Insect Jade

The black Buddha said it was a thousand hands and eyes, but it was actually just a name. It was not that there were really a thousand hands or a thousand eyes in the statue. The black Buddha statue made of rotten jade was as tall as an ordinary person. There were dozens of arms behind it, either holding unusual magical instruments or pinching fingers. The statue had more than a hundred eyes all over the body, which were originally closed, but suddenly opened. The eyes had no pupils, but were like life, and they were constantly squirming.

Father Thomas was frightened by the countless maggot-like eyes on the Black Buddha, and hurriedly asked Elder Chen: "What... what is this? When did these eyes open? Are they eyes or bugs?"

Although Elder Lechen has a lot of knowledge, he has never seen the corrupt jade and the Black Buddha with his own eyes. He has only heard his predecessors mention that there are two things in the world, and they have been extinct for a long time. Those predecessors do not know the truth. The content they tell is very limited. Is there really a dead soul in this Black Buddha who will never scatter? Otherwise, how could the Black Buddha be like a life...

I saw a stream of black fog that was as thick as solidified in the eyes of the hundreds of monsters in the black Buddha statue. These black fog condensed into one in the "Pu Pavilion". With the flashing light of the candle, the outline of the black fog can be seen, like a vague black Buddha statue.

At this time, the "Pealqiao Whistle" who had just vomited blood also returned to his mind. When he saw this terrifying black fog, he was as surprised as Elder Lechen and Father Thomas. There have always been many strange and mysterious things in the ancient tombs. He has seen many of the tomb robbers of the "Pealqiao Whistle" and it is difficult to have anything that surprises him anymore. However, this black fog is unexpected. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have believed that there were such evil things in the world.

Father Thomas felt that it was an evil spirit. He took out a bottle of holy water, pulled out the bottle cap and poured his hand on the black fog. The ink-like black fog had originally moved very slowly. Seeing that water was pouring, the black fog suddenly quickly cracked a big hole in the middle. Father Thomas's holy water was poured into the air, passing through the big hole in the black fog and landing on the ground of the tomb. The big hole in the black fog happened to be in the middle of the outline of the Buddha statue. It seemed that the black Buddha opened the hideous mouth of the black hole and roared at the three people silently.

"Pealqiao Whistle" saw that the black fog seemed to be afraid of Father Thomas's holy water, so she asked Father Thomas to pour some more. Father Thomas shrugged and said, "It's gone, just half a bottle."

Elder Le Chen held the Buddhist beads and said, "The foreign monk's methods are amazing. It turns out that this evil fog is afraid of magic weapons. It seems that the moment of great destruction has passed. How can the evil demons and evil ways do me? Let's see if I come to collect it." After that, he pulled the string of Buddhist beads in his hand and smashed the Buddhist beads to the black fog.

Unexpectedly, the extremely thick black fog did not react at all this time. It was hit by the Buddhist beads and continued to slowly advance. Elder Le Chen secretly regretted it in his heart: "This is really strange. It is difficult to make my Buddha's boundless magic power worse than Western holy water? Alas, what kind of world is this *******?"

"Pealqiao Whistle" saw Elder Chen in a daze, and quickly pulled him. The three of them were forced by black fog and had to retreat. This black fog was released from the rotten jade. There are two possibilities when they encountered it. One was like the white skeleton, the flesh and internal organs of the body immediately rotted, turning into pus, leaving only a skeleton; the other possibility was that the black fog was what Elder Chen said, and there was a ghost in it, and when it met a living person, it was entangled by evil spirits.

No matter which one is, it is indescribable. He has retreated to the corner of the wall and has no way out. Looking at the slowly approaching black fog, the "Pealge Whistle" knew that the deadline had come. To the elder Chen, he said, "The third son will drag his mentor down today, and he will never redeem it for a hundred deaths."

Elder Lechen was about to say some exquisite Buddhist principles to the "Pealridge Whistle" to show that he had already become absent from the matter of life and death, but found that the black fog, which was like a wall not far away in front of him, was not for him and the other side of the wall, but rushed towards the candle in the corner of the wall. The captain of the gold-touching army had an instinctive reaction to the candle, and he felt a sudden heart: "Why are these black fogs moving towards the candle..."

"Pealqiao Whistle" also discovered this situation: "Black fog..."

Elder Lechen, Father Thomas and "Pealridge Whistle" said almost in unison: "Candle!"

When he first entered the ancient tomb, the "Pealqiao Whistle" used the phosphorescence cylinder on the golden steel umbrella. The phosphorescence emitted blue light, which was a cold light source without any temperature. Therefore, since he entered the ancient tomb and saw the black Buddha and the white bones, nothing abnormal happened. When he just wanted to retreat, Father Thomas, who was walking at the end, became the person in front. He lit the candles of the "Pealqiao Whistle" to shine on his way, and suddenly black fog appeared from the tunnel under the jade gate.

Everyone was forced into the "Puan Pavilion" by the black fog, until Elder Chen lit a candle to light the box, and the black Buddha with his hands and eyes suddenly changed. When the Buddha opened his eyes, streams of black smoke came out.

That's right, it must be temperature. Although I don't know the principle, these black fogs are like moths that are flying into fire. They are drawn out by the temperature of the candle. They must be when the air in the tomb chamber reaches a certain temperature. They must be at a high enough temperature. If you don't light a candle or a fire, such black fog may not appear at all. These black fogs seem to be in a sleepy state. Once awakened by the high temperature of the flame, all targets in the tomb chamber that exceed the material temperature will be eliminated before they can calm down.

The black fog was indeed aimed at the candles on the ground first. The thick black fog seemed invisible, but in fact it had a quartz. In an instant, the flames of the candle were engulfed by the black fog, and the tomb chamber was immediately pitch black.

Seeing this, "Pealqiao Whistle" and others knew that the black fog emitted from the black Buddha immediately looked for the target of temperature second to the candle after swallowing the candle. That must be the three living people in the pavilion.

(The endorsement of the book: rotten jade, also known as worm stone, or famous insect jade, is produced in a valley in Afghanistan. It is a very strange thing. This insect jade itself has many strange characteristics and has always been a mysterious substance with legendary colors. It is extremely rare. Ancient people believed that this kind of living strange stone had some evil soul on it. As long as the flames burned near the insect jade, it would emit a large amount of black fog that was thick like solidified together. After the black fog, all the nearby substances that exceeded a certain temperature were corroded into pus. It was not as Elder Chen who touched the corrosive jade as he heard that when the corrosive jade, the human body would turn into pus. The black fog must be first introduced from the high temperature to corrode the nearby substances. The insect jade itself has no such effect.

In ancient times, there was a cult that used the black fog emitted from the insect jade to form a blurred multi-arm human-shaped outline, which embodies the outline of the human head, creating a dark Buddha statue, claiming that darkness will eventually replace light and absorb a large number of believers. Later, this religion was completely wiped out. Since then, the already rare insect jade has disappeared from the world for a time. It was not until modern times that in 1986, this strange stone that only existed in ancient documents was rediscovered in the ruins of Tskamankarehouk in Turkey during a joint archaeological activity. As for why this black Buddha appeared in the ruins of Kamankarehouk, it is no longer verified. It can only be judged that it may have been passed down there in ancient times.

The secret of rotten jade was cracked by American scientists at the end of the 19th century. In fact, this mysterious window paper is broken with a poke, which is similar to the Chinese Cordyceps sinensis. The so-called Cordyceps sinensis is a complex of the zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodiac zodi

The worms are as hot as stones and jade at room temperature. When flames trigger high temperatures, they will turn into insects. A large group of black insects gathered together are extremely small. Single "worms" can be barely distinguished by the naked eye. Large groups of worms gather together are very similar to black smoke. Usually in a zombie state, a large number of dead bodies of worms are stacked together, just like black jade. The worm corpses inside the shell sense the sharp changes in the temperature of nearby air. There will be an accelerated transformation process, taking off the white corpse skin and gathering together to fly out. These worms that break out of the cocoon will secrete a large amount of corrosive liquid through continuous death, swallowing all nearby high-temperature objects, including flames, can be extinguished by the liquid of the worm corpse.

To a certain extent, insect jade can be said to be a very sharp guardian of the tomb. The countless insects that appear from the stone form a worm tent that can cover the entire tomb area.

Of course, "Pealridge Whistle" and Elder Le Chen are both lieutenants with serious superstitions. They saw the evil legend of insect jade for the first time. In addition, in that era, the mystery of insect jade had never been solved, so in their opinion, this phenomenon must be that there are evil spirits in front of them.)

"Pealqiao Whistle" and three others have seen through the black fog that will give priority to attacking targets with high temperatures. In order to divert the black fog, several candles were lit casually. The black fog was led to the corner of the wall by the heat of the candle, and a large gap was exposed between the corner of the wall and the tilted wall in the ancient tomb-splitting pavilion.

Elder Le Chen and others took the "Honglian Miaoxin Pill" before entering the ancient tomb. This secret medicine can lower the body temperature and delay the breathing rhythm of the human body. Therefore, when the black fog is attracted by the temperature of the candle, it will not easily detect these three living people. Seeing that it is too late to hit the hole in the face of the wall, it has to stick to the wall to avoid the black fog, prepare to return to the main tomb chamber from the pavilion, open the black ghost fog there, and exit the passage under the jade gate.

When Elder Lechen was about to go out, he took the "Extra-text Dragon Bone" in the box into his hand. There were many strange symbols engraved on the dragon bone, and many symbols were shaped like "Dragon Pearl". Maybe the whereabouts of the phoenix gallbladder "Dragon Pearl" might eventually fall on this Extra-text Dragon Bone. This dragon bone armor is so hidden in the pavilion, it must have its value.
