Chapter 51

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

Xiao Jin and Xiao Zhou were both hesitant and did not dare to say that they would follow. They should be afraid of those bugs. Xiao Jin said to Professor Ma: "Professor, something has happened to the two team leaders. You are the person in charge of this inspection. If you have anything else, our topic will be over!"

Professor Ma smiled at Xiao Jin and said, "I have been studying the ancients of Toad Cave for half my life. I can die in this matter. Those topics and other issues are not important to me."

Xiao Jin's face changed and she didn't say anything.

Professor Ma does not value those topics, but Xiao Jin attaches great importance to them. He is still young and urgently needs some project results to enrich his "life resume", which will be of great benefit to his future development.

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

But I soon realized that his mind was not what I saw through, but the snake king pendant in his chest. It emitted a faint heat and passed on an emotion to me. This emotion contained Xiao Jin's real thoughts. He was not concerned about Professor Ma, but his own topic.

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

After knowing this, I felt a little disgusted with that little gold.

Xiao Zhou also came to persuade Professor Ma at this time, but it was fruitless.

This time, the Snake King fell without any reaction. Maybe Xiao Zhou was sincere.

After Professor Ma talked with his students, Tian Sihan smiled and said, "Professor Ma, don't follow us anymore. Those bugs are unusual."

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. The superior said you are an insect expert, but I know in my heart that you are an expert in "Gu". With you, I will probably not have any trouble. Besides, I just watched from a distance and will never get too close to you, let alone hinder you."

Hearing Professor Ma say this, Tian Sihan hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, when you get there, you must keep a distance of more than twenty meters from us."

Professor Ma nodded, then brought flashlights, shovels and other tools to guide us in front.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Zhou were left to guard the camp.

Along the way, Professor Ma said 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 the cave are the things they sacrifice. I think they may be a group of people who use insects as their totems."

Tian Sihan said: "It's Gu!"

Professor Ma said: "Yes, by the way, I use Gu as the totem. Of course, this is just my guess. I can't produce more evidence to prove my guess, so I must follow you. You must know Gu very well. At that time, I hope you can tell me the situation of those Gu in detail, or give me a detailed information about those Gu. I hope to find valuable information from those Gu information."

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

Listening to the conversation between Professor Ma and Tian Sihan, I felt that those two people were old-fashioned people.

After a while, we arrived near a raised mountain bag. Professor Ma pointed to the mountain bag and said, "The entrance of the cave is there. We have explored it several times nearby, but the insects basically don't leave the cave."

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

Professor Ma didn't ask anything, so he asked Tian Sihan to wipe it out for him.

After applying it, Tian Sihan said: "This is a kind of feces of a worm. It has no strange smell, but a little jasmine fragrance. Applying it on your body can prevent being bitten by other worms. Don't move around here."

The feces of the insects!?

Although there is no smell, it always feels a little disgusting when applied to the body.

But Professor Ma disagreed and nodded to Tian Sihan and said, "Thank you, I won't move."

I thought again, the feces can prevent biting the insects from being bitten, so should we apply it a little too? After listening to Professor Ma's narration, the person who imitated the poison of the insects and poison in the toad cave will not be very good.

Thinking of this, I asked Tian Sihan if he could apply some to us.

Tian Sihan threw the bamboo tube directly at me and said, "You guys look at Tu."

I quickly did as I did. When I applied it, I secretly put the white powder in front of my nose and smelled it. It really smelled.

After I applied it to myself, I went to apply it to Mai Xiaorou.

Mai Xiaorou looked at me and said, "Look at you, your face turned red, you..."

Halfway through the conversation, Mai Xiaorou suddenly closed her mouth again, probably thinking about Grandpa Mai again, but then again, every time Mai Xiaorou teased me, I felt a little different. When she said half of the words just now, I felt that way again, but she quickly suppressed it again.

I couldn't help but wonder, did Mai Xiaorou tease me, but was bewitched by some kind of power in her body every time!?

The most questionable force in Mai Xiaorou's body is the "corpse". Could it be that the corpse poison in Mai Xiaorou's body is caused by it?

I didn't ask Mai Xiaorou about these words. After applying them to Mai Xiaorou, I returned the bamboo tube to Tian Sihan, and he directly put them away.

I asked him why he didn't wipe it.

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

As he said that, he took the lead in walking towards Xiaoshanbao. After walking a few steps, he did not forget to turn around and let Mai Xiaorou and I follow.

Walking behind Tian Sihan, I gradually became nervous.

I remembered again the situation of crawling in the room of the Three Saint Dao Guworms. Before I could walk to the toad cave, goose bumps on my body became.

Soon, we arrived at the front of the cave. Tian Sihan took out the flashlight that Professor Ma gave me and shone it into the cave. The hole was not deep, and you could see the head at once. There were many traces of excavation in the cave, and there were also some places where small flags were inserted to mark.

After a closer look, we found no signs of a worm.

Tian Sihan took the flashlight and said for a while: "It's true. They are also amazing if they can choose the place where the Gu is buried."

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

Tian Sihan said: "This small hill bun is the most abundant place nearby. Even the nearby spiritual energy will automatically flow to this side, and then erupt from this small hill bun and then flow back to various places. This is a natural spiritual gathering place."

I was curious about what is a place to gather spirits.

Mai Xiaorou explained to me next to me: "Literally, places where spiritual energy are gathered are very rare, and only some spiritual mountain caves will be there."

Tian Sihan continued: "In fact, when the real toad cave was dug decades ago, semi-fossils of insects were found in the cave. After researching, it was confirmed that those insects were not ordinary insects, but Gu containing human blood. The ancients of the Toad Cave started raising Gu a long time ago."

"Raising Gu is risky. Sometimes there will be situations where the Gu insects are out of control, so some of the ancients in the Toad Cave died because the Gu insects are out of control."

"After this incident happened continuously, the ancients of Toad Cave began to oppose raising Gu, and the people who raised Gu were also expelled by others, so some ancients of Toad Cave moved away, and the people who built civilization here were the group of Gu raised people who moved from Toad Cave."

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

Tian Sihan said: "Although the ancients of Toad Cave had no words, they already had simple painting skills. They used simple painting to tell us this story. And this series of painting stories have been unearthed from the real Toad Cave and were carved on several stone slabs. Later, for some reason, the stone slabs were hidden, which became a secret, and only a few people knew it."

"If I guess correctly, Professor Ma is one of the few. He kept investigating the matter through the stone slab and then found the source."

I said curiously: "Then why didn't he say that just now?"

Tian Sihan said: "Everyone said it was a secret, how could it be that it could be told to others casually?"

I asked him again how he knew about the stone slab. Tian Sihan said: "If I come to this case, I must go through all the information, including the stone slab. I have my own way."

Mai Xiaorou and I didn't say anything. Tian Sihan continued: "In addition to recording the story of this migration, the last stone slab also records something, saying that those Gu-raising people took away a supreme treasure from the ancients of Toad Cave when they migrated. Because they lost that treasure, the real ancients of Toad Cave lost their shelter and were often attacked by wild animals, and then slowly became extinct."

baby!?

If the Gun-raising man took him away, the treasure should have been hidden in the migration place of the Gun-raising man, that is, the land where we stand.

Tian Sihan continued: "Actually, in my opinion, since those Gu raising people were expelled, they could not take away their real treasures. I think what they took away should be things related to the "Gu". It turns out that the people who protected the ancient people of Toad Cave were also Gu. It is precisely because of the lack of Gu that the ancient people of Toad Cave were tragically extinct."

"And that thing related to Gu is most likely buried in this imitation toad cave!"

"By the way, that Professor Ma might have come for that baby!"

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but look back at Professor Ma in the distance, with an elusive smile on his face. (To be continued)
