Urban Oddities: Soul Contract

No.16 Chapter Mr. Zhu

The stone room was eerily quiet, Huo Minghai ran to the wall and knocked and beat, thinking in his heart that some mechanism had been triggered?

"Hey! Du Jiajun—! General Chu—! Answer the words—?!"

Boom!Boom!

Knock knock, the movement gradually slowed down.

There was the sound of light footsteps.

Huo Minghai turned off the lamp on his hat, shrank to a corner, and grabbed a big stone. The surroundings were dark and stuffy, and Huo Minghai didn't dare to breathe. As the footsteps approached, several little boys holding candles appeared in sight.

"Fatty, I'm so scared."

"What are you afraid of!" The little fat man in the lead straightened his chest, "Adults often come here! There is nothing to be afraid of!"

"Well, that's right, so are my parents."

"Today they still carry suckling pig or something."

"Ah, really? I thought I was going to worship the mountain god, so I came to this place?"

The little fat man reminded: "Hey, don't tell them what happened tonight."

"sure."

"Let's pull the hook."

The little boys stood in a circle and held out their little fingers.

In the dim candlelight, there was a familiar, childish face.

Huo Minghai's eyes widened, and the hand holding the stone began to tremble.

After pulling the hook, the little boy discussed how to divide up the suckling pigs and snacks. The suckling pigs are only so big, and everyone wants a piece of meat. They discussed and discussed, and no one would let anyone else. The little fat man had no choice but to draw lots to decide. After the draw, some people are happy and some are worried.

"Hey, Ming Hai, can I share half of the roasted pork leg? I'll exchange it with fruit."

"Ming Hai, I'll trade you pies... Hey, don't shake your head, can I give you a few more pieces?"

"Ming Hai..."

"Ming Hai..."

"Ming Hai... Ming Hai... Hey, wake up!"

His face was slapped, and Huo Minghai opened his eyes in a daze.

Du Jiajun heaved a sigh of relief, saw Huo Minghai closed his eyes again and wanted to continue sleeping, so he quickly pinched him, at this time, Chu Ganjiang came from the depths of the stone room, shook his head: "No."

"Ugh……"

Hearing a strange voice, Huo Minghai turned his head to look, and saw a tall man in overalls walking out of the shadows, he was the old man who drove them away!

Seeing that he woke up, the old man reminded him kindly: "The tomb is closed all the year round, and the air is turbid. It's better to get out quickly."

Huo Minghai struggled to get up and looked at the murals. What he saw were still simple stick figures, but the pattern of worshiping the big tree was gone!

So... it was a dream?

When Huo Minghai was thinking, Du Jiajun was also thinking.

"Where does it usually go?"

The old man smiled: "Walking in the tomb, where else can I go?"

Huo Minghai was puzzled: "What are you talking about?"

Chu Gan spread his hands: "The things to send are missing."

Huo Minghai groaned, his brain seemed to be lacking in oxygen and chaos, he digested the conversation, and when he looked at the old man again, his eyes were full of surprise.

"Please...please sign for receipt." Huo Minghai shook his hands and handed over the package that he had been protecting all along.

The old man was at a loss: "...what?"

"Zhu...Zhu Zhu..." Huo Minghai's tongue was tied, and he couldn't speak fluently. Could it be a human being who appeared in the tomb on this occasion?

Du Jiajun touched him: "Well, pig."

Huo Minghai blushed: "Zhu...Mr. Zhu Zhulang, please sign for it!"

The old man: "Hey, my surname is Chen."

"That Zhuzhu..."

"Zhu Zhu is not here."

Huo Minghai: "Ah..."

Old man Chen was curious: "Is it Hua Tuo's? I placed the form, so I will sign it."

After signing in a fluttering manner, Huo Minghai saw that the handwriting was really beautiful, standard brush calligraphy, and could use a ballpoint pen to write the effect of a brush. This old man Chen is really a master!

After signing for the receipt, old man Chen let out a long sigh while holding the package.

He wanted to send something, but it disappeared. Huo Minghai thought about it, and then he had a flash of inspiration, and asked, "Is it a wine cup?"

Old man Chen shook his head: "What's the point of a mere wine cup?"

"Oh..." Huo Minghai also imitated them and buried his head in meditation. His eyes fell on the broken clay pots, his eyes went up, and his eyes were fixed on the scratches on the wall. Huo Minghai's brain exploded, and he finally realized I understand something.

"It has been guarding here for many years." Old man Chen murmured, "Even if someone got through, I haven't seen it go out."

Du Jiajun was puzzled: "Kuuzi?"

Huo Minghai raised his hand tremblingly: "The hole in the tomb?"

Old man Chen hummed, and explained: "As long as people come in, it will drive them away, and eat those who can't drive away, and then block the opening."

Huo Minghai: "..."

Du Jiajun: "Very loyal, guarding the tomb all the time."

"Why is it gone now?" Old man Chen frowned.

"Are you hungry and looking for something to eat?" Chu Gan guessed.

Old man Chen shook his head: "It can live without eating."

The men stopped talking again, just being in a daze was useless, Du Jiajun stood up: "I have to go out and look for it."

The construction site is so big, it's easy to say, but where can I find it?

"No time, let's go!" Old man Chen took the lead to drill out of the hole, stepped on the pipe a few times, and landed on the ground with ease. Huo Minghai couldn't help but feel eager to try it. He leaned against the wall and took a look, feeling dizzy , The pipeline is extending against the wall, at least three or four floors above the ground, where is the ladder?Yes, at the end of the pipe, Huo Minghai lay on the big pipe, closed his eyes and kept crawling towards the end, before he climbed a few steps, he was picked up by someone.

The building jumping expert Chu Gan will lead Huo Minghai to jump down. After landing, he puts down the limp Huo Minghai. The building jumping expert snorts: "Excellent! Let's jump over more than a dozen floors, how short of this height?"

Du Jiajun picked up Huo Minghai and followed old man Chen to the depths of the construction site. Old man Chen stared at the surrounding pipelines, hoping to find its traces, but he searched all the way, but found nothing except for floating silk threads.

Du Jiajun suddenly asked: "Is it looking for something when it goes out?"

"Ah?" Old man Chen was taken aback, and asked back, "What are you looking for?"

"Precious things."

Old man Chen spread his hands: "Except for the wine buried with him, what else is valuable in the entire tomb?"

"Wine cup?" Huo Minghai said faintly.

"Although the wine cup is my...cough, it's a common item of the tomb owner, but it's not worth a lot of money. It's not as valuable as a tank of wine." Old man Chen's tone was relaxed, but what Du Jiajun said next made everyone People's faces became serious.

"It's not important to you, what about it?" Du Jiajun looked at old man Chen, "It has been kept for so many years, so everything in the tomb is very important to it, right?"

He Liujin walked out of the office depressed.

As the only witness at the scene who did not enter the hospital, the head of the office hoped that he could come forward to explain and accompany the leaders into the tomb for inspection.

The head of the office also emphasized that a group of armed police officers and soldiers will come, fully armed with real guns and live ammunition, safety is not a problem, but He Liujin really doesn't want to go in.

There is a wine cup hidden in the dormitory. Although it is worthless, a thousand dollars is still money. He has become a key figure. With so many eyes staring at him, it is not good to be discovered.

"You have to get rid of it as soon as possible." He Liujin thought, and opened the door of the dormitory.

The room was dark, with threads sticking to his face. He Liujin wiped his face and turned on the light.

The wind poured in through the open window, making the curtains shake unceasingly. He Liujin hurriedly closed the window tightly as he was about to sweep the wine cups off the table.

The wine cup is worthless, if it falls, no one will take it for scrap iron.

He Liujin was playing with the wine cup, wondering if he should contact a few more people on the road to help raise the price. At this time, some strands of silk thread floated in, and He Liujin pulled it irritably, and the room was unbearably hot. , He Liujin got up again to open the window, at this moment, he saw a huge, dark thing lying on the ceiling in the reflection of the glass.

what is this?

As soon as He Liujin turned his head, the big black spider fell to the ground with a whimper, and its sickle-like claws cut through the air. A deep and deep gash was cut abruptly!

"Ah——!!!" He Liujin screamed at this time, and he swung his chair and threw it at the big spider. The big spider looked cumbersome, but moved very fast. In front of Liujin, the big spider has eight eyes, big and bright, like obsidian distributed on the front of the head, and He Liujin's figure is reflected in each eye. The spider's eyes have no focusing ability, but He Liujin Jin felt that it was staring at him angrily.

He Liujin was stared dazed by those eyes. He didn't realize it until his paws touched his body. He rolled on the ground and touched something when he got up. It turned out to be a lighter that fell from his pocket. He Liujin didn't understand spiders. Whether he is afraid of fire or not, but he knows in his heart that this little flame is not enough to pose a threat. He picks up the unfinished white wine and sprinkles it on the bed sheet, then lights up the lighter. With the help of alcohol, the flame quickly ignites the bed sheet In one corner, He Liujin pulled up the flaming bed sheet and danced towards the big spider. The big spider was stunned by the fire, and quickly raised its claws, and the bed sheet was instantly cut into countless pieces. The big spider was not afraid of fire, and stepped on it. The burning cloth rushed straight towards He Liujin. He Liujin yelled for help and ran towards the door. Before he could run a few steps, his waist tightened. During the time, the silk thread became more and more entangled, and it would be too late if it was not broken!He Liujin rolled over on the spot, deliberately pressing on the burning rags, the flames burned the spider silk, and at the same time stained He Liujin's clothes, He Liujin rolled over again, the flames went out, and he was already at the door. I'm about to escape, just go out and call all the guards and police over, are you afraid that this monster will fail?

"Damn!!! Open the door quickly!!!" He Liujin, who was dizzy in a hurry, was scrambling to unlock it when he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside the door. After a few flashes, the door panel cracked and shattered on the wall.

"Great, this guy is fine!"

The guy who was okay maintained the posture of unlocking the lock with both hands and petrified on the spot. The big spider chasing after him stopped, and his eight eyes reflected the threatening General Chu.

"Take him away! Woohoo!" Chu Ganjiang suddenly fell to the ground and was dragged towards the big spider by the bundle of silk. Huo Minghai dragged He Liujin to escape. Tight, He Liujin was pulling him and dragging him in the direction of the big spider.

"What are you doing?!" Huo Minghai was depressed, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't resist He Liujin's force, his feet slipped, and within a few seconds, he was dragged to the edge of the hole!

"I don't want to either..." He Liujin was about to cry, spider silk was wrapped around his ankle at some point, and when he found it, it was already so thick that he couldn't break it off!

Du Jiajun, who arrived later, saw Huo Minghai's hand breaking off the wall, and immediately became anxious. He rushed over and dragged him. Unexpectedly, he was also dragged into the room. The silk thread was floating, as if alive. He and Huo Minghai were strung together with silk threads, General Chu's hands and sword were wrapped into clubs, the big spider cleverly dragged them to the window, intending to break them one by one, and He Liujin, as the focus of attention, had already Being taken care of as a mummy, He Liujin, who couldn't move, screamed in fear. The big spider thought he was annoying, so he sprayed a few strands of silk and put a hood on He Liujin. At this time, old man Chen finally arrived at the scene and saw Zhang was startled at first, but soon regained his senses, and yelled at the big spider, "Let them go!"

The big spider was stunned for a moment, and Huo Minghai took the opportunity to knock He Liujin to the ground. The flames of the rags had spread to the books and newspapers, and the spider silk was melted by the heat. He Liujin finally opened his mouth and gasped for breath. When he rolled, he wanted to burn the thread on his body, and after a few turns, a man covered him.

Du Jiajun propped his hands on the ground and looked at Huo Minghai helplessly. The spider silk was quite long, but it was shortened by Huo Minghai's rolling. He Liujin was also tied up, and the three men huddled together.

Chu Gan will not be afraid of fire, and when he finds that fire can cut a thread, he will roll towards the place where the flames are hot without hesitation. On the hard claws, the shell of the giant spider was comparable to steel. General Chu Gan slashed several times without leaving any traces. The giant spider swung its giant claws and decided to deal with the most threatening General Chu Gan first.

At this moment, Old Man Chen was trapped by a net and stuck to the wall. He had no weapon in his hand, and the flames hadn't spread to this side, so he could only stare helplessly, calling out its name and telling it to stop, everyone The spider was determined this time, and just pretended not to hear.

"Huh, he seemed to call Zhu Lang just now?" Huo Minghai pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"Don't move..." Du Jiajun, who was lying on the top, found a fruit knife not far away, and was reaching for it, but it was a pity that he couldn't get it by a little distance.

Huo Minghai blushed, trying to ignore the breath that was close at hand, and moved his body, causing Du Jiajun and He Liujin to move a few inches.

Du Jiajun saw that there was a way, and encouraged him: "Move again."

Huo Minghai twisted his body and moved a few inches.

Du Jiajun urged: "It's still close, continue."

Huo Minghai continued.

When they finally met, Du Jiajun took a knife and heated it up on the fire, and cut the spider silk on his body, praising while cutting, "This mattress is good."

Mattress:"……"

Du Jiajun smiled badly: "It's warm and strong, and it also has a massage function."

The mattress with its own massage function turned its face away sullenly.

"Yeah!!" The screams from outside startled the men in the dormitory.

The host Xiao Miao pointed at the broken wall from a distance, her feet went limp, and she passed out.

The team leader Yan Shi had a headache. While directing the transportation of seedlings, he arranged for the manpower to start filming. Something happened to He Liujin’s dormitory. There was a crackling sound, followed by a loud bang, and then there was a fire. The people in the office just arrived at the scene I didn’t dare to approach it anymore. Look, the door was gone, and the wall was cut like a pizza. Obviously it wasn’t an explosion. If it wasn’t an explosion, what else could cause such destructive power?

In an instant, the huge monster from the depths of the tomb appeared in everyone's mind.

"That thing turned out to be real!" Everyone in the office was terrified.

"Team leader! Wait! Wait until the fire brigade and the police arrive!" Da Mao and Er Mao stopped Yan Shi who was about to rush up.

"Don't be afraid, I'll just go over and take a look."

"Team leader! Don't, team leader!"

Yan Shi and Da Mao Er Mao's voices are getting closer and closer, Chu Gan will immediately smash the window, trying to lure the big spider over, but half of the big spider's eight eyes are staring at He Liujin's direction, He Liujin is so sweaty , he didn't do anything to it, is it necessary to have such a big hatred?After Du Jiajun broke free from the spider silk, he raised his hand to pick up He Liujin. Before He Liujin could react, he heard Du Jiajun yell loudly, raised his hand and threw it away, and He Liujin flew out of the window like a shell. The spider immediately chased He Liujin. Du Jiajun had quick eyesight and quick hands. He embraced Huo Minghai with one hand and the remaining spider silk with the other. He was dragged by the big spider and flew out of the window. All I saw were flames all over the floor, and a tall old man stuck to the door.

Old man Chen hehe: "Can you explain it to me?"

He Liujin almost lost his soul when he landed. Looking back, he saw a huge black shadow chasing him with giant claws. This is the rhythm of fleeing for his life.He Liujin got up in a hurry, and just as he stepped out his legs, his body lightened, and he was picked up again.

"Which direction?!"

"Over there!" Du Jiajun, who was chasing behind the big spider, pointed in one direction.

"it is good!"

"What a fart——!" He Liujin was thrown by General Chu, and he was thrown into the depths of the construction site again like a cannonball. He Liujin was still floating in the air, and General Chu had already dodged to the landing point of the shell , raised his hand, and caught it empty. He Liujin was also smart. He supported it with his hand the moment he was about to hit the ground, and rolled beautifully to relieve the momentum. Before he could get up, his body lightened again.

"You're skilled." General Chu Gan praised.

"Your sister—!!" The shell set off again, and after a few ups and downs, He Liujin, who was floating in the air, suddenly felt that something was wrong with the surrounding scenery. Why did it look so much like an excavation site?Turning his head to look, there is indeed a huge pothole under him!

He Liujin could no longer calm down. Although Chu Gan would have appeared under the pothole and waited for him with his hands up (God knows how that guy got down), He Liujin's mind went blank, and the scene in front of him became more and more blurred. When he caught him accurately, He Liujin had already fainted limply.

A huge black shadow descended from the sky, and in the smoke and dust, the hideous figure of the big spider gradually became clear.

"As a guardian spirit, why kill innocent people indiscriminately?" Chu Gan threw He Liujin aside, raised his sword in front of it, "It's just a stolen wine cup, is it necessary to kill it all?"

The big spider's eyes faintly reflected General Chu.

"You can't guard his tomb forever." General Chu said, "This tomb will soon cease to exist!"

The big spider's claws dug out holes on the ground, obviously very angry.

"And your master will disappear soon!"

This sentence completely enraged the big spider. Its claws spread wide, and the sharp sickle cut towards General Chu from all directions. General Chu quickly raised his sword to block. He only had one sword, and all the claws of the big spider could be used as sickles. It didn't take long before Chu Gan was forced to retreat again and again, but his embarrassment didn't last long. The big spider suddenly softened its claws and tilted half of its body.

"Finally it works!"

Du Jiajun's voice came from the back, and the big spider was startled. When did that guy climb on the back? How could it not know at all? !

"Wow, it's about to fall!" Huo Minghai said.

There is still one? !The big spider was shocked, and wanted to shake them off, but found that its legs were so limp that it couldn't exert its strength!Not only that, but the strength in his whole body seemed to be drained gradually, and the big spider lay powerlessly on the ground.

what is the problem? !

"Huh... It's strange, I don't seem to feel anything in my hand?" Huo Minghai was at a loss.

"Piggy, you've come across the place where the medicine was sprinkled!" Du Jiajun stroked him.

Mafeisan made by Hua Tuo was used as an anesthetic for ancient surgical operations. It was imported in original packaging. Of course, the efficacy of the medicine was not superfluous. The medicine penetrated quickly. Soon, the giant spider lost consciousness and passed out on the ground. Gradually shrinking, and finally formed a big black ball.

Du Jiajun took out the big bag from his pocket, put the big black ball in it, and pasted the express note written by the old man Chen. After the task was completed, Du Jiajun took the big bag and ran away. Chu Gan picked up Huo Minghai and He Liujin tightly. keep up.

There was a commotion in the dormitory, police cars, ambulances, and fire engines whined, and He Liujin was thrown on the driveway of the construction site. If a car passed by, as long as the driver was not blind, he would always find the unconscious man.

Du Jiajun led them to dodge left and right, and went all the way to the corner smoothly. Chu Gan cut a hole in the wall, and the three of them came out in a file. Du Jiajun took the package to pick up the car, while Huo Minghai's car stopped near the restaurant. , but when he touched Mafeisan, his hands were soft and his feet were soft. It was no wonder that he was told to drive without accidents. General Chu supported him, thinking in his heart that it seemed very simple to see Huo Minghai kicking his legs to retract the handlebars. Now that it's like this, shouldn't he be allowed to sit in the parcel basket and drive the car himself?

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt a gaze, raised his head, and Chu Moxie was looking at him from a distance.

General Chu Gan's heart was pounding with joy, and just as he was about to call out brother, Chu Moxie put a finger on his lips and made a silent gesture.Seeing his actions, it seemed that he was going to do something shady, Huo Minghai winked: "Oh, what is the deputy curator doing secretly?"

General Chu snorted twice: "What are you sneaking around, my brother is at work!"

Huo Minghai watched Chu Moxie go to the baffle as if nothing had happened, looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one there, he raised his hand and waved a few times, a hole appeared in the baffle, and Chu Moxie walked in carelessly.

"As expected of my brother, he is so handsome!" Chu Gan was intoxicated.

Huo Minghai Khan, beauty is really in the eye of the beholder!

blah-

The car behind him was honking, and Du Jiajun urged: "Put your car up."

"What?!" Huo Minghai was suddenly at a loss. When Du Jiajun opened the rear of the car and stuffed Huo Minghai's electric bicycle into it, Huo Minghai's eyes were wide open.

"Damn it, you can actually pretend?!"

"of course."

"Then when I meet you, I'll be able to take a ride!"

Du Jiajun nodded: "Okay."

Huo Minghai tilted his head to look at him.

Du Jiajun smiled and said, "I wish I could have one more porter. Although he is sometimes clumsy, at least he can still be used."

Bungy Pig Porter: "..."

The two had been busy all night, and the company specially approved them to take a day off without counting attendance.

It was midnight when Huo Minghai and Du Jiajun returned to the apartment. They ate something casually, took a shower, and fell asleep until the sun went down.

When Huo Minghai opened his eyes, Du Jiajun was leaning against the bed and playing with his mobile phone.

"Cook at home or eat out at night?"

"There is food at home, let's cook it at home." Du Jiajun put down his phone and turned to look at him.

"Oh."

Du Jiajun still sat down.

Usually, Du Jiajun takes care of the cooking, but Huo Minghai urged him, "Go and cook."

Du Jiajun raised his eyebrows: "Then let go."

"What?"

As soon as he reminded him, Huo Minghai realized that he was hugging Du Jiajun's waist, and the buttons of his pajamas were all unbuttoned.

Sure enough, the evening news reported on the subway construction site. The team leader Yan Shi kindly provided a video. In the video, the cobwebs stuck to the wall were bulging, dangling like someone struggling.

"There was a man here, a very tall old man, and he was still wearing a construction site uniform!" Da Mao Er Mao was also a witness, and he gestured frothyly.

Yan Shi looked serious: "I helped him cut the spider web."

Da Mao and Er Mao nodded.

Office head: "I... I... I also saw them walking out with an old man."

Office secretary: "I saw it too...but... well, tell me."

The foreman of the construction team was pulled out with the same blue face: "Our construction site only recruits people under the age of 40, and there is no old man named Chen..."

The person in charge of the file also nodded in confirmation.

Old man Chen was placed in the lounge, and later he said he went out for a walk, but disappeared as soon as he left.

He Liujin was still unconscious when he was found, with bumps and bumps on his body, and was sent to the hospital.

People at the construction site said it was a ghost hit.

After discussion, the expert group decided that the project could not be stopped, and decided to transfer the coffins in the tomb and place them in the cemetery. The funeral objects in the tomb were worthless and had already been disposed of by special personnel.

The moonlight was reflected in the wine cup. Curator Yun lifted the clay jar and poured a full glass for old man Chen. Old man Chen drank the wine cup in one gulp.

"Osmanthus wine is really fragrant." Curator Yun greeted Chu Moxie and asked him to drink it together.

Chu Moxie shook his head, saying that he only likes to drink milk, and basically doesn't touch anything else.

"Oh, it's a pity." Curator Yun signed the catalogue. Today, an old spear, a wine cup, and a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine were added to the museum, and all the broken bones in the coffin were brought out for burial. In the woods, Curator Yun personally erected a tombstone. As for the coffin that was transferred to the cemetery, there were only scattered pieces of cloth inside.

Chu Moxie took the list and went to arrange a booth.

"Hehe, what about me?" Old Man Chen smiled.

"People who are about to disappear don't join in the fun!" Curator Yun also smiled, filled himself with wine, and raised his glass respectfully, "General Chen, I would like to respect you."

General Chen patted his thigh and laughed loudly: "The unknown junior can be toasted by the old god, this life is enough."

"How old is this wine?"

"How many years is this year?"

Curator Yun reported the year, General Chen calculated it and said in surprise, "Wow, at least a thousand years ago!"

The soul of thousands of years ago has already been reincarnated, and the afterimage of the soul remaining in the tomb has become thinner and thinner with the passage of time. He is attached to the murals, clay pots, and spears. The alcohol began to evaporate, and General Chen's figure became thinner and fainter.

"Zhu Lang has been with me for a long time, please take care of me."

"Well, yes, with Zhu Lang here, the mosquitoes in the museum are probably going to disappear." Director Yun smiled.

When the big spider was still alive, it was only about the size of a palm. On a rainy night, a horse was restless, kicking and flicking its tail. General Chen went to check and found a big spider lying on the horse's belly Taking shelter from the rain, he recognized it as a kind of tarantula. This kind of spider is quick and fierce, and he must have been stuck by it when passing through the woods. General Chen originally wanted to kill it with a sword, but later felt that the spider He was very smart, and he stretched out his hand to wave at it. Unexpectedly, the spider crawled over and lay on his palm obediently. From that day on, General Chen let it make a nest in the room. I was afraid of scaring people, so I didn't run around, and focused on catching and eating mosquitoes. Since it was there, the number of mosquitoes in Chen's house has dropped dramatically.

General Chen wanted to release it several times, but it was loyal. On the battlefield, no matter how many horses were changed, General Chen, who finally returned triumphantly, would always find it in the belly of the horse.

Exist like a talisman.

Until General Chen died of illness and was buried in the tomb, Zhu Lang also followed him secretly, day after day, year after year, unknowingly became the guardian spirit.

Anticipating that the tomb would be dug up one day, General Chen entrusted someone to buy Hua Tuo's Mafeisan, and anesthetized Zhu Lang before being discovered.

The wish was fulfilled, and General Chen's mood became happier.

"Ah, and this."

A section of dusty tree branch was placed on the table, Curator Yun's eyebrows twitched.

On the way to the expedition, General Chen discovered a huge underground cavity, which was very deep, and he did not know how many meters it was underground. As he advanced, General Chen found a green branch interspersed with a high place.

"I wanted to shoot the branch down to see, but it turned out that it was very hard. After a few arrows, only such a small knot fell off." General Chen recalled the scene at that time, and he still vividly remembered it.

The branch fell to the ground and turned into a dusty piece, with winding blood vessels still visible inside. General Chen picked it up and bit it with his teeth.

"Hehe, luckily it wasn't sucked dry by the branches at that time."

"Suck dry?"

"This thing eats meat and drinks blood, it's an evil spirit!"

Looking back now, General Chen is still a little scared. His subordinates came to him with pigeons. General Chen was so busy reading the letter that he didn't pay attention to the pigeons. He didn't look up until a bloody feather suddenly fell from above.

The pigeon hit the branch, struggling to flap its edge, blood dripping everywhere, in just a few seconds, the pigeon gradually shrunk and shriveled, finally falling to the ground, only the dry half of its wings.

If it wasn't for the warm blood, General Chen would have thought it was a dream.

Curator Yun lifted up the branch, and through the moonlight, he saw the layers of blood vessels distributed inside.

"General, this thing is an incredible thing."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

The figure was so faded that only a layer of outline remained. General Chen was full of curiosity. He couldn't solve the mystery, but it was good to hear the old god's conclusion.

"I'm afraid this thing is a life form beyond imagination." Curator Yun looked serious. Fortunately, it is in an underground cavity. If it extends to the ground, it will bring great disaster to the world.

"It's not a plant, nor a crystal, but a living thing. If the old man's guess is correct, it should be the legendary sacred tree Fusang!"

The author has something to say:
