On the other side, the soldiers who had just entered the imperial mausoleum were attacked by a large number of black beetles. Those soldiers had no room to resist as the beetles burrowed into their flesh and died in pain.
"Captain, there are so many bugs, what should I do?"
"Many brothers have been attacked!"
"No, save me, save me quickly!! Ah!!!" A soldier accidentally got an insect burrowed into his skin.
The soldiers shouted in panic and kept waving the swords in their hands.
The captain of the team watched countless black beetles swarming towards them. He, who had always been steady, also wanted to retreat. The imperial mausoleum was like a giant beast devouring human life. He watched the men around him fall one after another.
He yelled: "Back off! Back off!"
The insects chased them to the entrance of the tomb and stopped pursuing them. The soldiers escaped from the tomb in a mess, but some soldiers were still attacked by the insects.
"Ah! It hurts, it hurts!" A soldier yelled crazily, tearing at his clothes. His naked body had bulges visible to the naked eye, and black beetles were skewered in the flesh.
"Hurry up and hold him down, hold him down!" Several people rushed forward and almost couldn't hold him down. The captain took out his dagger and gritted his teeth to pick away the moving meat bag on the soldier's body.
A black beetle ran out of the wound, and everyone stamped their feet in fear. They were relieved until it was trampled into flesh. The man was lucky enough to survive.
But for some people, it is already too late, and the worms enter their brains and die.
The news quickly reached Nangong Mingyuan. He stared at the guard captain kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face, biting his silver teeth and cursed secretly: You will hurt me even after you die, you old immortal!
As everyone knows, everything about the imperial mausoleum will only be fully disclosed when the heir gets married. This is also to prevent anyone from being disloyal and using bad means to obtain the holy Gu.
Holy Gu is a rare thing in the world. It can detoxify, control poisonous insects and understand people's thoughts. With him, he can control a large number of Gu insects. This is the foundation of Nanqing.
"Attack with fire!" Nangong Mingyuan was cruel. Even if he couldn't get the holy Gu, he couldn't take advantage of others. The current plan was to burn down the imperial mausoleum.
The construction of the imperial mausoleum is very special. It is fireproof, waterproof and anti-theft. It is all made of hard bluestone. If you want to enter from the outside, not to mention the layers of sealing soil, even without these, just the bluestone is enough for them to drink a pot.
He urgently summoned all the ministers and said with a sad expression: "My dear friends, I have some bad news to tell you."
All the ministers looked at each other in confusion, but some people heard some news and their expressions became heavy.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?" The veteran of the Three Dynasties stood up tremblingly on crutches, his cloudy eyes staring at his every expression. He had always been a royalist.
He had always been very supportive of the eldest prince, and he could not believe that something like this happened. The death of the monarch soon made him even more suspicious.
Nangong Mingyuan knew that if he could capture this old minister, he would be sure of the throne, so he immediately said respectfully: "Teacher Yan, someone broke into the imperial mausoleum and stole the holy Gu."
He glanced at him hesitantly, paused for a moment and said sadly: "These people were sent by my brother."
"What? Entering the Imperial Tomb? How presumptuous! Our Nanqing Imperial Tomb is actually so easy to enter!" Anger rose on Mr. Yan's wrinkled face.
Then he stated his purpose and said solemnly to all the ministers: "My dear friends, you also know that my father died suddenly and many things were not explained, so I beg you to help me and help Nan.
Qing.”
The sudden depression made them all stunned. It was the first time that a monarch asked them for help. His attitude was sincere and his eyes were clear.
"Your Majesty, I will do my best!" This show of weakness was very effective, and the ministers began to read historical records and information on the construction of the imperial mausoleum.
…
At the same time, Su Yining and others had been trapped in the hall for a day, and the black beetles outside were still wandering around.
"Princess, this is not the solution." Leng Yi looked at her anxiously. The prince was still in the so-called space and had not eaten anything all day and night.
Of course she knew what the other person was anxious about, and she would definitely not say that she had entered the space when she went to the toilet.
Ever since she came in, she had been thinking about ways to hide these bugs.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain!" She opened the palace door and walked to the steps of the main hall, squatting on the steps to tease the insects.
Bugs are very aggressive, and every time they are stung, they will make a "squeaking" sound, somewhat like a cicada sound.
Also with her is Li Chuan, both of whom are studying how to restrict it.
"Li Chuan, do you think they are afraid of fire?"
"Afraid! But we can't become pyromaniacs. The temperature of the torch alone can't stop it."
Li Chuan is absolutely right. They cannot turn into burning men and walk in the tomb. How can they wrap themselves up?
Suddenly she remembered that there were several boxes of wind essential oil in the space... This thing has a very unique smell and a long-lasting smell. Why not give it a try?
She took out the small glass bottle and threw it directly among the insects.
"Bang!" A strong smell of mint spread out. She wasn't sure whether the insect had a sense of smell, but she was just bored and tried it. Unexpectedly, the black beetle directly exploded the group!
The black beetles seemed to be very afraid of this smell, or disgusted with it. A group of black bugs fled in all directions. The smell of the wind essential oil exploded and turned the ground into a vacuum.
Li Chuan froze in shock, tilted his head and looked directly at her, blinked and said, "Princess, you are such a magical person!"
It seems that they have found the secret of the Nanqing royal family. The eldest prince will probably wear some mint-flavored sachets on the day of his wedding, so that those black beetles will not attack them.
Next, each of their bodies was wrapped in the scent of wind essential oil. The first person to go down to do the experiment was Leng Yi, who took the lead.
"Princess, let my subordinates try it first before you come down!" Now Leng Yi completely admired her and was afraid that she would have any problems.
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly used Qinggong and went straight to the place where the black beetles were most numerous. Before he fell to the ground, those bugs fled in all directions like they were avoiding the God of Plague, unwilling to stay around him for more than a moment.
Moreover, there are no bugs coming back wherever they go, which shows how good the effect is.
With the blessing of wind essential oil, the group of people could move smoothly in the imperial mausoleum. Such an imperial mausoleum is also beneficial. There are no mechanisms, and the only defense is the black beetle. Now the black beetle sees them and has no time to hide like the plague god.
"We've searched everywhere, we've looked in every tomb, but there's no place for the Holy Gu!" Several people walked around the place and checked every monarch's tomb, but there was still no place.
At this time, they were already in the back hall. Su Yining took out a pot and started to light a fire to make food. She was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back.
Not long after, the aroma of meat spread in the air, and everyone's stomachs began to growl, and they gathered around the campfire worried.
While they were drinking broth, a small snow-white snake suddenly appeared behind them...
