Hearing Old Man Yuan say that we had all fallen into a trap, all of us were shocked and didn’t know why he said that. Since Xuan Heng’s death, Old Man Yuan has been very depressed, often lost in thought, and seldom speaks. We all know that

, Xuan Heng’s death was a huge blow to him.

But no one expected that at this critical moment, Old Yuan would suddenly say this, which really surprised us.

"Brother Yuan, why do you say that? How did we fall into the trap?"

Old Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head and said, "Oh, the smell of corpses and the changes in the meridians on the soles of the feet. In fact, this is all a trap by Zhang Liangchen and the others. I didn't expect that we all fell into the trap."

Crazy Six frowned and said a little unhappily: "Brother, whether it's the corpse odor or the changes in the meridians on the soles of the feet, they are all real. How do you say we have fallen into a trap?"

Old Yuan let out a long sigh and spoke sincerely: "I know that everyone must feel very abrupt when they hear me say this, but this is a conclusion reached after long-term thinking, and I am very confident that this

The judgment is correct.

In fact, what you said is correct. Our bodies have indeed undergone some subtle changes, with the so-called corpse odor. Moreover, the meridians on the soles of our feet may also have changed, and there is also that 'ghost pressure on the head'

Clouds, etc., but I need to remind everyone that this is exactly the trick played by Zhang Liangchen and others. The purpose is to paralyze us and make us mess up first, and they can continue to carry out their plans while we are too busy to take care of ourselves.

You still remember my roomful of manuscripts, which were written to me by senior Xuan Heng. In these manuscripts, the matter of corpse odor is mentioned. In fact, here, the body will emit a special odor every time.

Smell, indeed, most people cannot smell this smell, but you all know that my senior Xuan Heng has a special constitution, so he can smell it.

But there are two possibilities for this kind of corpse smell. One is that the person is really about to die; and the other is the standard for people to live longer. I don’t know if you have heard of the proverb - 'Seventy

"Three, eighty-four, the king of hell will not invite you to go", what does it mean? That is to say, seventy-three and eighty-four are two thresholds. Many people will die at these two ages, but if they cross this threshold

, you can live a few more years.

In fact, people are like snakes, they will shed their skin regularly. Of course, this kind of "shedding" is not really shedding, but it means that the human body has many invisible laws in terms of metabolism. For example, every time

After a certain period, a weak corpse odor will appear in the human body, but this gas is so weak that most people cannot detect it at all.

The reason why this kind of corpse odor appears is just like a snake shedding its skin. It is caused by the death of many old cells in the body. These old cells are shed in batches like snake skin, while new cells are formed in large numbers. Everyone

Everyone knows that the environment here is very special, and it is this special environment that causes the cycle of human body to accelerate, resulting in the smell of corpses.

This is actually very normal for me. This kind of corpse smell will appear on my body regularly. Of course, senior Xuan Heng told me this. Do you still remember? Our generations of tomb keepers are all very

Longevity is all related to this phenomenon.

As for this phenomenon of the human body, senior Xuan Heng also learned about it from an imperial doctor."

Old man Yuan's words made us both surprised and happy. A big stone blocking our hearts seemed to have been moved away in an instant, and we felt extremely relaxed. Because after knowing that we had the smell of corpses last night, everyone

Although on the surface

"How to explain that 'ghost-pressing' cloud? I heard my cousin just said that it was a sign of the outbreak of the plague. Is it really like that?" Xiao Lei asked.

Old Yuan did not answer this question immediately. He seemed to be thinking about something. He shook his head first, and then nodded. We really didn't know what he meant. After thinking for a while, Old Yuan slowly said: "

Regarding this kind of cloud, I have never seen it before, nor have I heard senior Xuan Heng say anything about it, but I suddenly thought of something, and that thing seemed to be related to this cloud.

What kind of thing was it? Speaking of which, that was more than twenty years ago.

I remember that the weather was very strange that year - it was always raining when the sun was shining. Normally, everyone has encountered this kind of thing more or less when the sun is shining and it is not unusual, but the way it happened was very strange -

- There are dark clouds in the sky, which are very low and thick, as if they are only as high as a tree. But wherever there is the sun, there are no dark clouds. Therefore, the sun seems to be shooting out from the bottom of a tube. That scene is really strange. I

Never encountered it again after that.

This strange rain has been falling all day. In the evening, suddenly the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, the rain stopped, and there was a cool breeze, which made people feel very comfortable. Looking at the sky again, I found that there were no clouds in the sky, but

Above the crater, I found a cloud. What was even more strange was that the cloud was very low.

I watched it for a long time and thought, what's going on? There are no clouds in the sky. Why is there a cloud here? So, I stood in the yard and watched for a while. As the sky gradually darkened,

Forget it, because this place is quite special, so some strange things happen. I am not surprised at all, so I was not particularly surprised and forgot about it the next day.

When I heard you talk about "ghost pressing on the head" today, I suddenly thought of the cloud 20 years ago. Indeed, the shape of the cloud seemed to be very fixed. Although there was a breeze at that time, the cloud did not seem to be affected by it.

It seems to have an impact. As for whether the clouds persisted for several days, I didn’t pay much attention to it, but it’s true that there was no plague or anything like that.”

According to the characteristics of the clouds described by Old Man Yuan, they are indeed very similar to "ghost-pressed" clouds, but whether this is the case or not cannot be determined for a while.

We now know why Old Man Yuan said that we fell into a trap. If this is true as Old Man Yuan said, we may have really gone astray.

After listening to what Old Man Yuan said, my cousin lowered his head, clasped his hands behind his back, paced back and forth quickly, and began to think about all this. We were all thinking about what to do next, and the room suddenly became quiet. Now just now

It was morning, and according to Crazy Six, the kind of "ghost-pressing" clouds can only appear in the evening, and they shouldn't be there yet.

Suddenly, my cousin listened and said decisively: "Let's go to the crater and have a look." After that, he was the first to walk out. We followed closely behind him.

The late autumn sunshine is bright but not scorching, and the cool breeze makes people feel happy and lifts our spirits.

We have been to the crater countless times, and have experienced various strange events and dangers here. Now we are here again next to this crater. Although everything looks calm and normal from the outside,

We all know that there is a mysterious space inside the crater.

Old Yuan's expression was very sad. We know that he was thinking about people after seeing things, and thought of the old man Xuan Heng who was burned to death.

We looked up and saw only a clear blue sky, dazzling sunshine, and not a single cloud. In such a clear weather, would those kind of clouds really appear in the evening?

Madman Six folded his arms and stared at the crater, still frowning and thinking hard. While his cousin was walking along the crater. Everyone was silent and carefully observed everything around them.

.

Suddenly, my cousin stopped, walked to the crater, squatted down, and observed something carefully. After watching for a while, my cousin suddenly waved to us and said: "Quick, come down and take a look, this is

What."

Everyone was refreshed when they heard what their cousin said. Did their cousin discover something?

We all went down to the crater and gathered around to see what our cousin had found. When we saw it clearly, everyone was surprised because we saw a very strange scene - in the place of the crater,

A green vine actually came out!

This rattan is as thick as an arm, and there are many white whiskers on it. In the crater where there is no grass, this rattan looks very eye-catching, but it is blocked by a stone, so we didn't notice it from above.

A rattan grew out of the crack in the stone, which was even more strange. What was even stranger was that the rattan actually had white beards on it.

Just as we were looking at the rattan in trance, suddenly, the rattan squirmed. Oh my God! This was not a rattan, it was actually a living creature! We screamed in surprise and took a step or two back.

As for the monster that looks like a rattan, we have already encountered it before, that kind of "vine demon". Could it be that this thing is also a rattan demon? But it is a little different from what we have seen before, because this monster

The thing has white whiskers on its body.

At this time, I saw that the vine-like thing suddenly stood up, and the top suddenly cracked, and a red thing protruded from the inside, which turned out to be the monster's tongue. Just when we were at a loss, Xiao Lei

The dagger has been drawn out, standing between us and the monster.

Seeing Xiao Lei pull out the dagger, the monster seemed to be deflated, and suddenly fell to the ground again, motionless.

Because we were afraid that this strange thing would attack, we didn't dare to get too close.

"Is this a green python?" Tian Liwen asked in a trembling voice. She was still shaken by the fright just now.

"It shouldn't be a python. Although it is also slender, it doesn't have a clear snake head. And I just noticed that the tongue it stuck out just now doesn't look like a snake core, and its body has branches.

Look, there is a bifurcation here." Xiao Lei explained calmly.

We took a closer look and found that Xiao Lei was right. There was indeed a bifurcation on the monster's body, and the top of it couldn't even see the shape of its head. So what kind of monster is this? Since it comes from

It sticks out from the crater, so how long is it?

At this time, I heard Old Yuan say from behind: "This is not a python, nor an animal, but a plant, but it can eat people."

Hearing what he said, Hongmei couldn't help but blurt out: "If that's the case, then it is very similar to the 'vine demon'."

"Vine demon? What is a vine demon?" Old Yuan asked in surprise.

We briefly told him the ins and outs of the vine demon. After listening to it, Mr. Yuan nodded repeatedly and said: "Well, it's a bit like the vine demon you mentioned, but it's not exactly the same, because this plant is made of

Came to guard the tomb."

Used to guard tombs? When Old Man Yuan said this, everyone was a little confused.
