Jin Xiaoqian smiled slightly and said, "You ask me, you are the right person. In fact, the corpse beetles are beetles from the extremely cold area of ​​the east back. They have thick armor on their bodies and cannot even smash stones. They crawl very quickly. They can survive for many years without food."

"However, corpse beetles also have weaknesses. First, they cannot live without corpses. After leaving corpses for a long time, they will die. Also, they are afraid of fire and heat, so they all live in cold places or dark and humid areas."

"But how do those corpse beetles get into human bodies? Can they get into such thick ice?" Zhang Tianyou asked again.

"Tsk, you underestimate corpse beetles too much. Corpse beetles feed on human corpses. There is a very pointed thing on their heads, which is extremely hard and thick. They naturally cannot drill into the thick ice, but thin ice can still drill into the thin ones." Jin Xiaoqian said with a very knowledgeable look: "And, they like to be quiet. Whoever makes a noise alarm will come out and take revenge."

Hearing this, Zhang Tianyou was stunned because when she and Ning Biru came over just now, it was because he saw someone in the ice that he wanted to smash it to see if he could smash the ice inside, but unexpectedly, the ice cracked itself.

Thinking about it now, when I hit those two times, I must have alarmed the corpse beetles in the corpse. When they drilled outwards, the ice inside cracked.

"So, did these corpse beetles get into those corpses by themselves?" Zhang Tianyou was very determined to break the casserole and asked again.

"This is hard to say." Jin Xiaoqian thought for a while and said: "In some miscellaneous books, there is a mechanism in our tomb in Northeast China. The tomb builders use this kind of insect to protect the ancient tomb."

"Ancient tomb?" Hearing these two words, Zhang Tianyou hurriedly looked around: "You mean, there is an ancient tomb here?"

"Honey!" Jin Xiaoqian raised her fist and hit him angrily, and said in anger: "You have heard someone finish what they say!"

Zhang Tianyou nodded and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, you say, you say."

Jin Xiaoqian then continued: "This is a place for sacrifices, of course not for the ancient tomb, but it is also the most ideal place for testing corpse beetles."

Jin Xiaoqian said the situation of how the corpse beetle penetrated into a human corpse.

It turned out that corpse beetles were egg-generated insects. The Jurchens were very superstitious at that time. They believed in shamanism, so many people would gather during sacrifices.

Moreover, at that time, the sacrifices were sometimes human sacrifices, and the wizards who presided over the sacrifices were really good at killing people.

At that time, they were still slavery. In TV series that played the Qing Dynasty, I often heard people sent to Nikota and sent people wearing armor as slaves. If they really want to be worthy of them, they would be really a slave and would kill them as soon as they say they were killed.

But early on, women could not catch Han people, but would only kill each other. They would catch people from other tribes as slaves, and they would use these people to sacrifice themselves at that time.

Especially when it comes to major sacrifices, they will kill many slaves to show respect for the shaman god and pray to the shaman god to bless them with peace.

At this time, the wizards will not let them die just like this. The wizards will peel the dead's belly and plant the eggs of the "corpse beetle" in the dead's belly. At this time, the body still has body temperature. In a short time, the corpse will rise from the eggs of the corpse beetle.

At the beginning, wizards hatched corpse beetles like this. Later, they thought of a more ruthless way, which was to let the slaves swallow the rice balls or dough before the sacrifice, so that the corpse beetles could float out of the corpse without destroying the body.

Zhang Tianyou was also surprised at first. Why did the wizard float so many corpse beetles for? Only after listening to Jin Xiaoqian's words did he understand.

It turned out that so many corpse beetles emerged by the wizards to guard the ancient tombs. During the Jurchen period, all Jurchen tribes had patriarchs of all tribes. After they died, some people would be buried with them. At that time, they would use these corpse beetles to guard the ancient tombs.

Some people may ask, will the corpse beetle guarding the ancient tomb, and will it not chew the corpse owner's body? Of course, this will not be possible. The person who builds the tomb will seal the main tomb chamber, and the corpse beetle cannot enter.

Of course, this is just a wishful thinking of the wizard. When the corpse beetle is hungry, it is also hiking everywhere. It is also possible that it will follow some unsolid crack and enter the tomb chamber.

I won't go into detail about these. The main thing is that the wizards have surfaced so many corpse beetles to guard the ancient tomb of their Jurchen leader.

Later, after the founding of the Qing Dynasty, this kind of witchcraft was lost, but the ancient tomb of the Jurchens was still there. Therefore, Jin Xiaoqian reminded Zhang Tianyou that if he could enter the ancient tomb of the Jurchens, he would not enter.

After listening for a long time, Zhang Tianyou understood that Jin Xiaoqian didn't want him to enter the ancient tomb of Jurchen.

However, he was also quite scared of this corpse beetle. Not only did he play it, but he crawled very quickly, which was comparable to the scarab beetle.

"Xiaoqian, you have been talking for a long time, why didn't you say the corpses standing inside? What's going on here is so many frozen corpses?" Zhang Tianyou was puzzled by this for a long time and looked at Jin Xiaoqian and asked.

"This is hard to say." Jin Xiaoqian thought for a while and said, "It may be to float more corpse beetles, or it may be to let corpse beetles protect this sacrificial place."

This is equivalent to not saying it, Zhang Tianyou also heard it, and Jin Xiaoqian was not clear about this matter, so he didn't ask again.

The two of them had been walking for a while, but they still didn't see Indi. When they walked forward, there was no way ahead.

Zhang Tianyou and Jin Xiaoqian looked at each other, shrugged helplessly and prepared to go back.

But as soon as the two of them turned around, they suddenly heard a "crying" sound on their heads, which scared them.

Zhang Tianyou hurriedly looked up and saw that they were both frightened. Therefore, they saw a black shadow crawling on the stone teeth above their heads. Because they were too tall, they couldn't see what it was.

Jin Xiaoqian was so scared that she hurriedly grabbed Zhang Tianyou's clothes and whispered: "Pretty, my husband, let's go quickly!"

Zhang Tianyou nodded. He knew that it would be better to have less things than to do in such a place. What does it matter if he is, as long as he doesn't provoke him, he won't touch him.

Zhang Tianyou and Jin Xiaoqian slowly retreated, but just as they were backing, Jin Xiaoqian accidentally kicked a stone, and there was only a slight sound of "pop". The two of them were stunned and frightened and were so scared that they were not moving.

But the black shadow above seemed to hear the noise and suddenly slid down, scaring Zhang Tianyou and Jin Xiaoqian to the point of being so arrogant that they didn't dare to show up.
