At the end of the temple tunnel is a plank road built on a cliff. It is less than two meters wide and has no protective measures. On the other side is a bottomless ghost cave.

Walking on the plank road, gusts of cold wind whistled up from the ghost cave. The two fat men turned blue with fright. They could only cling to the mountain wall and move carefully step by step.

After walking for a short time, everyone had already left them far behind.

When the fat man saw this, he shouted in fright.

"Wait for us, why are you walking so fast, hey!"

Wuxie shook his head helplessly and walked back.

"Are you trying to learn how to crawl like a tortoise? It's such a wide plank road and you won't fall down. There's nothing to be afraid of. Just take big strides!"

The fat man said with a grimace.

"It's not like you don't know that my natural fear of heights can't compare with yours."

"Tianzhen, don't abandon me, stay with us."

Wuxie said angrily.

"Two tall and tall men, it's better for Aning and A to have two girls. I'm really ashamed of you."

After saying that, he walked behind Fatty and Wang Kaixuan.

"I'll give you all the details from behind, so feel free to go and you'll be fine."

The fat man promised, but he still couldn't move his feet. He only dared to imitate the model's cat walk.

Wu Xie frowned and without saying a word, he kicked the fat man and Wang Kaixuan on the buttocks.

The two fat men were unprepared and stumbled forward several steps. They were so frightened that they screamed out.

"Oh my god, do you want to kill me?"

"My ancestors scared me to death!"

Wu Xie stepped forward with a smile and stretched out his hand.

"See for yourselves, how far away are we from the cliff?"

Fatty and Wang Kaixuan looked to the side in shock, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The scene just now seemed scary, but in fact, the two of them were standing in the middle of the plank road, more than one meter away from the cliff. It was not as scary as imagined.

Wuxie stepped forward and patted their shoulders and said.

"Acrophobia is just a psychological disorder, like a spring. The more you are afraid of it, the more it bullies you."

"You don't want to be bullied by it all your life."

After saying that, he walked straight forward and ignored them.

The two fat men looked at each other blankly, seeming to have some real feelings.

"Commander Wang, after being scared to death by him, I don't seem to be as scared as before."

"Fat Master, I feel the same way, how about we give it a try?"

They boldly walked forward without looking away.

After walking for a while, the fat man exclaimed.

"I'm really not afraid anymore, my fear of heights is gone!"

"Fat Master, me too!"

Their fear of heights was cured by Wu Xie's kick. They were overjoyed and jumped up and down to catch up with the team, expressing their gratitude to Wu Xie.

After this short interlude, everyone had arrived at the protruding cliff.

I saw a kind of vine growing near the cliff, covering an area of ​​about thousands of square meters, with green leaves the size of a palm, exactly the same as those in the tomb of Prince Gu Mo.

There is a kind of purple flower blooming on these vines, which is the size of a washbasin and exudes a faint fragrance.

Fortunately, everyone was wearing gas masks and were not affected by the gas.

Shirley Yang took a closer look and couldn't help but be surprised.

"This is the Corpse Amorphophallus konjac produced in Sumatra. It is also called corpse flower. It is an Araceae herbaceous plant and is extremely rare."

"This thing is not produced in China, so why does it appear here?"

Wuxie also showed a puzzled look.

"I've seen Amorphophallus odorata in a book. It's much bigger than this one. One leaf is five or six meters long, and the flowers it blooms are bigger than a bathtub."

"Why are the flowers and leaves here so small? Are they a mutated species?"

After Hu Bayi scanned the surrounding area, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the other end of the cliff.

"There are big ones too, look at them."

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and saw a vague purple thing at the end of the cliff. It was visually larger than a small car!

Wuxie was stunned immediately.

"How can the same plant produce two kinds of flowers that are so different?!"

Hu Bayi thought for a while and said.

"Perhaps this is a special breed bred artificially."

Ji Changsheng stepped forward and put his hand into the sea of ​​purple flowers.

Just when he was about to fuse, a few vines suddenly jumped up like lightning and whipped towards him like whips.

"Hey, you still resist?"

Naturally, an attack of this level could not hurt him, but it just made him feel quite surprised.

He gently grabbed a few vines with his right hand and was about to observe them carefully.

At this time, the woman's voice came again.

"Don't touch these flowers casually, they are poisonous."

"And they eat people."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked.

There are indeed carnivorous plants in the world, such as Venus flytraps, but these plants usually do not grow very large and can only capture small animals such as insects.

Plants big enough to eat people only appear in myths, legends and literary and artistic works, but do not exist in the real world.

Ji Changsheng turned his head and looked towards the end of the cliff, where the sound came from.

He threw away the vines in his hands and walked towards the cliff.

"We are already here, it's time for you to come out and meet us."

Everyone hurriedly avoided the sea of ​​flowers and followed Ji Changsheng up the cliff.

The voice came again, getting closer and closer to them.

"The presence of distinguished guests has brought glory to my humble home. I welcome you all."

There was a hint of majesty in the gentleness, and there was a hint of the queen's demeanor.

The fat man's two eyeballs were almost bulging out. The voice seemed to have a kind of magic, which made his heart beat twice as fast.

"The legendary first beauty in the Western Regions, the peerless beauty that made thirty-six countries fall in love with her, how beautiful she must be!"

Wang Kaixuan wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and said foolishly.

"It's worth coming all the way to see this queen. I can brag about it for the rest of my life after I go back!"

Others were also full of curiosity. What does the queen of more than two thousand years look like?

Only Wuxie frowned slightly and said in a low voice.

"Mr. Ji, something is not right."

Ji Changsheng glanced at him and motioned him to continue.

Wuxie said hurriedly.

"The Queen of Jingjue lived more than 2,000 years ago and is a minority in the Western Regions. But why can she speak modern Mandarin?"

When this was said, everyone was stunned.

Modern Mandarin evolved from the Northern Mandarin more than 100 years ago. This queen speaks fluent standard Mandarin. It doesn't make sense!

Hu Bayi also nodded.

"More importantly, the Queen of Jingjue has been dead for more than 2,000 years. The dead can't speak!"

The fat man suddenly woke up and shouted.

"Yes, I was fascinated by this voice and didn't think of these at all."

"Could it be that... this is not the Queen of Jingjue!"
