death

Chapter 51 The Expelled Gu Breeder

Tian Sihan said he would take us to catch bugs, but before I could talk to Mai Xiaorou, Professor Ma stood up and said, "I'll go with you!"

Both Xiao Jin and Xiao Zhou hesitated, and did not dare to say that they would follow, probably because they were afraid of those bugs, so Xiao Jin said to Professor Ma: "Professor, something happened to the two team leaders. You are the person in charge of this investigation. If you have anything else to do, our subject will be over!"

Professor Ma smiled slightly at Xiao Jin and said, "I've been studying the ancient people in Hamodong for half my life. If I can die on this matter, I'm well deserved. Those topics are not important to me."

Xiao Jin's face changed, and he didn't speak again.

Professor Ma doesn't value those topics, but Xiao Jin does. He is still young and urgently needs some research results to enrich his "life resume", which will be of great benefit to his future development.

Although Xiao Jin didn't speak, I seemed to see through his thoughts.

But I soon realized that his thoughts were not what I could see through, but the Snake King Pendant on his chest, which emitted a faint heat and conveyed an emotion to me, and this emotion contained Xiaojin's true nature Thoughts, what he cares about is not Professor Ma, but his own subject.

He thought that after Professor Ma's death, this subject might fall into the hands of other professors, and other professors also have their own students, and then it would not be his turn.

After knowing this, I hated that little Jin a little bit.

Xiao Zhou also came to persuade Professor Ma at this time, but to no avail.

This time the Snake King Pendant didn't respond, probably because Xiao Zhou was sincere.

After Professor Ma talked with his students, Tian Sihan smiled and said, "Professor Ma, don't follow us, those bugs are not ordinary."

Professor Ma immediately said: "I know, Gu? I have been engaged in archaeology in Guizhou and Hunan for many years, and I have never seen Gu. I am not afraid. It says you are an insect expert, but I know in my heart that you are a 'Gu' Experts in the field, with you here, I will probably be fine, besides, I am just watching from a distance, and I will never get too close to you, let alone hinder you."

Hearing what Professor Ma said, Tian Sihan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, when you get there, you must keep a distance of more than 20 meters from us."

Professor Ma nodded, and then brought a flashlight, a small shovel and other tools to lead us in front.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Zhou stayed behind to guard the camp.

Along the way, Professor Ma said a little excitedly: "When I was in the camp just now, I didn't tell you that I think the toad cave may be a place for ancient people to sacrifice, and the insects in that cave are what they sacrificed. I think they Probably a group of people with bugs as their totems."

Tian Sihan said: "It's Gu!"

Professor Ma said: "Yes, yes, Gu is used as a totem. Of course, this is just my guess. I have no way to produce more evidence to support my guess, so I have to follow you. You must know Gu very well." In detail, I hope that you can tell me the details of those Gu in detail, or give me a copy of the detailed information of those Gu, I hope to find valuable information from the information of those Gu."

Tian Sihan smiled and said: "Professor Ma, I really admire your enthusiasm for academic research. If I can help you, I will definitely help, but if it is beyond my ability, then don't blame me."

Listening to the conversation between Professor Ma and Tian Sihan, I felt that the two of them were battle-tested veterans.

After a while, we came near a raised hill. Professor Ma pointed to the hill and said, "The entrance to the cave is there. We have checked the area several times, and the bugs hardly come out of that cave."

Tian Sihan nodded, then took out a bamboo tube, and then poured out some white powder, which was applied to Professor Ma's forehead, neck, back of hands and other exposed skin.

Professor Ma didn't ask anything, and asked Tian Sihan to wipe it on him.

After wiping it off, Tian Sihan said: "This is a kind of Gu insect feces. It doesn't have a strange smell, but has a jasmine fragrance. Applying it on the body can prevent other Gu insects from being bitten. Stay here and don't move around."

Gu insect feces! ?

Although it doesn't have a bad smell, it always feels a bit disgusting when you apply it on your body.

But Professor Ma didn't think so, nodded to Tian Sihan and said, "Thanks, I won't move around."

I changed my mind and thought again, the feces can prevent Gu insects from biting, so should we also smear some on it? According to Professor Ma, the person who was poisoned by the imitation Gu insect poison in the toad hole would have a bad end.

Thinking of this, I asked Tian Sihan if he could smear us a little too.

Tian Sihan threw the bamboo tube to me and said, "Look at Tu."

I quickly followed suit, and when I was applying it, I secretly put the white powder in front of my nose and smelled it, and it did have a delicate fragrance.

After I painted myself, I went to help Mai Xiaorou paint it.

Mai Xiaorou looked at me and said, "Look at you, your face is blushing, you..."

In the middle of the conversation, Mai Xiaorou suddenly closed her mouth again, probably because she remembered about Grandpa Mai again, but then again, every time Mai Xiaorou teased me, I felt that she was a little different , when she said half a sentence just now, I had that feeling again, but she quickly suppressed it again.

I couldn't help but think, could it be that when Mai Xiaorou teased me, she didn't mean it every time, but was bewitched by some kind of power in her body! ?

The most doubtful power in Mai Xiaorou's body is the "corpse". Could it be that the corpse poison in Mai Xiaorou's body is causing the trouble?
I didn't ask Mai Xiaorou these words. After Mai Xiaorou wiped it, I returned the bamboo tube to Tian Sihan, and he put it away directly.

I asked him why he didn't wipe it himself.

Tian Sihan said, "I don't need it!"

As he said that, he took the lead and walked towards the small mountain bag. After walking a few steps, he still didn't forget to turn around and ask Mai Xiaorou and I to follow.

Walking behind Tian Sihan, I gradually became nervous.

I once again thought of the time when Gu worms crawled all over the room in the Sansheng Dao, before I got to the toad hole, my skin got goosebumps.

Soon, we arrived in front of the cave. Tian Sihan took out the flashlight that Professor Ma gave me and took a look into the cave. The cave is not deep, and you can see the head at a glance. Put a small flag to mark it.

After looking around carefully, we didn't find any signs of Gu worms.

Tian Sihan took the flashlight and shined it for a while and said: "It's really good, the place to bury Gu, they can choose this place, they are also amazing."

Tian Sihan must have seen something when he said that, so I went to ask him.

Tian Sihan said: "This small hill is the place with the most abundant aura in the vicinity. It is even said that the nearby aura will automatically flow to this side, then erupt from this small hill, and then flow back to various places. This is a natural area. gathering spirit place."

I'm curious to ask what is Gathering Land.

Mai Xiaorou explained to me from the side: "Literally, it means a place where spiritual energy gathers. This kind of place is very rare, and only some wonderful caves in Lingshan Mountains can exist."

Tian Sihan continued: "In fact, when the real toad cave was excavated decades ago, semi-fossils of insects were found in that cave. After taking them for research, it was confirmed that those insects were not ordinary insects, but The ancients in Hamodong have been raising Gu for human blood."

"There are risks in raising Gu. Sometimes the Gu worms get out of control, so some of the ancient people in Hamodong died because of the out-of-control Gu worms."

"After this happened in succession, the ancient people of Hamodong began to oppose raising Gu, and the Gu people among them were also expelled by others, so some ancient people of Hamodong moved away, and here Those who build civilization are the group of Gu breeders who moved from Hama Cave."

When Tian Sihan said that, Mai Xiaorou and I were both stunned. We asked him how he knew almost at the same time.

Tian Sihan said: "Although the ancients in Hama Cave did not have words, they already had simple painting skills. They used simple paintings to tell this story to us, and this series of painting stories has already been written in the real Hama Cave. It was excavated, and it was carved on several stone slabs. Later, due to some reasons, the stone slabs were hidden, and this became a secret, only a few people knew."

"If I'm not mistaken, that Professor Ma is one of the few people. He has been investigating through the things recorded on that slate, and then he found here."

I asked curiously, "Then why didn't he say anything just now?"

Tian Sihan said: "It's said to be a secret, how can you tell others casually?"

I asked him how he knew about the slate, and Tian Sihan said, "When I come to this case, I must go through all the materials, including the slate. I have my own connections."

Before Mai Xiaorou and I said anything, Tian Sihan continued: "The series of slates not only recorded the story of this migration, but the last slate also recorded one thing, which was said to be taken away by the Gu raisers when they migrated. A supreme treasure of the ancient people of Hamodong, because of the loss of that treasure, the real ancient people of Hamodong lost their shelter, were often harassed by wild beasts, and then slowly became extinct."

baby! ?
If it was taken away by the Gu raiser, then the treasure should be hidden in the migration place of the Gu raiser, which is the land we are standing on.

Tian Sihan continued: "Actually, in my opinion, since those Gu raisers are expelled, it is impossible for them to take away real treasures. I think what they took away should be things related to 'Gu', and It turns out that the person who protected the ancient people of Hamodong was also Gu, and because of the absence of Gu, the ancient people of Hamodong were wiped out."

"And the thing related to Gu is most likely buried in this imitation toad hole!"

"By the way, that Professor Ma may also be here for that baby!"

Hearing what he said, I couldn't help but look back at Professor Ma in the distance. There was an elusive smile on his face.
