Gu Xia's eyes widened, and he shook his head like a rattle: "I only heard the bamboos bursting in the fire. Other than that, I didn't hear anyone calling you. You are not letting your dreams satisfy you, right?"
I wiped the cold sweat subconsciously, wondering if I was hallucinating again.
"Dongsheng..."
The shouts started again.
This time I was sure that the shouting came from the direction of the bamboo forest.
I stood up immediately.
At the same time, I had a strong burning sensation in my left hand.
I quickly rolled up my sleeves and found a curved black insect on my left hand, ten centimeters long, constantly moving.
If you look closely, it looks like the shadow of a snake.
before this.
I have never seen such a pattern on my hand.
Could it be that after the evil spirit Gu fell on me, it was hidden in my left hand?
At this moment, Wei Shen Gu revealed his figure.
"Come to us quickly..."
Shouts came.
The snake shadow on my arm was moving, and the burning sensation was extremely strong.
"Let's go. Let's find that voice."
I endured the burning sensation and made up my mind to find out who was calling me.
"It seems like it's not an illusion anymore. Let's go take a look."
Gu Xia nodded.
We came out from behind the Corpse King Temple and entered the bamboo forest.
Occasionally, you can see green bamboo leaves hanging on the trees, and small white snakes gliding across the ground.
The bamboo forest is very large. After walking for half an hour, I still haven't left the bamboo forest.
The mottled bamboo shadows add a bit of coldness.
Finally, we stopped in front of a cave.
Although there are some dead bamboo branches piled at the entrance of the cave, it does not affect entry.
"Little doctor, the dog is trembling. This is really strange." Gu Xia said, and her face turned pale.
I took a look at the black dog.
The black native dog, which has always been very courageous, stared at the cave and could not stop trembling.
"Dongsheng...come in..."
The shout came from the cave in front of me.
I suddenly stirred up my spirit and used a bamboo stick to push aside the bamboo branches at the entrance of the cave.
Then, I used a torch to shine inside.
In the darkness, five sarcophagi came into view.
I suddenly shuddered in my heart.
"ah!"
After all, Gu Xia was a girl. When she suddenly saw five sarcophagi, she couldn't help but scream out and clutched my sleeve tightly.
"Young doctor, there is only a sarcophagus in the cave. Is it possible that the person who called you here is not a human being... Could there be zombies in the coffin? I dropped my talisman bag, and there are talismans in it to suppress corpses."
Gu Xia said tremblingly.
"He kept calling my name. He seemed to recognize me and would not harm me."
I also felt a little weak inside, and my forehead was covered in cold sweat.
I took a deep breath and walked inside.
Gu Xia held my sleeve tightly and followed me inside: "Even if it's a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, I'll go in with you."
Hearing this, my heart warmed.
After walking in.
The cave is not deep and you can see the bottom at a glance.
Five sarcophagi are displayed side by side facing east and west.
The area between the bottom of the sarcophagus and the ground is covered with moss and is completely connected.
It can be seen that the sarcophagus has been placed here for some years.
"Ah! Big scorpion."
Gu Xia lowered her voice and called out.
On the sarcophagus in the east is a strange hand covered with scorpion-like hard shells.
At first glance, it looks a bit like a big scorpion.
I just glanced at the entrance of the cave, and the scorpion's hard shell is dark brown, so I didn't see it.
Cold sweat broke out on my back.
I suddenly remembered that the look of this hand was very familiar.
I walked over quickly.
Gu Xia closed her eyes, pulled my sleeves, and followed me staggeringly.
Next to the sarcophagus in the east, there was a stiff corpse lying upside down, half of its body leaning on the side of the sarcophagus, kneeling on one knee.
One hand was on the ground, and the other was holding the lid of the sarcophagus.
The whole body is covered with scorpion shells.
Although I didn't see his face, I already confirmed his identity.
It's the scorpion monster Ma Tianluo.
I took a look at his head and confirmed that it was the bald Ma Tianluo.
Immediately, I put my hand on my neck to check for a pulse.
There is no heartbeat anymore.
When I fought against Ma Tianluo, I knew that even though he had turned into a scorpion monster, he still had a heartbeat.
There was no heartbeat at this moment, indicating that he had been dead for a long time.
Then, it will definitely not be him calling me to meet him.
"Miss Gu, it's not a big scorpion. It's the big Gu Master Ma Tianluo of Qingyadong. After being bitten by the residual scorpion, he relied on the poison of the live scorpion to maintain his life, so his whole body was covered with hard shells."
I said.
Gu Xia slowly opened his eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "He is Ma Tianluo. Then, why didn't he appear in the village last night, and how could he die here?"
"I'm also confused. Ma Tianluo said that he came to Poison Mountain to take revenge. If all his enemies were in coffins, there would be no revenge."
I shook my head.
Then, I handed the torch to Gu Xia.
Then, I imitated Ma Tianluo's posture and did it again.
I understand.
He wanted to push away the sarcophagus.
But before this action was completed, he was suddenly attacked by a sneak attack and died.
The whole time was very short.
In addition, Ma Tianluo is originally a living dead, and his body is relatively stiff.
Therefore, he kept pushing the coffin with all his strength.
"Ma Tianluo has eaten poisonous scorpions for many years, and he can fight with one of the five poisonous poisons in my body. How could he die in an instant?"
I muttered to myself.
My attention fell on the sarcophagus.
My pupils suddenly dilated, there must be something terrifying in this sarcophagus.
It is such a terrifying thing that even people like Ma Tianluo who are poisonous will die in an instant.
Even if it's not an instant death.
The terrifying thing in the sarcophagus also controlled him.
Keeping him unable to move.
Eventually he lost his life.
"Miss Gu, please step back. There must be something very scary inside this sarcophagus."
I signaled Gu Xia to retreat.
Gu Xia controlled his breathing and backed away.
I took a deep breath and said respectfully: "Dongsheng, the son of Long Miaoyun, the grandson of Camellia Cave's dragon-turned-phoenix, is here to visit me today. I don't know who's treasure house is here. What's the purpose of this summons?"
At this moment, the shouting disappeared again.
I just felt my scalp was numb and my whole body was sweating.
"There are some words on the stone wall to the east."
Gu Xia stretched out his hand and pointed.
I squinted my eyes and looked at it for a long time, but there were actually words.
We walked over and took a look.
The beginning is "The five great Gu kings are buried here."
