Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 148 Eternal Secret

Kowloon tattoo!

It has to be this, I don't have anything special on me other than the Nine Dragons tattoo, so if there's anything that beats Can Cong, it's it.

But how is this tattoo used?

The sound of breaking wind behind me was getting closer and closer, and I was sweating profusely, but I still couldn't do anything.

Fight!

Seeing that Cancong was about to catch up, I gritted my teeth and decided to go all out. When it was about to approach, I stopped suddenly, and let it bump into me with its whole body, and its nails also grabbed my back.

hiss……

Severe pain came, and I only felt that my entire back was split, and then I lost consciousness. Before I lost consciousness, I heard a sizzling sound.

I don't know how long it took, but I woke up in a burst of pain, and I was startled when I saw the things next to me.

I saw a charred corpse on the ground exuding a stench...

"Boy, are you stupid?" Old Yan's joking voice came from one side.

I turned my head with difficulty, only to see Miss Si and Lao Yan standing aside, the latter looked at me with a playful face, while Miss Si was still expressionless, but there was obvious relief in her eyes.

"What's going on here?" I opened my mouth while enduring the severe pain. What happened in front of me was too unbelievable. Although the things behind it scared away the mummy in the ancient kingdom of long night, the mummy and silkworms are not at the same level at all, it doesn't make sense Tattoos can only scare away mummies, but they can directly burn alive corpses, right?

"You didn't insult the lintel of Liu's family. If your father knew, he would rest in peace under Nine Springs." The fourth girl rarely softened her voice, leaned over and took off Can Cong's mask.

As soon as Can Cong left the mask, his whole body began to shrink.

"This..." I looked at the fourth girl in surprise.

The fourth girl touched the golden mask, and said slowly: "You still don't know much about silkworms."

After finishing speaking, he told us a very secret history:

Can Cong returned to the ancient Shu Kingdom with the unfinished method of immortality. From that day on, he began to think about how to perfect this method.

But immortality is not so easy. For a long time, he stayed at the stage of Pisces ancient mirror, and almost gave up.

At this time, the subjects of the ancient Shu Kingdom worked hard to obtain a kind of worm, which can keep people in a wonderful state when combined with the ancient mirror of Pisces.

"Is it a living corpse?" Lao Yan asked in surprise when he heard this for the first time.

The fourth girl nodded and shook her head: "It's not a living corpse, it can only be called a walking corpse."

"Walking corpse?" I asked puzzled, I had never heard of this thing.

"That's right," the fourth girl said kindly, "Insects can produce a strange substance when combined with the Pisces ancient mirror. It is said that Cancong used this substance to create a mask, which can transform people into living corpses when worn before dying." , after thousands of years, it can be revived from the internal organs.”

I opened my mouth to ask, and the fourth girl understood what I meant, and asked me if I wanted to know why Cancong failed to become a living corpse in the end?
I nodded repeatedly, and the fourth girl snorted coldly: "Because people's hearts are unpredictable."

He then told us that although the subjects of the ancient Shu State worshiped Cancong almost fanatically, it was inevitable that some people would have different opinions over time, especially when Cancong was not focused on governing the country.So some people began to want Cancong to die forever. As for the resurrection...they tampered with the insects, causing Cancong to stay half dead in the tomb for thousands of years, but he couldn't really come back to life.

"You can see from those images that the people who sent Cancong to the funeral clearly loved him very much, how could they do such a thing?" I couldn't believe it.

The fourth girl snorted coldly: "How could the manipulators let those subjects know?"

Hearing what the fourth girl said, I looked at the silkworms that had turned into a piece of charcoal, and couldn't help but sigh. He spent thousands of years of loneliness just to wait for the goddess in his heart, but who wants to be put together when he is dying.

Only then did I think of some unreasonable things, such as the bronze chains on the coffin and the unclimbable curves, which obviously put several layers of shackles on Can Cong's actions after his resurrection.

"What kind of insect has such an effect?" Lao Yan didn't care whether the silkworm was placed together, but paid attention to other details.

The fourth girl shook her head to express that she was not clear, she only said that it was a kind of Gu insect.

"It's the ancestor of life-sustaining Gu." A voice came, and I turned my head to look, and saw Kumbu, who had been separated from Lao Yan and the others for a long time, standing not far from us, with his hands in his pockets.

Lao Yan asked him how he knew, and Kumbu sighed, because Tashi came here this time to find this Gu worm, and then he would prove that he is a veritable Gu king.

As for how Tashi knows this thing is here, that is an eternal secret...

"Let's go." Seeing that everything was explained, the fourth girl threw the Cancong mask into my arms: "This is the second national treasure you brought into 701."

After speaking, he motioned us to leave the tomb.

Because there were four girls on the way back, we relaxed a lot. After meeting Miss Qiu and the others outside the tomb, we went down the mountain all the way.

Standing under the majestic mountain range, I couldn't help looking back, thinking that Can Cong was gone, and I wondered if those corpse hunters would continue to guard here?
"Miss Si, are you going back to Yanjing with us?" Just when I was in a daze, Lao Yan asked.

The fourth girl shook her head: "No, I still have something to do, Lao Yan, you should pay attention recently, there are some unrest everywhere."

As soon as he said that, he turned around and left. Lao Yan didn't look back until his back disappeared, and said to us: "Let's go, we will probably be busy in the future."

"What do you mean by Miss Si?" Miss Qiu looked at Lao Yan: "Did something happen these few days?"

Old Yan said kindly: "If there is no big event, the fourth girl will not appear easily, so be prepared."

"It seems that something extraordinary is about to be born, Lao Yan, this time we must not miss it!" Miss Qiu said with a false grasp of her right hand, as if she was bound to win.

Lao Yan seemed to think of something, and said with hostility: "Naturally!"

I looked at them and felt that there was a special aura about them.

Lao Yan patted me on the shoulder: "With my mission, protecting national treasures is not just a slogan, you will gradually understand from now on..."

"En." I nodded emphatically, looking at the way down the mountain, I understand that joining 701 is not only based on blood, but also a responsibility!
"Let's go, the next national treasure is waiting for us!" Lao Yan said loudly, and then led us down the mountain...
