Chapter 465 Nanzhao Witch Gu
Seeing Shangguan Kangning running away, followed by Chen Ziyang, he guessed that Shangguan Kangning had discovered something extraordinary, otherwise he wouldn't be so nervous.

Xu Xiaoyuan and Jin Huang stayed where they were, continuing to inspect the pitch-black body, while Yang Lei and Shan Shishuai expanded the scope of their search, wanting to check if there was anything else nearby.Only this time, Yang Lei was extra careful when walking.

Shangguan Kangning ran to the side of the bonfire and stopped. He squatted beside the bonfire and kept looking around. What else is there to see in burnt wood.

"Shangguan Kangning, did you find something? Is it related to the poisoning of those poachers?" Chen Ziyang asked impatiently.

Shangguan Kangning did not answer Chen Ziyang's question, but instead said to Chen Ziyang: "Lend me the sword in your hand."

After taking the ancient Xuanming sword from Chen Ziyang's hand, Shangguan Kangning used the sword to lightly stroke the surface of a pile of white ashes, peeling off a thin layer of plant ash.

Unknown why, Chen Ziyang stood behind Shangguan Kangning and watched.A thick layer of ash was scattered around the edges and directly below the campfire, but what was there to see?As long as the wood is burned, these things will fall.

After the top layer of plant ash was peeled off by Shangguan Kangning, he stared at the flat ashes carefully for a while, and even bent down and put his face on the ground, obviously looking at the ash that was destroyed by the ancient Xuanming sword. A cross-section of pared plant ash.

After finding nothing, Shangguan Kangning continued to repeat the previous actions, and peeled off a thin layer of plant ash.In this way, after careful cleaning three or four times in succession, something finally appeared on the section of the plant ash.

Round holes the size of soybean grains are irregularly distributed on this piece of plant ash.The inside of the hole is pitch black, and it seems that there is still a certain depth.

"How did these holes come from?" Chen Ziyang asked such a question.Judging from Shangguan Kangning's previous performance, he seems to have known that there are such holes in the ashes, but normally, after the ashes of burning wood fall on the ground, there should not be such small holes.

And judging from the current signs, these holes are not only found in the plant ash layer, it seems that they should be deep underground.

After exposing these holes in the plant ash, Chen Ziyang saw that Shangguan Kangning's hands visibly trembled, and trembling slightly, he was probably very excited.

Immediately afterwards, Shangguan Kangning picked up the ancient Xuanming sword again, and this time, his target was not the plant ash that fell on the ground, but instead stuck to the ground, peeling off a thin layer of soil, with the ash on it The plant ash was thrown aside together.

After several sword cuts, the ground was cleared out, and Chen Ziyang saw that the ground was densely covered with black holes.

It seems that the holes in the plant ash really lead to the ground, but because of the wind blowing, the holes in the top layer of the plant ash are covered by other plant ash and blocked.It is estimated that Shangguan Kangning already knew what was going on, otherwise he would not be able to directly start with the ash.

Seeing these holes in the ground, Shangguan Kangning immediately stood up, pulled Chen Ziyang away from the campfire.

"Hey! Come here." Shangguan Kangning shouted to the four people in the distance.

After everyone got together, Shangguan Kangning's words lifted everyone's spirits.

"We have arrived at our destination, and this should be the place recorded on the map."

Hearing Shangguan Kangning's words, the other five people all showed joy. After suffering so much for so many days, they finally arrived at this place. It seems that God has treated them well, even after 1000 years Still let them follow the clues left by Yuan Tiangang to find this place.

But Chen Ziyang noticed that when he said this, the expression on Shangguan Kangning's face was not joy, but very serious, as if he was facing an enemy.

"Shangguan Kangning, what's going on? How did you know that there are those small holes under the campfire? It seems that you already know the cause of the poacher's death." Knowing that things may not be as simple as everyone imagined, Chen Zi Yang asked.

"I should have thought about it a long time ago, but I didn't think about it. Fortunately, it's not too late to think about it now. Fortunately, we were more careful just now and didn't touch the blackened body. Otherwise, Maybe we will end up like him.

The cause of the poacher's death was precisely because of Gu worms, he was poisoned by a very special kind of Gu poison, that's why he became like that.

This kind of Gu insect is called Black Mang, and its poison is very violent. People who have been poisoned by Hei Mang Gu have stiff limbs and black body, and will die soon. After a few days, the body will turn into a puddle of blood.

This is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing about this kind of Gu poison is that it is contagious, as long as someone directly touches the blackened corpse, or touches the bloody water from the corpse, they will be infected with this Gu poison.

Fortunately, Yang Lei wore thicker clothes before, so he didn't let his skin touch the corpse directly, otherwise, he would be dead by now.

It is said that the cultivation of this kind of Gu insect is very difficult. It has only appeared in one place in history, and that is Nanzhao, and there is only one witch and poison master in Nanzhao who can cultivate this kind of Gu insect.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were many small countries in the Erhai area, among which there were six powerful small countries called Liuzhao, and the southernmost Mengshezhao was called "Nanzhao".

Later, with the support of the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao wiped out the other five Zhaozhao and unified the Erhai area.However, Nanzhao later rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and was eventually destroyed.And the reason why Nanzhao has such a strong combat power is inseparable from the voodoo poison master and the black scorpion worms he cultivated.

It is said that this kind of Gu insect has a very strong reproductive ability and a very fast reproduction speed, but its lifespan is very short. After being cultivated into a Gu insect, it can only survive for three or four hours.

So at that time, the voodoo poison master of Nanzhao Kingdom thought of a method, which was to let these insects fall into a deep sleep, and only wake up when they wanted to use them.

In addition to being highly poisonous, the scariest thing about black worms is that these things are relatively small, only about the size of a bean, and they can fly at a very fast speed.

There are a lot of them, they are highly toxic, and they are also a kind of flying Gu insects. The lethality of these things is very terrifying. If they are chosen as the target, there is no way to avoid them. It is really hard to guard against. Do not know how to die.

However, after this kind of Gu insect releases the Gu poison contained in its body, it will die immediately, just like a bee stings someone.This kind of Gu worm hurts the harmony of the sky and is called witch Gu.

Although black mace is very poisonous, it is also difficult to control. After being awakened, it does not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. If there is a slight mistake in using it, it will cause a thousand damage to the enemy and eight hundred damage to the self. It may even be awakened. No one in Heimen can escape the fate of being poisoned.So this Gu worm disappeared long ago. "

Hearing what Shangguan Kangning said, Yang Lei broke out in a cold sweat.Good guy, this is really terrible. If I had worn less clothes at that time, or if I had been more curious and touched the blackened body, I would have become that virtuous now.

"Then how did these things wake up? Judging from the poaching team's ability to capture red pandas and clouded leopards, they should often be active in this area, and they should be very familiar with it. Why did they have nothing to do before?" ?”

"It is estimated that these people have done too many bad things, and they must be punished by God. It should be the bonfire they lit that awakened these black gu insects.

Although the number of insects such as black mangoes is relatively large, they all exist in groups, but because of the short survival time, the number is not as many as imagined.

So I reckon it's quite a coincidence that under the bonfire they lit, there are some dark sleeping Gu worms buried. These things are buried in the ground, and no matter how heavy the wind and rain are, they will sleep there unmoved. with.

But those poachers set up a bonfire above, and in one night, enough heat was transmitted to the area where the black mang was, so these things were awakened and drilled out of the soil.

The small black holes you saw before were made when these things drilled out of the soil, and then the result can be imagined. The poacher was bitten by bugs for no reason. Gu poisoned and died.

Perhaps this poaching team has also stayed here before, but the area of ​​the bonfire is very small. If you set up a bonfire above the place where the black scorpion is buried, the probability of awakening the Gu worms is relatively small, but this Once, these people won the lottery.

This is why I said that we have arrived at our destination. You told me before that the treasure we are looking for was left by Yuan Tiangang. Early Tang.

Coupled with the fact that this very rare Gu worm is buried here, I guess, this should be where the treasure is, but I don't know if there are other Gu worms buried here. "

"Then what about those Gu worms that were awakened before? Will they still be hiding around here?" Yang Lei asked worriedly.

"Probably not. When I was checking the ashes under the campfire just now, I found that the layer of ashes blown flat by the wind was very thick. In other words, it has been a long time since these Gu worms got out of the ground. Yes, it should have been more than five or six hours, and these bugs should have died long ago.

Even if they are not dead, they should fly to other places to find food, and it is impossible to stay where they are, so you can rest assured that these things should not threaten us.But there is one thing, everyone must not light a bonfire again, maybe it will wake up some other black beasts. "

"These poachers are really to blame. Lei Zi and I checked nearby, and there was another corpse on the hillside not far away, and it was also black all over.

We also found a flying shoe in the grass, which was very far away from the corpse. It is estimated that these people ran away crazily after encountering the black scorpion.But their running speed was not as fast as the flying speed of the bugs, so they still didn't run away.

In addition, we also found some traces of tall grass being crushed near the cliff in front. It looks like someone slipped down the hillside, probably falling to the bottom of the cliff.It is very high there, and if you fall, there will be no bones left, and there will be no good end. "Umbrella Shishuai said.

"Anyway, it's better for everyone to be careful. These poachers are a lesson for us. I never thought that after 1000 years, these Gu insects are still so effective. Don't mess with these things again.

Shangguan Kangning, you know a lot about Gu worms, you can check around here to see if you can eliminate some dangers, and ask Xu Xiaoyuan and Jin Huang to help you.

Brother Umbrella, Lei Zi, I have a difficult task for you two.You find a way to throw the two corpses you found under the cliff, and don't touch them. If you don't deal with these two corpses, maybe their bloody water will cause us trouble in a few days.

In addition, the two of you are also searching the vicinity again to see if there are any other corpses, and throw them down together, but you have to be careful. After disposing of the corpses, you'd better search together with Shangguan Kangning, otherwise you may die. in danger. "

After instructing the five people what to do, Chen Ziyang looked around at the surrounding terrain.

Since this should be the place where Yuan Tiangang left the treasure, there should be some clues to find the treasure.This area is not big, but it is not small. If you want to find the treasure, you need to check it carefully.

Finding a place with relatively high terrain, Chen Ziyang observed the surrounding terrain.

This is a relatively flat open space on a hillside. The north side is blocked by a large cliff. This cliff is very high. It is not so easy to climb up. There are white rocks exposed on the cliff, and sporadic plants grow on the cliff.

Below the hillside is a cliff, bottomless, surrounded by clouds and mist, it is estimated that the treasure cannot be there.

The west side of the hillside is the dense forest that everyone passed by when they came, and the east side of the hillside is also a cliff, which is integrated with the north cliff and wraps this piece of hillside inside.

After watching the kung fu for a long time, Chen Ziyang made sure that this place is not a Fengshui place at all, and the trend of the nearby mountains does not conform to the characteristics of any Fengshui treasure cave.This is also within reason.

As a Fengshui master, Yuan Tiangang understands a truth, that is, although the Fengshui treasure point is good, it is easy to be discovered by others.The things he carefully hides naturally don't want to be found easily by others, so the more there are no signs to follow, the more secretive the hidden things are.

From this point of view, what Yuan Tiangang buried here should really be a treasure, not a tomb.
