Chapter 12
Shang Qingyun pulled my sleeve and signaled me not to stay in front of the relief. I took a picture and walked with him to the exit.
The further I went, I saw the long-lost light.
We walked out of the corridor and suddenly realized.
Seeing the scenery in front of me, I actually forgot that we are still underground.
This is a truly lively country with lush grass, sunshine, and houses, every time there are several acres of fertile land, and a moat surrounded by abundant hydrology. There are also good shops and trellis on the streets.
The only thing that is inconsistent is that there is no one here, which makes me a little scared.
It is like the whole city is alive, but lives invisible to the naked eye.
My monk, green clouds, strolled on the silk-paved street, as if walking in the clouds, light and fluttering.
I observed around and stopped in front of one of the pavilions where pottery utensils were placed, such as gui (gui is a large bowl), yu (yan), fu (fu is a rectangular utensil for serving food) and jue,
etc.
I put on white gloves and wanted to reach out to pick up one of the pottery to study. For archaeologists, pottery is often more valuable for research than gold, silver and jade.
Before I touched the pottery bowl, a strange-looking insect suddenly popped out of the bowl.
I was caught off guard and was bitten by the tiger's mouth.
The insect's teeth were also sharp and it actually pierced the white gloves.
I was in pain and shook my hand violently. The insect was thrown to the ground by me and ran away with a scream of pain.
"What's wrong?" Shang Qingyun noticed my strangeness.
"It's okay, I'm just bitten by a bug."
"Word?" Shang Qingyun frowned his faint eyebrows, took two steps in front of me, and took off the gloves from my hand.
I found that the place where I had just been bitten by the insects had no wounds at all, nor was there any redness or swelling.
"No problem, right?" As I asked this question, I seemed to be drunk.
He was dizzy and saw Shang Qingyun's body becoming crooked, and then he was divided into several.
I shook my head, trying to make myself more awake.
But when I looked at it again, Shang Qingyun was gone.
Instead, it is a scene that looks like a mirage.
Countless people in retro clothes appeared in front of me. They lived like ordinary people, eating, talking, laughing, and playing. These people and I seemed to overlap from two time and space.
I can see them, but I can't feel their existence.
These people are between reality and reality, and I am not just an existence, but more like a photographer carrying a camera, but the lens is my eyes.
My vision was uncontrollably focused and advanced forward, and passed through the crowds of people.
At the end of the street, I saw a beautifully dressed woman.
She seemed to see me, and opened her arms to me.
And I really felt a hint of soft warmth.
Half dreams and half awake, I heard the sound of "silk squeaking".
I woke up from the warmth and opened my eyes.
A human-shaped silkworm hung upside down, facing my face.
She smiled first, then opened her suction cup-like mouth.
I was shocked and held my breath. Now I seemed to be trapped in the pupae, with my hands and feet crossing in strange postures, but I didn't feel any discomfort, just couldn't move.
With the strength of my waistline that I have been single for many years, I kept swinging and rotating to the left and back, causing the thread connecting the cocoons that bound me to twist and the beam, which slightly depleted its durability.
Finally, before my physical strength was about to run out, the silver wire broke.
Fortunately, these silk threads are not as tough as woven silk, and they should look like they are freshly spun raw silk.
I saw that there was a protrusion on the flat stone slab on the ground, which was swept up when the silver wire broke and was about to fall. The cocoon of insects broke down with the thread and fell down, and was hitting the protruding small tip.
The cocoon broke a hole.
With the gap, the insect cocoon becomes very fragile. What's better luck is that this gap just allows one of my legs to stretch out, and the knots tied between my legs will naturally be untied. One of my legs will stretch out the gap as the fulcrum as the center of gravity.
The other leg kicked the insect cocoon.
With a click, I stepped on the bottom of the insect cocoon. I drilled out of the hole, but I always felt like I was rolling around on a nail board, thorny and itchy, but I was the one I had before.
The strange bug bit the tiger's mouth in the left hand was nothing unusual.
Now Liu Sa and Erpang are missing, and Shang Qingyun is gone. What's worse is that all the equipment on me has been taken away, and there is not even a single self-defense tool.
I confirmed that I was in a closed wooden house, and there were countless human-shaped silkworm pupa hanging on the beams of the roof.
There is no light from the outside in the dark environment. All the light sources come from the cocoons of silkworms and worms, spreading throughout the roof.
Although this is a wooden house, it is enough to be called a luxury villa. It can be seen from the hundreds of human-shaped silkworm pupae on the roof.
I was confused and didn't know how I came here. Just now, my monk Qingyun was still on the streets of the country of Voila. He just took a bite by a strange insect and had a mirage-like hallucination.
In a blink of an eye, I became a silkworm pupa and hung on the roof, and my five senses were realistic, which was definitely not an illusion.
I looked around the room in the dark, without any exit or even a vent. The whole room was like a bellows raising insects.
Wait, bellows?
I had a flash of inspiration. If it was really a super large box, then finding a "door" would not be that complicated.
According to my expectations, I fumbled carefully on the walls on all sides, and sure enough, there was a tight gap on the walls on both sides.
I speculate that this should be a box where human pupa is placed for cocoons. This is the point of fit between the box lid and the box. Depending on the situation, the box lid should be embedded with a mortise and tenon structure.
Although I found the box cover, the most troublesome problem at the moment is that this "box" is so big that I can't push it open with my strength.
I squatted on the ground and was extremely upset. Now I can really say that I am not responding to it every day, and that the earth and earth are not effective.
I really admire the people in the stories told by my grandfather who stood up for the sake of protecting the national treasures... I suddenly remembered one of the stories my grandfather told me in the past!
It is said that once he followed the team to protect national treasures and went deep into the underground ruins of the former Shang Bodu, but was trapped in Bodu for many days.
When they were at a loss, their grandfather came up to create an exit using the mechanism of the underground palace, and used the rotten worms to open a passage underground to find out the location of the main tomb.
As for the details, it's a long story.
For me, the most important thing is to go out here to find Liu Sa and the second fat monk Qingyun.
Since this box is used to store human-shaped silkworms with cocoons, it must be closely related to the box if it is opened.
I thought of a more reliable possibility. If these human-shaped silkworms emerge from their cocoons, will the box be opened to give them a chance to leave and deposit new silkworm pupae at the same time?
If this is the case, I should be able to take this opportunity to escape.
Although I don’t know the principle behind this, I can only take a gamble at this time.
I looked up and saw the female silkworm pupa with her mouth open just now. Could it be that she was waiting for someone to feed her?
I saw the broken cocoon on the ground at a glance, picked up a few pieces of debris, aimed at them and threw them into its mouth.
The mouth of the suction cup was eaten into the broken cocoon and immediately closed it. Then I watched the protruding head shrink into the cocoon bit by bit, and the round mouth left behind formed a cocoon at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then, the bright blue light attached to the cocoon shell disappeared instantly.
I realized what was going to happen and immediately pushed it to the corner and became hidden.
At this time, the huge insect cocoon was changing inside, and a dazzling red light lit up from the center of the insect cocoon, and the red light flickered and disappeared. At the same time, the entire box was following the red light under my feet, around me, and the whole box was following the red light
The flash shock.
The cocoon of insects is like a beating heart, thumping and thumping.
After several shaking, I vaguely saw a human shadow appearing in the red light in the insect cocoon. She first curled up like a baby sitting in the placenta.
Then slowly stretch it out, until the top of the head and toes press against the end of the worm cocoon, and the back fits perfectly on one side of the cocoon in a perfect curve.
Then the deafening insects and the red light ebbed at the same time. The sound was so loud that it was like hundreds of summer cicadas lying in their ears and chirping, which made me dizzy.
In this harsh croaking insects, I heard the sound of something breaking open again. I avoided the dazzling red light and found that the cocoon had white powder falling from the cocoon, and two thin pieces pierced the cocoon.
.
That is the wings of the silkworm moth! Because it is huge and has a strong red light, I can see the subtle white hairs on it.
The pair of wings were like a pair of powerful hands, tearing open the strong insect cocoon and dragging its body out of the insect cocoon.
At this time, the body of the human moth is no longer a human face except for its human form.
The cherry's mouth turned into thick lips hanging on her face, her sharp teeth were exposed, and her eyes, which were originally peaceful and tightly closed, were wide open, revealing red compound eyes, staring at me tightly.
I was discovered by it!
I thought human moth would inherit the habits of silkworm moths and leave after searching for light, but I didn't expect it to be bloodthirsty!
The moth spread its wings and swooped towards me with a strange cry.
I was so anxious that I rolled to the side and dodged the sudden pounce. The human moth hit the box cover behind me, and actually knocked the box cover into a hole.
I took advantage of the situation to catch one of the feet of the human moth. The human moth yelled and struggled in the air. Even though it slammed around, I just grabbed its ankle tightly and did not let go. Finally, the human moth broke through with anger.
The box took me out of this closed bellows.
The man moth flew all the way to the capital of Ousi Country, and I realized that I was just outside the city of Ousi Country.
I looked back and watched the boxes that were gradually moving away. It turned out that the dazzling "starlights" I had seen before were actually these boxes that placed cocoons and pupae, and their light was emitted by these insect cocoons.
