Anecdote of the Yellow River

Chapter 10: Worms of Death in the Western Regions
"Boom boom boom!" "Boom boom boom!"

This strange sound can be heard very clearly in the silent night.

Gu Meidi said: "It can't be grandpa beating things in the old house?"

As soon as Gu Meidi finished speaking, I saw Grandpa come out from the ground floor in a coat and hurried towards the old house.

If it's not grandpa, then who else is in the old house?
I couldn't sit still anymore, turned over and got up, put on some clothes casually, and walked out the door.

Gu Meidi also jumped off the bed, "Hey, don't leave me here alone, wait for me!"

In the darkness, Gu Meidi held my hand tightly and walked downstairs with me quickly.

For the sake of safety, when passing the kitchen on the first floor, I picked up a kitchen knife from the chopping board.

The old house was gloomy, like a dead tomb.

We followed the sound all the way to the backyard, and saw a dim yellow light in the backyard, and behind the light was the old and pale face of grandpa.He held a kerosene lamp in one hand and a six-toothed rake in the other, and the rake shone coldly in the dark night.

"Are you here?" Grandpa asked without looking back. Although he was old, his hearing was still very keen.

We nodded and stood behind Grandpa.

"Boom boom boom!" "Boom boom boom!"

The strange sound was heard clearly, and we already realized that this strange sound came from inside the tortoise coffin.

The dark and gloomy wooden tortoise coffin was placed horizontally in the center of the courtyard, and the bright moonlight poured down, reflecting the courtyard into a desolate and panicky environment.The moonlight fell on the coffin, as if it had been swallowed by the coffin, there was not even a gleam of light.

We stared at the tortoise coffin, and felt a chill in our hearts. How could there be strange sounds in the coffin?
I boldly said, "I'll go and have a look!"

Grandpa raised a rake to stop me, "Don't be impulsive, just look at it first!"

As soon as Grandpa finished speaking, there was a soft bang, and the drawer in the middle of the tortoise coffin slid out automatically.At the same time, a pale hand slowly stretched out from the coffin.

The scene in front of us made our hairs stand on end. We never thought that this kind of scene, which only appeared in horror movies, would actually appear in front of us.I couldn't help shivering, and secretly clenched the kitchen knife in my hand.

Gu Meidi exclaimed in a low voice: "Fraud corpse! Could this be the legendary cheat corpse?"

At this moment, a dense mist of dark green corpse gas erupted from the coffin, and the ancient corpse that had been sleeping for thousands of years suddenly "woke up". His limbs were stiff and he staggered out of the coffin.

Even though we are well-informed and have read countless corpses, we have never seen the strange event of ancient corpses being revived.I saw that ancient corpse standing expressionlessly in the middle of the yard, the cold moon knife in his hand was shining with a frightening cold light.

We couldn't help but gasped. Although we were separated by seven or eight meters, we could still clearly feel the strong murderous aura coming from the ancient corpse.It seemed that the person standing in front of us was not an ancient corpse at all, but a living person, a warrior from the Western Regions with high martial arts skills and murderous aura.

I have traveled all over the world for so many years, entered so many ancient tombs, and dealt with so many corpses, and I have never been afraid.But I have to admit, this time I was really scared.A hand seemed to stretch out in the darkness, strangled my neck, and then slowly tightened it tightly, and my breathing began to become short.

Grandpa suddenly spit on the ground, put down the kerosene lamp, picked up the six-tooth rake and rushed up.

"Bah!"

Grandpa let out a loud shout, and the six-toothed rake drew a bright arc in the air, and hit the Western Region warrior heavily on the head.

We originally thought that when the rake fell, the heads of the warriors from the Western Regions would burst like watermelons.However, what we never expected was that there was a crisp sound from the place where the nail rake fell, and a ball of sparks flew from the head of the warrior from the Western Regions, and the six-tooth nail rake was bounced back. step.

Gu Meidi exclaimed: "My dear! This guy is Iron Man!"

The matter has come to this point, and I can't take care of that much anymore. There is only one thought in my heart, no matter how terrifying this Western Region warrior is, I will do my best to protect Grandpa and Gu Meidi.

I roared, and rushed up with a kitchen knife, a bit like a street fight.

Afterwards, Gu Meidi told me that the moment I rushed out with the kitchen knife in hand, she thought I was so handsome.

I rushed to the warriors of the Western Regions in three or two steps, raised my kitchen knife and slashed at the warriors of the Western Regions like a storm.I can only hear the sound of Dangdang, that warrior from the Western Regions actually has an indestructible body, my kitchen knife has cut a gap, and there is still no scar on the body of the warrior from the Western Regions.Just when I was out of breath, I suddenly saw a flash of cold light, and the warrior from the Western Regions swung the Lengyue Dao in his hand and slashed at me.I was shocked, and hurriedly held the kitchen knife above my head.There was a crisp sound, and the kitchen knife was split in two.I was startled, dropped the kitchen knife and retreated to a place five meters away.

Just hearing a few swishing sounds, the Leng Yue Dao drew white circles of light one after another in the air, chopping the six-toothed rake in Grandpa's hand into several pieces.

I said anxiously: "It would be great if there were black dog blood or black donkey hooves now, and it would be fine if it didn't become glutinous rice!"

Gu Meidi said: "Do you really believe that these things can restrain the corpse change?"

I said, "I don't know either! But I can't think of any other way now. Go back to the kitchen and see if there is glutinous rice in the kitchen."

Gu Meidi stomped his feet, turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, I heard grandpa shouting loudly: "Granddaughter-in-law, quickly take out the shotgun hanging on the wall of the main room!"

Gu Meidi quickly ran into the main room, and after a while, ran out with a shiny black shotgun.

The warriors from the Western Regions, holding the Lengyue Dao in their hands, approached us step by step, cold sweat pouring down our backs.Grandpa took the shotgun, pushed and loaded it skillfully, raised the black muzzle, and aimed at the heads of the warriors from the Western Regions.

Grandpa shouted to us: "Tuobagu, Gumeidi, come behind me!"

Although my grandfather is a bit bent and old, but at this moment, I found that my grandfather has become extremely tall and mighty, as if he is still the young man in his 30s and [-]s, who looks fearless and full of courage.

When the samurai from the Western Regions was less than three meters away from us, Grandpa suddenly charged up and thrust the muzzle of the gun into the samurai from the Western Regions.The warrior from the Western Regions raised the Leng Yue Dao high, and was about to slash at Grandpa.At this moment, Grandpa pulled the trigger first.

boom!
Gunshots rang out, and the air was filled with a thick smell of gunpowder smoke.

The head of the warrior from the Western Regions exploded in an instant, the shattered skulls scattered in all directions, and the ancient corpse fell straight down.

We breathed a sigh of relief, and I looked at Grandpa, only to see drops of sweat dripping from Grandpa's face.

I subconsciously grabbed Gu Meidi's little hand, as if to comfort her, but also to comfort myself, "It's okay! It's okay!"

Grandpa said with some regret: "His grandma's! I thought I picked up a treasure, but it turned out to be an evil thing! I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I have encountered a strange thing of dead bodies being resurrected! Granddaughter-in-law, what a shame! Sorry to surprise you!"

Gu Meidi waved his hands again and again, "No! No! I...in fact, I'm not that scared..."

I turned to look at Gu Meidi, "What do you think of today's incident?"

Gu Meidi shook his head, "I don't know how to explain it, maybe we met a thousand-year-old rice dumpling!"

Grandpa leaned over to pick up the kerosene lamp, and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, "Hey, what is this?"

I saw an extremely weird bug crawling out of the shattered head of a warrior from the Western Regions. This is the weirdest and ugliest bug I have ever seen.The worm was about an inch long, dark red all over, and looked like a wriggling cow intestine.It has no feet, and slowly crawls on the ground in the form of waves.This strange insect has no obvious facial features. It has four soft tentacles growing on its head. The tentacles are closed together. Whenever it crawls a step, the tentacles will open to reveal the cross-shaped mouth inside.As it crawled, it spit out streams of dark green viscous liquid from its mouth. The dark green liquid was horribly corrosive, making the ground sizzle as it burned.

I frowned involuntarily, "What kind of strange insect is this, it looks disgusting!"

Grandpa raised his shotgun, trying to kill that strange insect with one shot.

Gu Meidi hurriedly dissuaded him: "Grandpa, you can't shoot! Once you shoot and explode that bug, the corrosive liquid in its body will splash out. If it accidentally gets on the skin, it will be troublesome!"

Grandpa put away the shotgun, "That makes sense! Then how do we deal with this disgusting thing?"

Gu Meidi snatched the kerosene lamp from Grandpa's hand, "Light it up with fire!"

As he said that, Gu Meidi raised the kerosene lamp and slammed it hard at the strange insect.

The kerosene lamp shattered, and all the kerosene inside was spilled on the strange insect.The flames spread rapidly, and soon surrounded the strange insects.The strange insects rolled and struggled in the flames, crackling, and the air was filled with a foul smell of burning.

We held our noses and backed away.The flame gradually became smaller until it went out, and the strange insect was burnt to ashes.

Grandpa asked: "What kind of weird bug is this? Why did it crawl out of the head of the ancient corpse?"

I have no way of answering this question, so I have to turn my attention to Gu Mei Di for advice. Gu Mei Di is a famous encyclopedia.Since she knew how to deal with the monster bug, she should also know the origin of the monster bug.

Gu Meidi pondered for a while, and said: "If I read correctly, this strange insect is very likely to be the death insect from the Western Regions that has disappeared for thousands of years!"

Worm of death from the Western Regions? !
I curled my lips, hearing the name was quite scary.

Gu Meidi told us, "Records about the death insects in the Western Regions can be traced back more than a thousand years ago, but it has been difficult to find the death insects in recent years. According to historical records, in the Gobi Desert in the Western Regions there are A terrible bug that can live in the human body and make the host crazy. People call it the bug of death. Later, some wizards used the bug of death in the tomb. They put the bug of death into In the brain of a living person, the worm of death will lodge in the brain and enter a dormant state, and the living person will die accordingly. Once certain conditions are ripe, the worm of death will wake up, and the dead will also be resurrected. But the resurrection The dead body afterward can no longer be regarded as a human being, because his brain has been eroded by the worm of death, and he has lost his autonomous consciousness, just like a living puppet, completely manipulated by the worm of death, becoming a living zombie!"

My grandfather and I exclaimed again and again, no one thought that a small bug would have such magical power.

I asked Gu Meidi, "Then what do you think is the condition for the Worm of Death to wake up?"

Gu Meidi thought for a while, "Maybe it's the temperature! The temperature in the past two days has been relatively high, and the turtle coffin has been placed in the sun for a long time. When the temperature inside the coffin rises, the insects of death will start to wake up."

I nodded, "It's possible!"

Gu Meidi said: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that this death worm is just a larva. It is said that the average adult death worm is as thick as a python, and the most terrifying death worm The worm may be as long as a train. The latest record about the death worm was in 1926. An American professor went deep into the Western Regions and recorded the legend about the death worm in his adventure diary. And in the 20s At the beginning, there was an expedition team that entered the desert of the Western Regions in an attempt to find the worm of death, but no one knows whether that expedition team got out of the desert alive!"

I broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but said, "This thing is not a mutant creature or an extraterrestrial life form, is it?"

After tossing around for most of the night, we also burned the headless ancient corpse to avoid future troubles.
