"Let me introduce you." Liu Sa stood up and took the initiative to act as the introducer, introducing us one by one to the old head of the Liu family.

"This is Zhang Erpang, whose real name is Zhang Xinan. We all met in the underground palace."

"This is Ah Hui, whom I met in the underground palace. Many years ago, Tong Yuan used the 'sacred water' obtained from King Yu's Palace to conduct human experiments. He is the only survivor of the Aspiration."

"This one is the true disciple of the Incense Division of Wudang Taiyi Sect, Shang Qingyun, Taoist Master Shang Xiao."

"The last one is Chen Siyu, grandpa, you are going to meet, my junior~" I stood up and bowed solemnly to the head of the Liu family. He smiled at me and motioned for me to sit down.

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to be formal. Basically all of you here have more or less contact with our Ninth Family. Just treat me as the elder of your family and treat this place as your home."

After comforting us, the old master looked at me: "Can you show me your hands?"

I nodded, walked forward, and handed the hand that had been bitten by the parasite to the old owner.

The old owner stretched out his rough, wrinkled palm from under the blanket and held my hand. He looked at it carefully for a long time and then concluded: "This is no ordinary poison."

Of course I know it's not an ordinary voodoo. How can an ordinary voodoo turn into a monster after being hit by it? "It's a human moth voodoo."

The old head of the family shook his head: "The Liu family has sent people to the Sea Eye Dragon Palace before. The first batch of people who went there suffered heavy casualties. Many people died because of the human moth poison. What you have been infected by is not an ordinary human moth poison.

."

The old man turned his chair and moved to the bookshelf in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He found a "Record of Tomb Mutation Virus Diseases" and flipped through one of the pages.

At this time, the old butler stepped forward and took over the open record book. He found a remote control from the drawer, pressed the button, and with a beep sound, a curtain hung on the back wall on the right side of the hall, and a piece of the ceiling on the roof hung.

It automatically pops open and a projector hangs out.

The old housekeeper shared the record on the screen so that each of us could see it clearly.

This is a transcript of the record.

The record was recorded in June 1942. The person responsible for the anatomy and autopsy was named Hua Disheng. At that time, the record was apparently filed in the name of a poison gas experiment against invaders.

On the first page of the report, there are only a few lines of text, and the main body is a photo.

Experimental subject: Liu Kunhe

Preliminary diagnosis: specific infection skin cancer

Specific symptoms: edema appears all over the body in the early stage, pore secretion function fails, and suppuration occurs all over the body.

In the middle stage, the pustules rupture automatically and grow strange gray spots and white fuzz.

One to three days after the strange spots appear, the patient's face appears mutated, with pupils resembling insect compound eyes and congested, and fleshy whiskers growing out of the mouth.

In the late stage, he loses his mind and starts to attack others. He only eats mulberry leaves and spits out bloody threads. This situation will continue forever.

It was determined that the patient's spitting out threads was due to visceral fibrosis.

Below is a photo of the experimental observation. Although the photo is black and white and has been blurred, I felt terrified when I saw the patient turning into a human moth step by step and vomiting blood and silk.

"Siyu, please describe your symptoms after being poisoned."

I recounted to others the story of how I was bitten by a bug in the country of Osi, how I escaped from the cocoon box, and how I shed my skin multiple times to save my life.

The room suddenly fell silent.

The second fat man stared at me and kept saying "I rely on him, I rely on him", and finally he excitedly ran over and grabbed my shoulders and said, "Okay, Xianyu. If you go to the grave from now on, you will be there."

If you block it in front, you can reach Nirvana like a phoenix and you won't die. You are a natural human shield."

I rolled my eyes at him and pushed the fat man away.

At this time, the old housekeeper brought out a plate from nowhere and opened the lid, which was full of mulberry leaves.

Liu Sa picked up a piece of mulberry leaf and waved it in front of my eyes: "Come on, come on, tusk, tut, tut, junior, look at this. Do you have an appetite~"

Are you teasing the dog?

I was furious: "No!"

"Hey, I'm about to bite someone, and you still say I haven't."

"It seems that you are not an ordinary voodoo, or rather an ordinary human moth voodoo." Patriarch Liu pondered for a moment, turned his chair and returned to his desk. He rummaged through the piles of documents for a long time, and finally took out a

Get a map.

This is not an ordinary map. It not only marks the important places in each city, but also clearly marks the ancient tombs discovered by the Ninth Family and the contact points of the Ninth Family in each city.

In addition, the activity points of various ethnic minorities are also written on the map.

"I don't have much research on Gu, so I can't provide you with substantial help, but I can help you point out a way." Patriarch Liu pointed at the southwest of the map with his finger, which is in Sichuan to be precise.

Within the territory, "Go to Bashu, where the oldest black seedlings still live."

"Hei, what is Hei Miao?" Ah Hui asked.

The head of the Liu family sat upright and spoke loudly: "In the past, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and Chi You fought in Zhulu, and Chi You was defeated and killed. The Yellow Emperor originally wanted to clear out the Jiuli tribe left by Chi You, but his generals urged the Yellow Emperor to accept it.

Treating people with kindness, he asked for orders to bring the Jiuli people under his tent, and taught them the miraculous skills of taming all kinds of beasts.

Later, Limu resigned and went into seclusion, and the Jiuli people were willing to guard Limu's mausoleum.

Until the time of Emperor Yao, his son Danzhu Ce rebelled against Jiuli and established himself as the Three Miao. They are the White Miao, the Black Miao and the Hua Miao. Nowadays, the ancient Hua Miao are almost extinct, and most of the White Miao and Black Miao are divided into the White Miao and White Miao.

Miao, Qingmiao, Hongmiao and Hua Miao live separately in Xiangxi, Yunnan and other places. These Miao people have long been conquered by the Han people and have abandoned the witchcraft skills left by their predecessors.

But a long time ago, a group of black Miao people left the San Miao tribe and went to Bashu, and today they are the only tribe that still retains the complete witchcraft and Gu skills passed down by their ancestors."

After listening to Mr. Liu's introduction, I was able to roughly connect what was said about the murals at Limuling.

Limu's trusted family members were the Jiuli people, later known as the Nanman Sanmiao.

At first, their original wish was just to guard the mausoleum of their benefactor, Li Mu, but Danzhu fell in love with the miraculous skills mastered by the Jiuli people, so he deceived the trust of the woman buried in Li Mu's coffin and mastered the miraculous art of raising gu.

.

In fact, the so-called Jiuli people turning into monsters is not a natural punishment.

It was what Danzhu did. He poisoned the Jiuli people who disobeyed him and turned them into monsters. The woman knew that she had committed a serious crime, so she led all the mutated Jiuli people into Limuling. I guess

This was a back-up plan that Limu had guessed before he was alive that someone might covet the thaumaturgy he had left behind.

As for the remaining Jiuli people, they followed Danzhu in rebellion, and were finally defeated by Yao and expelled to the south.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered a strange thing in Limu Mausoleum: "By the way, old master. I remembered that in the coffin of the main tomb of Limu Mausoleum, it was not the great god Limu who was buried, but a woman.

.Could it be said that Limu’s body has been stolen?”

The head of the old family sighed: "I also know about this matter. People sent by the Ninth Family found it out many years ago, but there is still no answer. I guess there are only two possibilities. One is that there is a mysterious tomb there, and the other is that it is a mysterious tomb.

Mu's body has been stolen by Tongyuan. Compared to the latter, I hope that we just haven't found the real Mu Tomb."

"Grandpa, please tell us. What kind of organization is this Tongyuan? We have been under its 'care' all the way."

Patriarch Liu nodded: "Anyway, by now, you are already an insider.

As far as I know, Tongyuan is an international tomb-robbing organization. Their history is very long and can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty.

At that time, there was a group of Confucian scholars who specialized in robbing ancient tombs. "Zhuangzi. Foreign Things" mentioned that there was a conversation between two Confucian scholars about how to rob ancient tombs.

Although many people now think that Zhuang Zhou was satirizing Confucianism, in fact there was such a group of people during that period. However, they did not openly call themselves Confucian scholars, but were private organizations hidden in various vassal states.

These people have different abilities, but they all have a unified skill, which is to dig a hole in the ground and place a coin on the ground. By passing through the soil in the center of the coin, you can determine whether there is an ancient tomb underground and its year.

.

To this day we still don’t know what the principle of this method is.

Later, this private tomb robbing organization grew stronger and stronger. By the end of the Han Dynasty, the famous Wei King Cao Cao established a tomb robbing organization, which I think you young people all know."

"Touch Captain Jin?" I blurted out.

"Yes." The old patriarch nodded, "But the so-called gold-touching captain is actually just an official position of the Tongyuan organization. Their specific responsibility is to go deep into the tombs to search for treasures. The methods are extremely simple and violent, just like charging on the battlefield.

The fighting troops, but the people who make plans behind them are truly terrifying, and those people are Tongyuan.

Cao Cao also studied under a Tongyuan disciple in his early years, and he himself was a member of Tongyuan."

The old man took a sip of water and continued: "During the war, Tongyuan once stole national treasures from the puppet Manchukuo and sold them. When the Forbidden City was destroyed, they followed Emperor Xuantong and looted all the national treasures from the Qing treasury. Until now, they have not been able to collect them all.

After returning home, when the Old Summer Palace was plundered by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, Tongyuan was also involved.

As early as Zheng He's voyages to the West in the Ming Dynasty, Tongyuan had already spread its influence abroad.

The Ninth Family has been tracing Tongyuan. Not only the Ninth Family, but also the Four Sects, Five Buddha Temples, Three Religions and Nine Streams have all participated in tracing Tongyuan, but they have found nothing.

It wasn’t until decades ago that we discovered a subsidiary of Tongyuan in China.”

"Fangyuan Ocean Fisheries Group Company?"

"That's right."

Liu Sa and the others all looked back at me, but Ah Hui turned away: "How did you know?"

I pointed at Ah Hui: "The sunken ship I found Ah Hui on is owned by Fangyuan."

"Tongyuan seems to have been looking for something. We have found out that the two things they stole from the Sea Eye Dragon Palace are related to one person."

"who?"

The old patriarch's eyes suddenly darkened: "Don't worry about this matter for now. What you should do now is pack your bags and prepare to go to Bashu. I will give you this map and arrange a guide for you. When we arrive,

You only need to find him in Chengdu, and he will naturally take you to Heimiao's residence."

Liu Sa took the map from the old patriarch’s table, and we all said goodbye to the old patriarch one by one.

When I was leaving, Mr. Liu stopped me: "Siyu, I know you really want to know the whereabouts of your grandfather and your parents, but as an elder, I want to advise you not to get involved in this matter. This is for your sake."

For the sake of safety, Tongyuan is not something you kids can handle."

"I know, thank you." I bowed my thanks again, then walked out, closing the door at the same time.
Chapter completed!
