Chapter 43 The Three Seedlings of Bashu

"Let me introduce it." Liu Sa stood up and took the initiative to act as the referee and introduced us one by one to the head of the Liu family's hometown.

"This person is Zhang Erpang, whose name is Zhang Xinan. We all met in the underground palace."

"This person is Ah Hui, and he also met in the underground palace. Many years ago, Tongyuan used the 'shen water' he obtained from the Yu King's Palace to conduct human experiments. He was the only survivor to win the title."

"This one is the true disciple of the Incense Division of the Taiyi Sect of Wudang, Shang Qingyun and Taoist Master Shang Xiao."

"The last one is Chen Siyu, grandpa, you want to meet. My junior~" I stood up and bowed to the master of Liu's hometown solemnly. He smiled at me and signaled me to sit down.

"It's okay, you don't need to be polite. You are basically intimate with our nine-generation families. Just treat me as your elders and your home."

After comforting us, the old master looked at me: "Can you show me your hands?"

I nodded, walked forward, and handed the hand that had been bitten by the insect to the owner of my hometown.

The old master stretched out a rough hand from under the blanket, holding my hand with wrinkles, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then concluded: "This is not an ordinary Gu."

Of course I know that it is not an ordinary Gu. How can an ordinary Gu become a monster after being hit: "It is a human moth Gu."

The owner of the hometown shook his head: "The Liu family also sent people to the Haiyan Dragon Palace before. The first group of people went there, and there were heavy casualties. Many people died because of the human moth Gu. What you are in is not an ordinary human moth Gu."

The head of my hometown turned the chair and moved to the bookshelf in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He found a book called "Records of Tomb Variants Diseases" from it and found one of the pages.

At this time, the old butler stepped forward to take over the spread record book. He found a remote control from the drawer, pressed the button, and with a dripping sound, a curtain drooped from the back wall on the right side of the hall, and a ceiling on the roof popped up automatically, and a projector was hung out.

The old housekeeper shared the records on the screen so that each of us could see clearly.

This is a manuscript of records.

The recording time was in June 1942. The person responsible for the dissection and autopsy was named Hua Disheng. At that time, the surface filing of this record was conducted under the name of a poison gas experiment against the invaders.

On the first page of the report, there are only a few lines of words, and the main body is a photo.

Experimental subject: Liu Kunhe

Preliminary diagnosis: specific infection with skin cancer

Specific symptoms: initial swelling occurs throughout the body, ineffective pore secretion function, and suppuration occurs throughout the body

The pustules automatically rupture in the middle stage, and gray spots and white velvets grow.

One to three days after the strange spots appeared, the patient's face mutations, his pupils were filled with insect compound eyes, and he was congested, and his mouth was covered with flesh and whiskers.

In the late stage, if you lose your mind, you will start attacking others, eat only mulberry leaves, and spit out bloody silk threads, which will continue.

It was judged that the patient spitted out the silk thread, which was visceral fibrosis.

The experimental observation photos are attached below. Although the photos are black and white and have been blurred, I feel frightened when I see the patient turn into a human moth step by step and spit out bleeding and silk.

"Siyu, describe your symptoms after being infected with the poison."

I repeated the story of how I was bitten by insects in Ossi Country, then escaped from the cocoon box, and how I molted my skin many times to save my life.

The room suddenly became silent.

Erpang stared at me, keeping "I'm lying, I'm lying, I'm lying", and finally ran over excitedly to grab my shoulder and said, "Okay, you, salted fish. If you go to the tomb in the future, you will be blocked in front of you. Anyway, you can be as phoenix-like Nirvana, and you will not die. You are born with a flesh shield."

I gave him a blank look and pushed Erpang away.

At this time, the old butler took out a plate from somewhere, and opened the lid and was filled with mulberry leaves.

Liu Sa picked up a mulberry leaf and shook it in front of me: "Come on, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, junior brother, look at this. Do you have appetite~"

Are you teasing the dog?

I was so angry that I was so angry that I said: "No!"

"Yeah, I'm going to bite people, and I still say no."

"It seems that you are not an ordinary Gu, or an ordinary human moth Gu." The head of the old hometown thought for a moment, turned his chair and returned to his desk. He searched in the pile of documents for a long time, and finally took out a map.

This is not an ordinary map. It not only marks the important places of each city, but also clearly marks the ancient tombs currently discovered by the Nine Clans and the contact points of the Nine Clans in each city.

In addition, there are activity points written on the map with various ethnic minorities.

"I don't have much research on Gu, so I can't provide you with substantial help, but I can help you with a way." The owner of Liu's hometown pointed at the southwest of the map with his fingers, to be precise, in Sichuan. "Go to Bashu, where the oldest black seedlings live."

"Black, what is black seedling?" Ah Hui asked.

The head of Liu's hometown sat upright and said: "In the past, Huangdi and Chiyou fought in a battle with each other, but Chiyou was defeated and killed. Huangdi wanted to clear the Jiuli tribe left by Chiyou, but his generals urged Huangdi to treat others with virtue, so he asked to take the Jiuli people back to his tent and teach the Jiuli people the magic of taming hundreds of beasts.

Later, Li Mu resigned and retired, and the people of Jiuli were willing to guard the tomb for Li Mu.

It was not until the reign of Emperor Yao that his son Danzhu rebelled against Jiuli and established himself as the San Miao, namely Baimeng, Black Miao and Flower Sprouts. Nowadays, ancient flower seedlings have almost extinct, and most white and black Miao are divided into white, green, red Miao and Flower Sprouts, living in western Hunan, Yunnan and other places. These Miao people have long been conquered by the Han people and abandoned the witchcraft left by their predecessors.

But a long time ago, a group of black Miao left the San Miao tribe and went to Bashu, and they are the only tribe that still retains the complete witchcraft inherited by their ancestors."

After listening to the introduction of Master Liu's home, I was able to roughly connect the murals in Limuling.

Li Mu's confidant family were the Jiuli people, and later the Sanmiao of the Southern Barbarians.

At first, their original wish was just to be a benefactor, but Danzhu fell in love with the magical arts mastered by the Jiuli people, so he deceived the trust of the woman buried in the coffin of Limu and mastered the magical art of raising Gu.

In fact, the so-called Jiuli people turned into monsters is not a heavenly punishment.

But Danzhu did it. He turned the Jiuli people who did not obey him into a monster. The woman knew that she had committed a serious crime, so she introduced all the Jiuli people who had changed into Limuling. I guess this was Limu's guess before he was alive that someone might covet the magic he left, so he left a backup plan.

As for the remaining Jiuli people, they followed Danzhu to rebel, and were finally defeated by Yao and expelled to the south.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered a weird thing in Limu Mausoleum: "By the way, my hometown master. I remembered that in the coffin of the tomb of the Lord of Limu Mausoleum, the one who was buried was not the great god Limu, but a woman. Could it be that Limu's corpse had been stolen?"

The old master sighed: "I also know this. Many years ago, the people sent by the Nine Aristocratic families to find out, but there is no answer yet. I guess there are only two possibilities: one is a suspicious tomb there, and the other is that Li Mu's corpse has been stolen by Tongyuan. Compared to the latter, I hope that we just haven't found the real Li Mu Mu Mausoleum."

"Grandpa, let's talk to us. What kind of organization is this Tongyuan? We have been under its 'care' all the way."

The head of the old master Liu nodded: "Anyway, you are already insiders.

As far as I know, this Tongyuan is a cross-international tomb robbery organization. They have a long history, which is so long that it can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty.

At that time, there was a group of Confucian scholars who specialized in digging graves. "Zhuangzi. Foreign Things" mentioned that there was a dialogue between two Confucian scholars, talking about how to dig ancient tombs.

Although many people now think that Zhuang Zhou is satirizing Confucianism, there was actually such a group of people at that time. However, they did not blatantly call themselves Confucian scholars, but rather non-governmental organizations hidden among various vassal states.

These people each have supernatural abilities, but they all have a unified skill, that is, dig a hole on the ground and put a coin on the ground. By passing through the soil in the center of the coin, you can judge whether there are ancient tombs underground and their year.

To this day we don’t know what the principle of this method is.

Later, this folk tomb robbery organization grew stronger and stronger. By the end of the Han Dynasty, the famous King of Wei Cao Cao established a tomb robbery organization. I think you young people know it."

"The Golden Captain?" I blurted out.

"Yes." The head of the hometown nodded, "But the so-called gold-touching lieutenant is actually just an official position of Tongyuan organization. Their specific responsibility is to go deep into the tombs to search for treasures. Their methods are extremely simple and violent, just like troops charging on the battlefield. The people who make plans behind them are truly terrible, and those people are Tongyuan.

Cao Cao also practiced under a Tongyuan sect in his early years, and he himself was a member of Tongyuan."

The head of the hometown took a sip of water and continued: "During the war, Tongyuan once stole national treasures from the puppet Manchukuo and sold them. When the Forbidden City was broken, they followed Emperor Xuantong to loot all the national treasures of the Qing treasury. Until now, they have not been able to recover them all. When the Old Summer Palace was robbed by the Eight-Nation Alliance, Tongyuan also participated.

As early as when Zheng He went to the West in the Ming Dynasty, Tongyuan had already spread his power abroad.

The Nine Aristocratic Family has been pursuing Tongyuan. Not only the Nine Aristocratic Family, but also the Four Sects, Five Buddha Temples, and the Three Sects and Nine Aristocratic Family have participated in pursuing Tongyuan, but they have found nothing.

Until decades ago, we found a subsidiary of Tongyuan in the country.”

"Fangyuan Marine Fisheries Group Corporation?"

"That's right."

Liu Sa and the others looked back at me, but only Ah Hui turned his head and said, "How did you know?"

I pointed at Ah Hui: "The wreck that I found Ah Hui is under Fangyuan."

"Tongyuan seems to have been looking for something. We have found out that both of them stole from the Haiyan Dragon Palace were related to one person."

"Who?"

The eyes of the old master suddenly dimmed: "Don't worry about this matter for now. What you should do now is to pack your luggage and prepare to go to Bashu. I gave you this map and arranged a guide for you. When you arrive in Chengdu, you only need to find him, and he will naturally take you to the Heimiao station."

Liu Sa took the map from the table of the hometown owner, and we saluted and said goodbye to the hometown owner one by one.

Before leaving, the master of Liu's hometown called me: "Siyu, I know you really want to know where your grandfather and your parents are going, but as an elder, I would like to advise you not to participate in this matter. This is for your safety. Tongyuan is not something you children can deal with."

"I understand, thank you." I bowed again to thank you, then retreated and closed the door at the same time.

As the door slowly closed, I accidentally saw a bookcase on one side facing the wall automatically moved away. A secret door appeared on the wall that was originally empty, and a figure came out from the secret door.
