The next day, Liao Zhong took Hu Bayi and others to the foot of Zhalong Mountain, and followed the Snake River to look for the underground river mentioned by Peacock.
Lao Meng brought Hu Xiuwu and the employees of Nadutong, the southwest region, to the jungle outside the village.
Lao Meng stood in an open space in the jungle, silently releasing his Qi.
Slowly, as Lao Meng's Qi spread, there was a commotion in the jungle, and buzzing sounds and flapping wings could be heard all around.
Insects, mosquitoes, and beetles that were everywhere in the jungle gathered together and surrounded Lao Meng.
He became Lao Meng's eyes and ears, helping him monitor the entire village.
Although these flying insects do not have much intelligence,
But at least, they can inform Lao Meng when someone passes by.
As a transit station, Lao Meng can notify colleagues in the nearby Southwest Region to go over and check out the situation.
Hu Xiuwu, who was standing by, watched Lao Meng cast a spell:
"I didn't expect that Lao Meng is actually a beastmaster who controls animals."
Ordinary beast masters can only control one type of animal at most, mostly ferocious beasts like tigers and lions. However, Lao Meng did the opposite and actually controlled insects.
Relying on Lao Meng's ability, just a few people and walkie-talkies can monitor all outsiders in the village.
No wonder Liao Zhong trusts Lao Meng so much.
Chapter 41 Mysterious Gu Master
The bus to Zhalong Mountain departed early in the morning. There were men, women, young and old on the bus, most of whom were villagers from nearby.
Tourists who come to Zhalong Mountain for tourism will not take this kind of bus. Most of them go to Zhalong Mountain by taking large buses rented by travel agencies.
Zhalong Mountain is located in a remote area and few outsiders come here for tourism.
So everyone on the bus basically knows each other, and even those who don’t know each other look familiar to each other, so they can greet each other and exchange a few words when they meet.
The bus was very lively, everyone was chatting about family matters, such as which daughter had gotten married, or which family had become wealthy.
There were only seven or eight people sitting at the back of the car, wearing Miao costumes, who were slightly excluded by everyone.
Because the villagers near the car found that none of them knew this group of people.
This group of people was also very strange. They didn't say a word when they got on the bus. The one sitting in the innermost part, an old man who seemed to be the leader of the group, was holding a box that was half a person's height.
The box gave off a rotten smell, but the old man seemed not to be able to smell it and still held it tightly in his arms, as if there was some invaluable treasure inside.
When we were halfway there, before reaching Zhalong Mountain, it started to rain.
The people in the car began to complain:
"What a horrible weather! It's raining again."
"Hey, the tea leaves I brought can't be soaked in water."
"I can still wait to go back and attend my uncle's baby's wedding. I don't think I can make it in this horrible weather."
Before the people in the car could finish complaining, the driver suddenly turned the steering wheel to the left.
It turned out that after days of heavy rain, a landslide occurred on the hillside ahead.
Seeing that there was no road ahead, the driver panicked and made a sharp turn on the mountain road and slammed on the brakes.
As the car shook violently, the luggage in the car fell from the roof on both sides and hit the heads of the people in the car.
The people in the smashed car cried out in pain.
Just when a package was about to hit the Miao old man.
His companion next to him immediately grabbed the package, but the package weighing more than ten pounds and the impact of the fall could not make his arm shake.
The old man just held the box and didn't even look at the situation here.
Before the people on the bus could recover, they suddenly felt a centrifugal force, just like riding a roller coaster. However, this old-fashioned bus did not have seat belts, so the people in the seats were thrown into the aisle.
The bus accidentally fell off the cliff beside the mountain road because of the sudden turn just now. It can no longer go forward.
The man who had just received the package said to the old man in Miao suit, "Old man, it seems that the car can't go, we can only walk."
"Then let's go, Enkuan, you know the way, you lead the way."
The Miao elder finally spoke, his voice was hoarse and cold, making people feel like there were bugs crawling on their bodies.
"Yes."
The young man named Enkuan, along with his men, escorted the old man out of the car.
One of the companions suddenly shouted, "Enkuan, look!"
Enkuan looked over when his companion called him.
After the landslide, the human pupa hidden underground was exposed. The human pupa was smashed by the falling rocks, revealing the roundworm inside.
The roundworms crawled back and forth in the human pupa's smashed skull and shriveled brain.
Seeing this scene, Enkuan not only did not feel disgusted, but he knelt on the ground and carefully examined the human pupa.
The Miao elder also came over with great interest and exclaimed:
"What a great craftsmanship! These are just human pupae for burial, but they are made so perfectly. This King Xian is indeed a great Gu Master."
"It's really not your fault that you failed to enter his tomb last time."
Enkuan still felt a lingering fear when he recalled the scene at that time. Enkuan's subordinate next to him said:
"The high priest is not exaggerating as we say. The King Xian used the power of the gods to bring disaster upon himself. He brought disaster to the country and brought disaster to the country! "
"That's why the leader asked me to come with you." said the priest.
"Don't worry, I brought our sect's treasure this time, so dealing with the 'Mountain God' won't be a problem."
The priest said firmly: "This time we must enter the tomb of King Xian and find the place where the king lived.
"All of you should go to the scorpion den and feed the poisonous insects."
"Yes"
When the people who were traveling with him heard his words, they all agreed with him in awe, as if the scorpion den was some kind of terrifying place.
Seeing that his subordinates were on high alert, the priest nodded in satisfaction and put the box he had been holding on his back.
"Let's go, Enkuan leads the way!"
"Yes, everyone follow me."
Enkuan led the people in the sect to Caiyun Inn.
Before leaving, Enkuan vaguely saw a figure floating in the depths of the dense forest.
After a careful look, he found nothing. Enkuan thought he had seen it wrong. He was dazed for a moment and then walked towards the village.
After they left, a man in a dark raincoat emerged from behind a tree and pulled out a walkie-talkie from his raincoat:
"The target appeared, eight people in total,"
"In addition to the people listed in the information, there is also an unidentified old man who seems to be their leader, and he is carrying a mysterious package."
······
Enkuan led the group and walked at the foot of the mountain for nearly half an hour until they were about to see the village.
Wet clothes sticking to the body always make people uncomfortable, and when they thought about changing into new clothes in the inn, they couldn't help but quicken their pace.
Unexpectedly, the high priest who was surrounded by them suddenly stopped.
As soon as he stopped, the whole team stopped too.
Enkuan asked, "Sacrifice?"
The priest looked at an old tree not far away.
On the bark of the old tree lies a cicada.
It was raining and thundering. Normally, this was the time when all insects were dormant, but against all common sense, there were cicadas that were sitting on the bark of the tree, not moving at all.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
The priest raised his hand, and a black mist flew out from his sleeves and drifted in all directions.
It looks like black fog, but it is actually made up of countless tiny poisonous insects.
This is a poison made from insect jade used for sacrifice. Like snakes, it can sense infrared rays.
Like a moth drawn to a flame, it will spontaneously attack things with high temperatures.
Once this thing touches a person's body, his skin, flesh and internal organs will immediately rot and turn into pus, leaving only a skeleton. That's why insect jade is also called rotten jade.
It is raining now, and the only warmth is on animals and people.
The purpose of releasing the insect jade Gu during the sacrifice is to check if there is anyone ambushing nearby.
As for whether the villagers in the village would be injured by mistake,
The priest doesn't care about such things.
The poisonous insect flew into the jungle, looking for a heat source.
In just a short while, a dark cloud made up of poisonous insects formed in the air, surrounding one place.
"well,"
Old Meng had no choice but to come out from his hiding place, and Hu Xiuwu followed behind him:
"Sure enough, my methods are still a little lacking. I wonder where I revealed the flaw that made you suspect a trap?"
Enkuan led his men to gather around him. One of their accomplices was still praising the high priest:
"The high priest's Gu is really powerful. He found the person in no time."
The high priest ignored the flattery of his men and looked serious instead.
His poison is not so "gentle". The Insect Jade Gu should directly launch a suicide attack after discovering the target.
I would never want to stay on a person's head like I do now without attacking.
The high priest felt a little uneasy and felt that things were out of control.
