Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Chapter 62 Guarding Palace Sand (Part 1)

Fatty and I had an idea in our minds: "Python bones"? The skull is very similar to that of a python. I can't figure out what it is used for. Why would a python need to store such a precious and precious thing? I heard that snakes can be brewed into wine. Could it be that python bones can also be brewed into wine? We held up the candle head and looked down from above. As soon as we saw the tail bone, we immediately understood that it was the bone of a golden-scaled cockroach. This was better than what we met in the crematorium. But it is much bigger. It seems that there were at least two in the Hundred-Eyed Cave. The one that fell into the crematorium was considered unlucky. The venomous snake and the venomous locust are actually most afraid of oil smoke. It will be sooner or later that it dies in the furnace. , I originally planned that if we could survive this test, we would collect the carcass and debone the poisonous locust. It is extremely valuable and can be exchanged for foreign currency. It will make a huge contribution to supporting the world revolution. If it can be compared with the loss of cattle, If the merits outweigh the demerits, perhaps Lao Yangpi and Ding Sitian will not be blamed.

The fat man asked me if this was an antidote. I shook my head and said: "Every creature in the world is one thing that can defeat another thing. I have never heard that one can defeat himself. It should be common knowledge that locust bones cannot detoxify locust poison..." I said these words, and my heart felt like it. After sinking to the bottom of the sea, I couldn't help but raise my hand to touch the glass bottle containing the earthworm bones in disappointment. Unexpectedly, the candlelight shone on my hand, and the back of my hand was covered with thin red rashes. The fat man also hurriedly raised his own I looked at my hand and found that it was the same as me. The two of us suddenly felt like we were showered with snow water. This was probably because we were poisoned by corpse ginseng.

But before we had time to feel sad, we found that in the dim light of the candle end, the two palms we raised reflected the shadows of three palms on the glass bottle. I thought it was due to the reflection of the glass, but there seemed to be something in it. It was weird, so I pressed the fat man's hand down. There was still a shadow of a hand behind the glass wall in front of me, stretched out motionlessly. The fat man and I involuntarily took half a step back. There was a direction in the storage cabinet. The dead we hold out our palms to? Or... someone is imitating our actions behind our back? I hurriedly looked back and saw nothing unusual. The fat man raised his hand again and shook it at the glass. The shadow of the palm on the bottle was still motionless. There seemed to be a dead person in the storage bottle.

I leaned out and walked around the earthworm storage bottle to see why there was a dead body in the bottle. At this time, the fat man suddenly patted me from behind: "Stop looking, that little hand seems to be in the cabinet."

I turned around and looked at the fat man. He was holding a candle and raised his hand to point into the surprisingly large specimen storage cabinet. I looked in the direction he pointed. Although the candlelight was dim, the inside of the huge specimen storage cabinet was in a blur. The weak light was very blurry, but from our angle, we could indeed see a palm with five fingers extended, propped up in a thick glass container. The fat man and I looked at each other and asked each other in unison: " Is there a dead body specimen in the cabinet?”

This large storage cabinet is so big that it looks like a small airtight container. It contains all kinds of complete animal specimens. From a rough look at the outer layer, including the white bones of the golden-scaled cockroach, it seems that they are all... I don’t know how to classify these extremely poisonous things, but the human body is non-toxic, so why put specimens of dead bodies together with these poisonous insects and beasts? Is it cultivating corpse poison? This doesn't seem reasonable, so we subconsciously ask each other, but who can we ask? Ask a ghost? Anyway, it is impossible for us four living people to know this answer.

The deep glass container was out of reach. I hesitated for a moment, then took the candle holder from the fat man’s hand and planned to get in to see what was going on. The fat man advised me: “What use is a dead man to us? Let’s hurry up. Look elsewhere, maybe you can find a female locust nearby, and then our close comrade-in-arms may be able to be saved..."

We have heard that the golden-scaled locust is a variant of the forest locust. There are one hundred males and one female. The golden-scaled locust is very rare. The female locust with golden scales that can produce black wind is even more rare. Legend has it that the female locust is non-toxic and has a skull. The brains and bones in the cave can detoxify the poison of male cockroaches. If we can find a female cockroach, we can definitely save Ding Sitian. However, this Baiyan Cave does not produce forest cockroaches. If we want to find the creature that is almost extinct in its place of origin, even There was no chance of one in a billion. To use a popular adjective at the time to describe Fatty’s idea – a new Arabian Nights.

But I also have some illusions about the one-in-a-billion chance. If the Japanese devils obtained the female cockroaches and made specimens for storage, this possibility is theoretically not impossible. So I decided not to give up hope yet, and searched every corner of this storage cabinet. In short, I would not give up until I reached the Yellow River, and I would not shed tears until I saw the coffin.

So I said to the fat man: "Let's take a look first." After that, I lowered my head and got into the huge specimen storage cabinet. Since all the jars were filled with strange-shaped poisons, I dared to take it lightly for fear of breaking any bottle. I slowly rubbed it in, and there was a smell similar to miasma. It was so spicy that I burst into tears. I didn't dare to breathe. I held my breath and went to the glass container. The bottle was also full of dark yellow liquid. Because There were a lot of impurities in the effusion, and you could only see a hand pressing against the wall of the bottle from the inside. That hand was much smaller than an adult's, and was close to the size of a seven- or eight-year-old child's hand. There seemed to be a transparent layer on the palm. plastic film.

I thought to myself: "I heard that folk poisonous fetuses and poisonous placentas are poisonous purple river carts and the like, which can be made into poisons to harm people. This storage cabinet is full of poisons. It would not be surprising if there are poisonous fetuses. From here, From the palm of my hand, it seems that the person in the bottle is neither an adult nor a fetus, but a child under ten years old. Could it be that the fetus was swollen by the potion?"

I didn't think deeply at this time. I saw that it was just a corpse soaked in potion, so I stopped wasting time on it. I wanted to turn around and look for it elsewhere, but just when I was about to turn around and go deeper into the storage cabinet. , I caught a glimpse of something. Through the light of the candle, I could see the hand behind the wall of the glass container. Although it was exactly the same as a human hand, there were no palm prints. There was a small red dot between each finger. I Something flashed through my mind, why the hell didn't I think of this?

I turned around to greet the fat man, and quickly opened all the bottles and cans outside. Ding Sitian was saved. The fat man was stunned, as if he didn't believe that a miracle would happen, but miracles do not belong to the emperor, miracles belong to the proletariat. He raced against time, Without bothering to ask me any more questions, I held the big bottle of earthworm bones and moved it aside with difficulty, clearing a passage in front of the storage cabinet door.
