Damn it, if I were to sneak away with Ning Xue without your knowledge, I wouldn't have come looking for you before, right? But for Zhao Xi's sake, I'll let Ning Xue and Man Yuanyi go with them. After all, Ning Xue knows Chen Weiliang and his wife, so it's easier to talk to them.
Hongyi and I took a taxi to Jiulong Mountain and asked them to wait in Xitang.
Jiulong Mountain borders the sea, creating a unique forest park experience that integrates forest, ocean, and diverse landscapes. The mountain's jagged rocks create a variety of rock formations; offshore islands create a variety of sea erosion landscapes; and numerous scenic spots and historical sites are also found. This unique blend of natural and cultural attractions makes Jiulong Mountain National Forest Park an ideal location for ecotourism.
Then I was in trouble. I had to buy a ticket to enter Jiulong Mountain!
One ticket costs 150 yuan!
Oh my god, I don’t even have enough money for a round trip taxi, and if I buy tickets, I’ll be broke.
To save the 150 yuan, Su Xiaoniu told me to make good use of the little devil in red. I asked him to go to the ticket office and get me a ticket. As the little devil in red floated away, I watched the ticket seller shudder, as if a cold wind had blown through him.
Then the woman in red flashed into the ticket office. After a while, she flashed out from the wall again with an extra ticket in her hand.
I walked through the gate with the ticket in my hand, handed it in, and entered smoothly without anyone noticing anything was wrong!
Suddenly, I thought of a way to make money. I could ask Hongyi to take all the tickets from the ticket office and sell them. Wouldn't that make me rich? Of course, I was thinking too simply. If I got caught as a scalper, I'd be in trouble!
As I was thinking, I'd already reached the slopes of Jiulong Mountain. Here, there are many animals, such as owls, hawks, kestrels, herons, as well as hog badgers, hedgehogs, civets, and wild cats. There are also bizarre rocks. For example, there's Longqiu Stone. Legend has it that the tears of the little white dragon, while burying his mother, formed a spring. The water is clear and sweet, and never dries up year-round. Some have been imbued with historical significance and have survived to this day, such as the Qin Emperor's Sword-Testing Stone, the Mountaintop Stone, and the Clothes-Pounding Stone of Meng Jiangnu. There's also Cuiwei Stone, among many other rock formations.
In short, there are many cultural relics in Jiulong Mountain.
Su Xiaoniu showed me the way, and I walked and looked all the way, just like I was traveling to Jiulong Mountain. After twists and turns, I reached the top of the mountain unknowingly. I was exhausted and sweating. Su Xiaoniu finally asked me to stop. I looked up and saw a bamboo house not far ahead.
Surrounded by ancient camphor and pine forests, building a bamboo house in such an environment seems a bit strange.
It was around one or two in the afternoon. Smoke rose from the bamboo hut, and all around was quiet. I walked up to the hut. There was a low step up, and I stood on it and called out, "Is anyone there?"
I called out three times, but there was no movement in the house.
Su Xiaoniu asked me to go in and take a look. The door was ajar. I gently pushed it open and looked inside. A foul smell hit my nose, which made me frown and quickly cover my nose. I glanced into the room and then my eyes widened.
A man's body, a large part of it already rotted away, lay on the ground. The flesh had almost completely disappeared, leaving white bones exposed in many places. Even more disgusting, the body was covered in a large number of strangely shaped golden maggots, gnawing at the flesh.
"This is a poisonous insect, a kind of poison technique. Generally speaking, it is only found in the Miao area of Yunnan." Su Xiaoniu said solemnly.
Su Xiaoniu also explained that there are numerous types of Gu, including the most common ones: golden silkworm Gu, snake Gu, and plant Gu. Of all Gu, the golden silkworm Gu is the most toxic. The Compendium of Materia Medica, citing Cai You Conghua, states that the golden silkworm Gu poses the greatest threat to the human body. After invading the abdomen, it devours the entire stomach and intestines. Furthermore, it possesses a strong resistance, resistant to drowning, fire, or even physical force.
The poisonous insect that appeared on the corpse and was gnawing at the flesh was none other than the golden silkworm poisonous insect!
I didn't believe it, so I tried using the Samadhi Fire. Damn, I was almost scared to death. None of these golden silkworms died, but instead crawled towards me... Damn, I was so scared that I ran around. In the end, Su Xiaoniu suggested using the Sanqing Bell.
I quickly took out the Sanqing Bell and rang it at the golden silkworm Gu. After a series of crisp bell sounds, I saw that the golden silkworm Gu ran out of the bamboo house one after another.
