoed, wheezing and wheezing.

We returned to the cellar above in shock along the tomb passage, only to find that our whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and our legs were as heavy as lead, unable to move.

I threw the Luoyang shovel aside and fell to the ground exhausted.

Professor Ye smiled: "How does it feel to walk before the gate of hell?"

I let out a heavy breath: "It feels so fucking exciting!"

After saying this, the three of us looked at each other and laughed.

"Hush!" Gu Meidi suddenly put his finger on his lips: "Listen!"

We followed the sound to the top of the cellar, and faintly heard creaking sounds from above the cellar, it seemed that someone was about to come down.

Professor Ye winked at me, I understood, reached out to grab the Luoyang shovel, and hid in the darkness behind the cellar entrance.

Soon, a little fire lit up at the entrance to the cellar.

A thin and thin man walked down with an oil lamp in his hand.The light reflected his face, his eyes were slanted, his mouth was slanted, and he had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He looked very ugly. He was about 40 years old and his hair was a little bald.His face was flushed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he smelled strongly of alcohol.

Seeing the ancient Mei flute in the corner, the bald man's eyes lit up.He sniffed, and walked towards Gu Meidi with a lewd smile: "Little girl, you are so good-looking, my brother has been itching to death since he saw you for the first time! Hurry up! Come and play with me!"

The bald man eagerly unbuttoned his trousers while spraying foul language, looking like a beast.

When we entered the villa, we had never seen this bald man. Presumably this bald man might be Wan Juncheng's servant. Seeing that Gu Meidi was young and beautiful, he became vicious and wanted to do that funeral with a bit of alcohol. All the goddamn shitty things.

Seeing that the bald man was so unreasonable to Gu Meidi, my heart burst into anger, my eyes seemed to be burning red, and I rushed out of the darkness with the Luoyang shovel upside down, and swung the Luoyang shovel heavily It was slapped on the bald man's head, and the bald man looked back at me, blood flowed down his head, he rolled his eyes, fell to the ground and passed out.

I was so furious that I swung the Luoyang shovel and wanted to shoot again. Professor Ye quickly came over and stopped me: "Enough, if you hit me again, you will die!"

I threw away the Luoyang shovel angrily, and stretched out my foot to kick that guy in frustration, that guy was like a dead pig, motionless.

Gu Meidi clapped his hands and stood up, looking at me with a half-smile: "Tuoba Gu, I've never seen you get so angry!"

I blurted out: "Who told this bastard to be rude to you..."

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt something was wrong. I squinted at Gu Meidi, and saw that she was smiling with her lips pursed, her curved eyebrows were as beautiful as crescent moons.

Professor Ye said: "You two, don't flirt with each other. Now is a good time to go out. Can you go? If not, I'll go first!"

The three of us quietly crawled out of the cellar, and found that this is Wanjia's backyard, where lush plants are planted.The moon and stars in the night sky outside were sparse, and it was estimated that it was already midnight.The villa was pitch black, and there was no sound at all.We tiptoed out of Wanjia Villa.

Stopped a taxi at the entrance of the villa area, and drove away from this ghost place at lightning speed.

"Where are you going?" the driver asked, yawning.

Professor Ye said: "Go to the urban area to find a business hotel. It's already late at night. Let's settle down and rest first, and wait until dawn to worry about it!"

The taxi took us back to the city and stopped in front of a business hotel.

When we entered the hotel, we asked the waiter for three rooms, and the waiter told us with apology: "Sorry, there are only two rooms left now!"

"Ah? Then what should we do?" Gu Meidi asked.

Professor Ye said: "I live in one room, and you two live in one room, it's just right!"

Gu Meidi's cheeks turned red all of a sudden: "Ah?! I... I don't want it... Why don't you two big men sleep in one room, it's not convenient for me to be a girl..."

Professor Ye said: "No, my sleep quality is very poor, and I can't sleep with others. Oh, what are you embarrassed about, anyway, it's not like you two haven't slept together before!"
