I never thought that the dusty truth would start with this fungus that can control the "zombie cicada".

"The truth is getting more and more interesting." My brain nerves began to get excited.

"When I first discovered it, the researchers' chin almost fell like a cicada's butt, because except for mushrooms, psilocybin has not been found anywhere else. And, about 900 million years ago, they were with M. Chlorosporin.

They parted ways." Liu Bin sat down in front of the stage, shaking the folding fan, and said with a comfortable look on his face.

"Then what's the matter here?"

"In addition, the chemicals secreted by fungi are not only psilocybin, but also carselenone, a monoamine alkaloid found in Arabic tea, which is called 'zombie medicine' abroad

Bath salt, in China, has a common name - long-range tendons."

"Growing tendons?" I suddenly widened my eyes and felt a stern, "This is a new type of drug, which mainly affects the central nervous system. If used improperly, it will not only cause addiction, but also may also have hallucinations, nausea, vomiting, and even

die."

It is said that the culprit of the terrifying Miami "face-chewing case" is this horrible drug. However, in the past, scientists have not found any precedent for carselenone from fungi.

Scientists don't know why this fungus can secrete these chemicals, which will make the cicada extremely active and have a strong desire. They will turn into teddy cicadas. These weird behaviors will not help the cicadas themselves, because

Their reproductive system is either eaten by fungi or falls off with the butt. This will only cause more cicadas to infect the fungus.

"Hey, I have to say, cicadas are so pitiful. Even if their body is hollowed out, they still have to passively complete the breeding task, constantly searching for spouses to reproduce, and only 4-6 weeks of free time, they finally made wedding dresses for others.

”

"But I was still confused when I heard this. What does this have to do with what happened back then?"

Liu Bin still said slowly, shaking the folding fan in his hand, "In fact, in the insect world, there are many phenomena of fungi that control insects. Some fungi will invade ants, aphids, beetles, crickets, and control their behavior, and turn them into

The force is to reach a fatal height, so that fungi attached to insects can spray spores. Scientists call this behavior pattern a climax. But scientists still haven't figured out what the mechanism of action of these fungi?"

"Some people even worry whether we will inhale the hallucinogens emitted by fungi when eating cicadas. Researchers also guess that if we eat a dozen or more infected cicadas, we may be excited.

Do you think it's too mediocre to disturb yourself? If this is true, wouldn't the people in my yard all become zombies?"

Liu Bin not only acts strangely, but also speaks with a strange smell. Although laughter and scolding are all true, I am just like an ant on a hot pan, anxious to tell him the truth about that year.

"Okay, the story of cicadas is over. Now it's time to tell you something real."

"Don't swear my appetite. What does this cicada chirping have to do with what happened back then?"

"In fact, this starts with an ancient tomb excavation twenty years ago. At that time, a horrifying corpse poison infection occurred in the excavation of the ancient tomb, and this fungus was the real murderer." Liu Bin finally came to the main topic,"

And you must be particularly interested in the protagonist of this excavation work. In terms of seniority, you should call her grandma."

"You mean - Si Yueru?" A light immediately ejaculated in my eyes. This name touched the nerves all over my body, "Where is that ancient tomb?"

Judging from what we know now, this ancient tomb cannot be Longling, and Longling has not passed by.

Large-scale excavation. This ancient tomb that emerged out of thin air gave a new direction for the investigation of the incident.

"Yunnan, this ancient tomb is a tomb of a tomb. It should be the leader of a Miao tribe in Yunnan. By chance, people from our five veins participated in the excavation at that time." Liu Bin introduced.

"Toast?" My nerves were moved, "Can you say..."

"You Aunt Yun must have told you about the past and present of one of the ancient corpse jade bracelets in my Liu family." Liu Bin seemed to know what I wanted to say, "These two things that seem to be unrelated, in fact,

, It is indeed very related. The corpse of the zombie should have come from this Tusi family, but after the ancient zombie jade bracelet was stolen from Longling by their ancestors, they were not buried together, and one of them was taken into it by the zombie zombie.

The other one was buried in the tomb of the toast."

"After saying this, the whole thing can be explained." My nerves became excited again.

According to Liu Bin, after Si Yueru came out of Longling, she participated in this archaeological excavation, and she was not invited to participate. In this way, there is only one possibility to explain this coincidence, that is,

Si Yueru searched for the Longling silk book in Longling but failed. After investigation, she learned that the silk book was stolen by the Tusi family and happened to be discovered, so she participated in the excavation.

The corpse poison infection incident interrupted the excavation work of the ancient tomb. When Si Yueru and the others arrived at the excavation site, they were surrounded by a circle of guard belts, and there was no one inside, and only armed police soldiers guarded with guns on the outside.

The captain of the armed police squadron leading the team at that time was Ma Weiguang. Under his leadership, Si Yueru and the others naturally came straight to the tomb door that was opened on the day of the accident.

The tomb is located at the core of the excavation site. The tomb passage has been dug up, and a loess rammed passage extends the spirit underground at an inclination of about 30 degrees. At the end of this rammed passage, the entrance of the tomb is.

"This is an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty, with a history of more than two thousand years. According to the data, the owner of the tomb may have been a leader of the Miao tribe at that time. Judging from the multiple burial pits that have been discovered, the owner of the tomb is not low.

……” The archaeological captain Fang Yuan introduced the origin of the ancient tomb in detail.

Along the tamping path, they soon entered a large pit chamber. This is not a tomb chamber, but a working surface that was dug out for easy excavation.

"There is the entrance to the tomb." Fang Yuan turned on the flashlight and pointed ahead and said.

The light of the flashlight shone on it, and a tomb door appeared in front of them.

The tomb door has been opened, and it is pitch black behind the door. The light from the flashlight shines in. There is only a small beam of cylinders, and there is boundless darkness next to it.

Behind this dark entrance, this tomb, buried deep in the ground for more than two thousand years, is about to unveil its mystery before the world.

And here is the source of corpse poison.

"Are you ready?" Fang Yuan looked around and finally asked.

"Yes." Everyone nodded, no one hesitated.

Fangyuan no longer talked nonsense. He turned on the flashlight and walked into the tomb first. Others then entered one after another.

Entering the tomb, the internal structure of the tomb gradually formed a complete outline under the illumination of the flashlight.

They are currently in a central corridor about two meters wide and more than ten meters long. The corridor is paved with long stone bricks and extends all the way to the main tomb at the end. On both sides are the entrances to a side chamber.

The huge bluestone blocked the door of the main tomb chamber, weighing a thousand pounds.

"What happened just after I came in. Before I could open the main tomb room, I didn't even finish the cleaning of the side room." Fang Yuan promptly reported the progress of the excavation work.

body

Si Yueru, who was a member of the archaeological team, nodded, greeted another team member Huang Qiuding, and the two walked to the door of the main tomb together.

Although it has been a thousand years, the main tomb chamber is still closed. Si Yueru and Huang Qiuding carefully inspected every corner of the tomb door, but no trace of damage was found.

The corpse poison does not seem to have been leaked from here.

"After the accident, have anyone else come in here?" Si Yueru asked back.

"No, after the accident, the cultural relics department immediately withdrew all personnel. The entire excavation site was forbidden to enter. The guards outside were all my soldiers. I can guarantee that no one had come in." Ma Weiguang walked to them,

He replied.

"The two staff members who first entered the tomb were immediately unconscious. Then, the armed police soldiers who went in to rescue people were also unconscious when they left the pit. After that, we did not send anyone in." Fang Yuan then added

road.

"In other words, except for the four of us, only those who were poisoned by corpse have come in?" Si Yueru asked again.

The two nodded to confirm.

Si Yueru walked back a few steps, glanced across the entrances of the side rooms on both sides of the corridor, and frowned slightly.

Generally speaking, the main tomb chamber where the tomb owners is the most prone to problems. Although the ancient Dian Kingdom of Miaojiang still retains some bad habits of living people burying with them, most of them are mainly burying wives and concubines. Their corpses are usually placed.

In the main tomb.

If the corpse poison did not come from the main tomb, where would it come from?

"Huang Qiuding, let some insects come out and find out if there are any remaining corpse poisons here." Si Yueru turned around and ordered.

Huang Qiuding nodded, stretched out his hand, and a few slight sounds of breaking through the air suddenly sounded in the darkness.

"Gu Zhe?" Fang Yuan was startled. Although he could not see the appearance of the Gu Zhe in the dark, he subconsciously avoided Huang Qiuding and approached Si Yueru's side.

The insect flew back soon, and Huang Qiuding pulled the corner of La Si Yueru's clothes and signaled that the poisonous insect she released had no gains.

"This is a bit strange. Before entering the ancient tomb, I had imagined several possible situations in the tombs and made corresponding psychological preparations, but it definitely did not include the current situation." Si Yueru was a little embarrassed.

.

"This seems to be an ordinary tomb. Not to mention rice dumplings, there is not even a little yin energy, and it looks completely calm."

"Damn it, did the corpse poison fall from the sky out of thin air?"

The four of them had a good idea, but they had to carefully check the side rooms on both sides of the corridor.

There are almost no burial objects in the side room. Judging from the specifications of this ancient tomb, there should be an ear chamber in the main tomb, and most of the precious burial objects are buried there.

I quickly checked several side rooms, but still found nothing. They walked into another room next to the entrance.

As soon as they walked in, they found some abnormalities in this side room. On the ground near the stone wall of the side room, there was a small earth bun tens of centimeters tall, and there were fragments of blue bricks scattered around them.

This is not what should appear in a well-preserved brick and stone tomb. Si Yueru's heart instantly made a judgment, raised the flashlight and shone it on the top of the earthen bag.

Sure enough, directly above the soil bundle is not a blue brick, but a layer of soil the size of a wellhead.
Chapter completed!
