Chapter 27 Lies

As soon as this sentence came out, a light bulb went off in my head, as if I had figured out something. I was surprised and said, "Could it be that at the last minute, the two people actually switched bags?"

Men Youping nodded and looked at the corpse: "This person is scheming, just wanting to use King Lu Shang's power to achieve his own goal of immortality."

"How do you know all this? It's as if you've experienced it yourself."

"I haven't experienced it before," Men Youping shook his head. "When I was robbing tombs a few years ago, I found a complete set of Warring States silk books in a Song Dynasty tomb. This thing is actually the autobiography of Mr. Tiemian. After teaching King Lu Shang all the plans, he set fire to his family and threw a beggar's body into the fire, pretending to be himself, and then pretended to be a beggar himself and escaped death. Although King Lu Shang knew that something was wrong, he had no way to deal with it. In the end, he waited until King Lu Shang was buried, and then he easily sneaked into the tomb, dragged King Lu Shang, who had no ability to resist, out of the jade figurine, and lay down in it himself. King Lu Shang worked hard, but in the end he was just making wedding clothes for them. I'm afraid he could never have expected it."

I wondered, "The body of King Lu Shang that was dragged out is not another bloody corpse? Then aren't there two here?"

"He didn't write about this in his book. It might be because King Lu Shang was in the Terracotta Warriors for too short a time and couldn't turn into a blood corpse yet." His eyes looked a little uncomfortable. "It's an autobiography. He only mentioned these briefly. There can't be any detailed records."

I looked at the oil bottle, and for some reason, I suddenly felt that his words were a little fake. I looked at Uncle San, and sure enough, he didn't believe it either. But since he didn't want to say it, and had already made up a lie, there was no point in exposing him. After the oil bottle said this, it seemed as if he had completed his mission, and he returned to his expressionless face, stood up and said, "It's almost dawn, we should go out soon."

"No, we haven't found the Ghost Seal yet," the fat man said, "Look at how many good things there are here. Wouldn't it be a waste if we leave now?"

Menyouping looked at him coldly, seeming to be somewhat hostile to the fat man. The fat man was asking for trouble, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Okay, but you have to take this jade figurine with you anyway? There may be only one of this kind in the world, and I am doing this for everyone's sake."

This is quite true. Uncle San patted his butt and said, "Then why are you still dawdling? Get out of this damn place as soon as possible."

I suddenly lost interest in all this and didn't want to help them. I closed my eyes and prepared to take a rest. At this moment, a few drops of water suddenly dripped onto my face. I thought it was raining, so I looked up and saw that the strange face of the bloody corpse had already poked out of the jade bed, and its two eyes without pupils were almost sticking to my eyebrows.

I jumped up in shock, and saw that the head of the bloody corpse was still rolling on the jade bed. At this time, it rolled to the ground, as if there was something inside. Fatty wanted to go over to take a look, but Menyouping held him back and said, "Don't move, take a look first."

The fat man nodded. At this time, a very small red corpse beetle bit through the blood corpse's scalp and crawled out. Da Kui saw it and cursed : "Damn! Such a small thing dares to show its face here." He raised the crowbar in his hand and wanted to hit it.

Uncle San hugged him and said , "Stupid, this is the king of crickets. If you kill it, you will be in trouble."

Da Kui was stunned and said in disbelief : "Such a small one is the king of crickets? Wouldn't those big ones be depressed to death?"

Men Youping was also very surprised. He patted my shoulder and said , "Let's leave quickly. The Corpse King is here. I can't control these Corpse Corpses. It's very troublesome!"

At this moment, the little red corpse beetle suddenly squeaked twice and shook its wings . It seemed to have seen us and suddenly spread its wings and flew towards us. Men Youping shouted, "It's poisonous! If you touch it, you will die. Get out of the way!"

Uncle San turned around and came to our side. Da Kui behind him was already a little confused and didn't react for a while. He actually pinched the bug reflexively. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly screamed. His hand instantly turned blood red. Not only that, the blood red part spread very quickly from his arm up .

The fat man yelled : "He's poisoned, cut off his hand!" Then he tried to grab the knife from Menyouping. Menyouping was already very weak, and the fat man knocked him, and the knife slipped out of his hand. The fat man caught it in mid-air, but suddenly he sank down and cursed: "Damn, why is it so heavy!" He tried to lift the knife several times, but failed.

It was too late. Da Kui was twisted in agony. In a few seconds, his entire body turned blood red, as if all his skin had suddenly melted .

He looked at his hands, terrified, and wanted to scream but couldn't. Menyouping saw me trying to help Da Kui, so he held me back and said , "Don't touch him, or you'll die!"

Da Kui was terrified when he saw us all retreating as if we had seen a monster. He rushed towards me with his mouth wide open, as if he was shouting, "Help me!" I was so scared that I couldn't move a step. Uncle San rushed over and pulled me away. Da Kui's attack was in vain, and he rushed towards Pan Zi like crazy. Pan Zi's situation was already very bad, and he couldn't react in time. Fatty shouted, "Oh no!" and grabbed my gun. I was shocked, knowing that he was going to shoot, and I hurried to grab it from him. In the chaos, the gun suddenly went off. A gunshot rang out, and Da Kui was shot in the head. He was shocked and fell to the ground.

My head buzzed and I fell to my knees. It all happened so fast. I was fine just now, but suddenly I became like this. My mind went blank and I didn't know what to do .

The little red corpse beetle squeaked and crawled out of Da Kui's hand, shaking its wings. The fat man cursed and Menyouping shouted, "No!" It was too late. The fat man ran over, picked up the purple jade box, and smashed the bug to pieces.

For a moment, the cave was as silent as death, without any sound . Menyouping grabbed a handful of stone dust from the ground and sprinkled it on himself, shouting: "Hurry up, or it will be too late!"

The fat man looked around and saw nothing was happening. He asked curiously , "Why are you leaving?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally quiet cave suddenly became noisy, with countless squeaks coming from all directions. Then, we saw that from the large and small caves in the cave, one, two, three, ten, a hundred - countless green corpse beetles rushed out like a tide. The scale of the corpse beetles could not be described in human language. Wave after wave, the ones in front stepped on the ones behind, crawling over like an overwhelming force.

I was stunned when I saw it. Uncle San slapped me on the back of my head and yelled , "Run!"

He carried Pan Zi on his back. The fat man wanted to pick up the purple jade box, but Uncle San shouted , "You are fucking going to die!" The fat man saw that he couldn't move it, so he grabbed the gold-inlaid silk and stuffed it into his pocket.

We all climbed up the tree. There were many vines and protrusions on the tree, which was very easy to climb. Even someone with my skills could run up more than ten meters in a short time. At that time, all the corpse beetles had already swarmed under the tree. I looked down and saw, my god, the whole bottom of the tree was green . If you fall down, there will be no bones left.

The corpse beetles gathered together consciously and suddenly started to jump up . They climbed the tree much faster than us and reached our feet in no time.

The fat guy climbed on top of me and asked , "Didn't you say that your boy's blood is more powerful than mosquito repellent? Why is it useless?"

My mind was still full of the scene of Da Kui falling down just now. I didn't want to pay any attention to him. He was so annoyed that he cursed inwardly. Suddenly, I felt a pain under my feet. A corpse beetle had bitten my calf. I kicked it away and looked down. It was like a boiling pot below. The corpse beetles scrambled to climb up. At this time, Uncle San shouted from above: "Explosives, there is still explosives in the bag next to the jade bed!"

I asked, "Where is it?"

Uncle San cursed: "You didn't even know it when you were sitting there. It's in the pocket on the left!!" I looked down and saw that the explosive pack was not in the sea of corpses. I couldn't see it at all. I fired a few shots and only shot away a few bugs. At this time, Menyouping suddenly took out a few fire starters from his pocket, lit them and threw them on the jade bed. Although the bugs were no longer afraid of his blood, they were still afraid of fire. When they saw the fire coming down, they made a big circle with a "swish" sound, revealing the backpack in an instant. There were already several bugs hanging on the fat man's buttocks. He shouted: "Damn it, light a firecracker quickly, I can't stand it anymore!"

Pan Zi was shouting from above: "Fuck! No, there are too many explosives in there, we will be killed if it explodes!" I saw more and more corpse beetles crawling up, and I knew that hesitating now would mean death. I shouted, "I don't care about it anymore, I'll die!" I gritted my teeth and fired a burst of shots at the backpack.

The explosion happened so fast. I heard a loud bang and I felt my chin, buttocks, and thighs being hit by the pile driver at the same time. My whole body was lifted up by the air wave and then hit something hard. I felt a sweet taste in my throat and spat out a mouthful of blood. Everything was dark in front of my eyes, my head was buzzing, and I couldn't hear anything.

It took me a long time to recover. I looked and saw that many of the corpse beetles below had been blown away by the air wave. I turned around and couldn't see anyone else, so I used my hands and feet to climb up. Because I was covered with powder from the stone platform below, the ghost hand vines saw me and moved away. At this time, there was another noisy cry from below. I looked down and saw that the corpse beetles gathered like a tide. They climbed very fast. I saw that it was no use. No matter how painful it was, I had to continue climbing. I quickly closed my eyes and climbed up desperately.

Just as I was about to climb to the crack, I suddenly felt a pain on my back. I looked back and saw a corpse beetle had jumped up and was biting my back. I turned around and shot it, smashing it. But at the same time, another bigger one bit my thigh. I gritted my teeth and hit it with my gun, knocking it down, but it immediately grabbed the branch and tried to jump up again. I shot it back and smashed it too. But the third and fourth ones jumped up again immediately.

I saw that I was only a few steps away from the exit, and thought to myself, go ahead and bite me, you can't kill me in a short time anyway, you will be in trouble when I get to the ground. I thought about continuing to climb up, but at this moment, my hand holding the branch suddenly felt a sharp pain. I turned my head and saw a bloody face suddenly popping out from behind the tree trunk, and two eyes that were almost popping out were staring straight at me.
