We still planned to drive to Yunnan this time, so we happened to use all the gas coupons given by the car dealership manager before. We were going to pick up two large iron barrels of gasoline directly from the oil depot. When we returned to the backyard, we talked so much nonsense that there was nothing we could do in the car. Take it. I smiled without saying a word, took out the spirit ball, and threw it upward into the big iron bucket. A blue light flashed and the bucket disappeared. I whispered to Old Hu that I had newly discovered a function of the spirit ball. It can store a certain amount of items in a space and can still take them out when used. You have to keep it a secret for me. If others find out, I will be in countless trouble. Lao Hu also knew this, and said to me, don't worry, the people who know this are all our own, and no one will tell it.

Ever since Lao Hu knew that my spirit ball could collect things, he started to prepare more things. He knew that we needed to walk a section of water to enter the Worm Valley. He found his old man and found an iron boat. After getting it to the backyard, he said to me, put this away as well, as it will be needed when the time comes. I heard Mr. Chen say, they also inquired that there was a waterway, but the locals said there was something in the water. We don’t need to be afraid now that we have this. Although it is useful, I really didn’t expect him to come back with such a thing. Since the reconciliation between him and his old man, he, a second-generation official, has become more and more self-conscious. A few days ago, Lao Hu got me a driver's license, which is the kind issued by the army and can drive any car. Now that Lao Hu has money in his pocket, he can now mail money to his comrades' families on a monthly basis. His worries have been resolved, and he has become more confident. The shadows left behind in the army have also disappeared. His brain was easy to use originally, but now that he has been exposed to it more, his financial management skills are much better than mine. He basically has no need for savings now, so he is very comfortable working as a charterer. When everything was ready, we set off with a small backpack each. I really felt like going out to play. Before I left, I called my mother and told me that I was going to Yunnan with my friends. Don’t worry if they can’t find me.

Along the way, Miss Hu Yang and I drove in three shifts and only rested for two nights on the road. The rest of the time we drove 24 hours a day. On the sixth day, we arrived at the Zhelong Village that Blind Chen was talking about. Originally, Old Hu said we should go into the village to have a rest before setting off. But I refused. My reason is that the people here are still very xenophobic. They always think that the things in Worm Valley belong to their village. Although they are not able to get it, they will not let outsiders get it. We parked the car in a remote place, then went directly into the mountain and waited until we entered the Worm Valley to find a place to rest. I don’t want anyone to discover us and follow us into the mountains. If many people die in the mountains, it will attract the attention of the police.

They thought it made sense, so we didn't stop at Zhecheng Village but drove in. When we were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, we saw no one around, so we got out of the car. I put the car into the space. Fortunately, I earned enough repair points before and upgraded the space. Otherwise, it would be really hard to install the car. After passing through the dense forest, there are many wooden sticks standing in the forest, with cow heads stuck on the wooden sticks. The fat man asked Lao Hu what he was doing. Lao Hu replied that in many ethnic minority areas, inserting a cow's head means there is danger ahead, so we have to be careful. After walking through the dense forest, I heard the sound of water. Looking for the sound of water, I continued walking in and saw a big river flowing through Zhelong Mountain to Insect Valley. The water flowed into a large cave. Old Hu looked at the waterside and told us that the water was deep enough and our boat should be able to float.

Taking the boat out of the space, we only brought carry-on backpacks to save weight. Because this boat can carry five people, it has its own paddle. Before going into the water, I took out a large bag of medicinal powder from the space. They were used to me taking things out of the space. They just found it convenient and nothing else. This powder is a powerful insecticide. I don’t care what’s in the water. Kill me first and then pour it down. The water is flowing through. This powder is right in front of our boat....

Once the boat is in the water, it can go very fast on its own without paddling as it follows the current. Just use a paddle to prop it up when there are rocks. When entering a wider area of ​​the cave, the water flow begins to slow down. At this time, you have to use a paddle to paddle the water. It is very dark inside the cave. Fortunately, there is a bright flashlight brought by Miss Yang. Looking into the cave, one can see iron chains hanging from the roof of the cave, and there seems to be something tied to the iron chains. Only when I got closer did I realize that what was hanging upside down was a human-shaped stone cave. When the fat man said it, I was shocked. It turned out to be a stone chrysalis.

I said to the fat man, look carefully, that one is not a stone. This kind of human pupa feeds insect eggs into the person while he is alive, and then uses stone slurry to seal all the five senses and seven orifices of the person. The insect eggs hatch in the human body and eat all the human internal organs, leaving only a piece of skin. Even though they look like stones now, there are still living and dormant bugs inside. When they feel the heat, they will burst out of their pupae, so we have to stay close to them and stay away from them, and don’t breathe on them to speed up their hatching. When they come out, they will burrow into our skin and then Eggs are laid inside.

Miss Yang didn't dare to look at her, and squatted directly on the boat, keeping herself away from the chrysalis. The other people squatted down as soon as they saw it, and the fat man was even worse. I told him that he vomited. I didn't care so much, but lit a small pile of powder on the stern of the boat. This powder burned without flames, only smoke. We can cover our breath as much as possible, so that the bugs in the stone will not be awakened by our human breath. I took out the masks from the space and gave them to everyone so that they could block their breathing.

Sure enough, not a single stone pupa fell down until we rowed to the other side of the cave entrance.

After we got out of the hole and dragged the boat ashore, I put the boat back into the space. Then everyone breathed a sigh of relief and took off their masks.

The fat man said at this moment, this King Xian is really not a human being, he did such a cruel thing. I smiled and said, okay, there have been many people who have used the technique since ancient times. As I spoke, I threw the spirit ball into the cave. This kind of magic was still used by the chieftains here until liberation to punish disobedient villagers.

After a while, the spirit ball flew back to my hand. It looked like there were quite a few resentful spirits inside. When Fatty heard that this situation existed before liberation, he became very angry. Lao Hu said,"Xiao Bei, how do you know this?" I replied that I had read the medical books handed down from my ancestors, and there were also records of this kind of thing. There are also many ways to cure the poison, but some minority areas are really too closed, and outsiders have no way to get the cure method from them. If you don’t know how to remove the poison, let alone how to remove it. One of my ancestors was invited to see a doctor by a chieftain in the mid-Qing Dynasty, and he never came back. Later, the clan also asked people to look for him, and later learned that he was killed by the chieftain because he wanted to learn about Gu. When Lao Hu heard this, he also said, Fortunately, the whole country is now peaceful, and this kind of thing will never happen again in the future.
