Anecdote of the Yellow River

Chapter 44 Jade figurines (2)
The picture in front of me kept shaking. I saw Gu Meidi waving anxiously at us on the shore. She opened her mouth and shouted loudly, but I couldn’t seem to hear her voice at all. I could only hear the clattering from behind. The sound of the water, I know that the golden python is getting closer and closer to us...

"Go up!" Professor Ye who was next to me slammed me behind my waist. I took advantage of the situation and jumped up with all my strength. I jumped out of the pool of blood and fell to the ground.

Before I got up, I heard Gu Meidi's mournful scream: "Professor Ye——"

My heart trembled suddenly, not good!Something happened to Professor Ye!
I struggled to get up from the ground, looked back, and saw Gu Meidi sitting on the ground with a pale face, covering his mouth with his hands, staring at Xuechi with wide eyes.

"Professor Ye! Professor Ye!" I ran over ignoring the pain in my body, only to see blood rolling in the pool of blood, the figure of the golden python looming in the pool of blood, but Professor Ye was nowhere to be seen.

My heart sank immediately, and my lips trembled crazily: "Gu Meidi, Professor Ye... Where is Professor Ye?"

Gu Meidi shook his head sadly, and two lines of tears came out of his eyes: "He...he pushed you ashore, but he didn't have time to climb up, and then...the snake...the snake rushed up..."

Gu Meidi was crying, and my head exploded, as if my body was emptied all of a sudden, my knees went limp, and I slumped on the ground powerlessly.Looking at the surging blood, I couldn't tell what it was like in my heart.Professor Ye had a chance to escape by himself just now, but he gave me the chance to survive at the last moment. This kindness is like a heavy stone on my chest, making me breathless.

Our minds went blank, and we just sat on the edge of the pool of blood foolishly.After a while, there was a sudden bang, and a head floated out of the pool of blood. Professor Ye waved at us panting: "You two idiots, come and give me a hand!"

"Professor Ye?!" Gu Meidi and I jumped up at the same time, full of surprises, and quickly stretched out our hands to pull Professor Ye out of the bleeding pool.

Professor Ye was wet all over, lying sprawled on the ground, his chest heaving violently.

"Professor Ye, you... are you still alive?" Seeing that Professor Ye came back alive, I was a little incoherent with excitement.

Professor Ye scolded with a smile: "What's the matter? You mean that you are expecting me to die?"

I quickly waved my hand: "No! Absolutely not!"

Professor Ye struggled to get up: "Fortunately, my skills are still nimble, and I almost died in the belly of a snake!"

Gu Meidi supported Professor Ye: "Let's leave here quickly, it will be difficult for that golden python to catch up!"

Professor Ye wiped the stinky blood stains on his face: "The giant python will not catch up, it can only stay in the blood pool, once it leaves the blood pool, it will not survive!"

"Ah? There is such a thing? Why is this?" I asked curiously.

Professor Ye said: "If I'm not wrong, this giant python should be a Gu snake, and it will grow crazy instantly after inhaling blood. I didn't know what the blood in this pool was for before, but now I know , the blood in this pool is for feeding Gu snakes. Just like what we did just now, once someone takes away the bronze eyeballs from the ancient corpse's mouth, the Gu snakes will be ejected from the ancient corpse, and then fall into the blood pool to absorb the blood Then it starts to mutate!"

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 road to Huangquan, and you can still hold hands when you arrive at the Hall of Yama." Can be a couple of ghosts. I am a lonely old man, walking on the long and sandy road to Huangquan, how lonely it is!"

Gu Meidi's cheeks turned red, and she curled her lips and said, "Professor, what 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. We can't force ourselves into it. We have to think of a surefire plan ! While protecting myself from harm, I was able to 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 poured in from under the tomb door.

I quickly backed away, then waved the Luoyang shovel wildly, 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. These poisonous scorpions gathered in groups of three or four, gathering into a black tide, pouring in continuously, like A black carpet was laid 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 python, which was majestic just now, rolled and scurry in the blood pool in fear, creating rushing water waves.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.

We didn't come to our senses until the Gu Snake was on the verge of dying, let's wait if we don't run now!
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, so heavy that we couldn’t 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 took a deep breath: "It feels so 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.
