Want to run? How can it be that easy?
Partridge Whistle and Red Girl are both people with extraordinary skills, but now it turns out that the mountain scorpion is responsible.
This guy is as big as a Shiba Inu, and looks as dangerous as a six-winged centipede. How can you let him go if you encounter him now?
The two of them took action one after another.
Partridge fired his whistle box gun and fired a burst of ping-ping-bang-bang bang at the mountain scorpion, shooting out bursts of sparks on the mountain scorpion's back.
The red girl and the old foreigner were not behind either. Throwing knives and arrows kept flying out, directly hitting the weak spot in the mountain scorpion's carapace.
However, the mountain scorpion's carapace was like steel, and the three attacks were almost useless.
On the contrary, the mountain scorpion was in pain and ran faster.
Seeing this, the partridge whistle hurriedly said: "Old foreigner, hurry up and let Qingji get angry!"
When the old foreigners heard this, they nodded hurriedly and ran to the chicken coop, releasing the Nuqing chicken they had brought with them and the other two "one-in-a-thousand-mile" roosters.
‘Fenglin, Dragon and Turtle’ have been the Four Spirits of China since ancient times. Since the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there have been totems of black birds, golden phoenixes and so on in the world.
But just like the 'dragon', the phoenix is ​​an illusory thing. It is an immortal bird in mythology.
After its death, it can be reborn in nirvana in the flames, inhabit the sycamore tree, and never end up in a treasureless land. Therefore, it is also a spiritual object that has been most valued by those who practice immortality and alchemy since ancient times.
Nuqing is a sign of the mingling of the phoenix. The emperors of all dynasties located the Dan Palace in Pingshan, Nuqing County, western Hunan, which is probably inseparable from this place name.
If we trace the origin of the phoenix, it is likely that the original form of the phoenix came from a pheasant.
The wild pheasants in the mountains have colorful feathers and a tail as long as a peacock. They can also fly and hover in the air, very close to the phoenix. However, only among domestic poultry can the extremely rare angry pheasant appear. Its eyelids are from above like the phoenix.
born.
The Nuqing chicken is completely different from ordinary chickens and is a natural nemesis of hundreds of poisons.
However, the biological clock in the chicken's body has an obvious effect. As soon as it gets dark, the Nuqing chicken becomes listless, and once it comes to night, its vision and perception ability are seriously reduced. Although it was placed in a bamboo basket and the journey was bumpy and did not fall asleep, it was still drowsy.
In deep silence, Partridge Whistle and the others didn't care much at the moment. They tore open the bamboo basket and threw the three roosters inside towards the Mountain Scorpion from a distance.
The three roosters headed by Nu Qing fluttered their wings and landed in the air. They are innate enemies with poison. As long as they see them, they will definitely fight "with you and without me, with me and without you."
Therefore, although the three chickens were in low spirits under the moonlight, when they suddenly encountered the mountain scorpion, their eyes were red, and as soon as they landed, they chased each other and pecked them randomly.
Perhaps the mountain scorpion was driven to panic and knew that he could not escape. Instead of running away, he became more ferocious and turned around to fight with the angry chicken and the two roosters.
The mountain scorpion and the roosters were fighting fiercely, and the partridge whistle suddenly saw a flash of light. Looking closer, he saw that the mountain scorpion was nailed to the ground with a red iron sword through his head.
When everyone was wondering where the iron sword came from, they saw Zhang Lin make a move with his hand, and the iron sword flew back into his hand, and then disappeared like a magic trick.
Miss Hong was confused when she saw it and said, "Does the Taoist master also know the Moon Gate technique?"
Before Zhang Lin could say anything, Partridge Whistle cupped his hands and said, "I heard that there is a magical power called 'Xumina Mustard Seed' in the Taoist Sect. When I saw it today, it is indeed extraordinary."
Zhang Lindao: "The leader who can move mountains is very knowledgeable. The poor Taoist has just used it. It is indeed the magical power of our Taoist sect. He has the universe in his sleeves. However, the poor Taoist has not been able to practice at home, so now he only collects some trivial things."
When the red girl heard this, she pursed her lips and said, "I think it's no different from my Moon Gate trick."
As he spoke, he changed his flying knife in an attempt to prove it.
The two of them also smiled when they heard this, and Zhang Lin didn't care much about it.
The Qiankun in the Sleeve is a great magical power, but as he said, his current cultivation is not enough, and the power and ability he has learned are not as good as the magical power itself.
In this way, it cost him more than five thousand creation points, and the red iron sword cost him more than four thousand. Fortunately, he knew the basics of sword control, and only spent two thousand to deduce it to the point of entering the palace.
Now, he can be regarded as "successful in practice"
It's easy to deal with an incompetent mountain scorpion.
While the three of them were talking, Hua Ling suddenly said, "Senior brother, look, what happened to the mountain scorpion?"
Hearing Hua Ling's words, several people hurriedly looked at the body of Mountain Scorpion.
I saw that for some reason, the back of the mountain scorpion actually bulged up, making the back shell almost transparent.
Hua Ling saw the partridge whistle calling out, and when a few people saw it, the mountain scorpion suddenly made a muffled sound, like cracking silk.
The scorpion's back was split in the middle, and a wisp of white gas came out from it. It was shaped like mercury and pressed directly against the 'Jade Rabbit'.
Several people saw the strange white mist emerging from the scorpion's back and quickly took a few steps back.
Zhang Lin's Iron Sword appeared in his hand again, its red light flashing with uncertain brightness.
At this time, the mountain breeze blew gently, and the white mist melted away, and the mountain scorpion split open from its back, like a big black mouth, and a small white scorpion crawled out of it. It broke free from the mother scorpion's back and looked around.
Ran away in random directions.
Seeing it was a little scorpion, everyone felt relieved.
And the angry chicken saw many red and white little scorpions crawling out from the back of the female scorpion. They were natural enemies with incompatible physical properties. How could they let it go?
The Nuqing Chicken immediately fluttered its wings and pounced on the little scorpions, tearing them apart and swallowing them one by one. The other two roosters also stepped forward one after another, and swept away dozens of little scorpions in an instant like a whirlwind.
Not even half of them escaped, and all of them were buried in the chicken's belly.
Rong Baoxiaoye saw it from the side, slapped his head with his hand, and whistled to the partridge: "It turns out that the mountain scorpion got into the coffin to use the yin energy to give birth..."
The local poisons in Pingshan are all very poisonous, and they absorb the medicinal properties of the mountain all the year round, so they like to hide in dark and remote places.
Especially when the mother mountain scorpion is giving birth, it likes to dig into coffins and grave soil.
There is a folk proverb circulating near Laoxiong Ridge - Scorpion has never had a mother since he was a child.
The local mountain scorpions only give birth once in their lives, and they all give birth from behind. When the young scorpions are born, the old scorpions die.
Even if Zhang Lin hadn't taken action, the mountain scorpion wouldn't have survived for more than a few days.
The reason why a female scorpion burrows into a coffin containing a corpse is because the dark corpse energy in the coffin can temporarily relieve the pain of death due to a split back. Most local mountain people know that the little scorpions produced by a female scorpion have always been
They are all numbers thirty to six.
The number is neither more nor less, just as many as a pair of dominoes. Therefore, some people also call mountain scorpions dominoes.
Partridge Whistle had never been to Lao Xiong Ridge, a place with fierce caves. Although he was well-informed, he still had some things he didn't know, and he didn't understand the strange habits of the local mountain scorpions.
Zhang Lin, Miss Hong and others didn't even know about this. Now they heard Rong Baoxiao talk about Genmiao, and then they learned about it.
Now that the mountain scorpions have been eliminated, Partridge Whistle and Red Girl are thinking about the artifacts in the coffin and want to see the general of the Yuan Dynasty, so they go forward to check the things in the coffin.
The two men walked to the coffin carrying swords and guns. They first looked at the motionless old ape lying on the bottom of the coffin, and then carefully looked at the purple gold coffin.
I could see a strange beast carrying the coffin cast at the bottom. They were all thick, scaly, half-man, half-beast.
The scale monster carrying the coffin not only shows that the corpse in the coffin has a respected status, but also serves as a moisture-proof function in the tomb, making the purple gold coffin slightly higher than the ground. If rainwater seeps into the tomb, even if it is difficult to drain it all for a while, it will not soak the coffin. submerged.
The white-haired old ape was hit by the coffin. Fortunately, there was a structure at the bottom of the coffin for a strange beast to carry the coffin, and there was still a gap from the ground. Moreover, there were many fallen leaves in the dense forest that were beaten down by the rain, covering the ground. It was so thick and strong, and the white ape's muscles and bones were strong, that it survived a natural disaster, but its injuries were not minor.
The partridge whistle leaned down and took a lantern to take a photo of the old ape at the bottom of the coffin.
I saw that the white-haired ape had blood flowing from its mouth and nose, and it was motionless under the pressure, as if it was dead.
The Partridge Whistle thought to himself: This old monkey's head was still moving just now, but why is it not moving now?
Thinking of this, I raised my foot and kicked the exposed arm. As expected, the old ape at the bottom of the coffin shrank his arms to dodge, opened his eyes and slunk around, whistled at the partridge, and the red girl grinned and made an intimidating gesture. , in addition to the fear in his eyes, there was also a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
When the partridge whistle saw the cunning look on the ape's face, he knew that it was definitely not a kind person.
Everything in this world comes and goes naturally. As you live longer, your original coat color will fade away, turning from gray to white, and then from white to silver. To this extent, you are no longer a permanent thing, and you are either a fairy or a monster. , can understand people's hearts.
I heard from Rong Baoxiao that the group of monkeys near the White Ape Cave in Pingshan Mountain often intercepted lone guests and snatched food, causing many lives to be lost. Even clothes and goods were not spared. You fought for them to get into the monkey cave. They also dressed up and swaggered in the mountains like living people. Most of them were led by this ape to commit evil deeds.
The Partridge Whistle estimated that that guy and the old Li from the Ancient Li Monument were all the same thing. He had already had murderous intentions in his heart, so he immediately wanted to shoot the old ape and cancel the name of Baiyuan Cave.
But Miss Hong didn't take Rong Baoxiaoye's words seriously about the monkeys harming people, and she had never seen the monkeys harm people with her own eyes. Besides, the old ape was seriously injured, and he wouldn't be able to survive for a few days if he was released. So he persuaded Partridge Whistle to be merciful.
Considering that the white ape has only one breath left, let him live for a few more days. There are so many brothers who have died today, and we must seek some good fortune for them.
While the two were talking, a flash of light suddenly flashed by, and the old ape was decapitated.
Seeing this, Miss Hong turned around and looked angrily at Zhang Lin, who was shaking off the blood from his iron sword. Before he could speak, Zhang Lin looked at a few people and smiled and said: "Sorry, if something appears abnormal, it is an evil spirit. I am As a cultivator, it is your duty to slay demons and demons..."
Miss Hong frowned and said, "But it can't live for a few days!"
"Who knows?" Zhang Lin said with a smile: "Didn't the mountain-moving leader say that it is going through a catastrophe? But you don't know that its catastrophe may not be us.
For us, this old ape is both fate and calamity.
As the saying goes: One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon.
Its life and death depend on our thoughts.
If it crosses over, it might wander into a state of trance and achieve immortality. How can it only live for a few days? But..."
Zhang Lin turned around and looked into the distance and said: "Unfortunately, it survived you, but not Pindao."
After hearing this, several people looked at the old ape's body and felt that what Zhang Lin said was very reasonable.
For a moment, Miss Hong was speechless. But when she saw that the old ape was dead, she didn't worry about it anymore, because they were all accustomed to life and death. Now that big things were going on, it was more important to open the coffin and retrieve the treasure. So, how could they have time to care about his life or death?
A few people walked around the old ape's corpse to avoid staining their feet with blood, and then stood on the side of the purple gold coffin, leaning forward under the moonlight to see what was inside the coffin.
At this time, the shadow of the moon fell, and a cold and dim light shone in the coffin. The body of the bald-tailed old monkey was still stacked with the body of the Yuan Dynasty general.
When the Partridge Whistle saw it, he signaled Miss Hong and the others to hang centipedes on the mountain ladder to pull up the bald-tailed monkey's body.
Several people tried their best to pick it out of the coffin and throw it away under a tree in the distance.
Without the bald-tailed old monkey blocking the way, the ancient corpse lying flat in the coffin can be clearly seen.
Although the Yuan Dynasty zombie has been dead for nearly seven hundred years, even the purple embroidered brocade robe he wore has begun to deteriorate.
But the appearance of the ancient corpse has not changed. Only the skin of the whole body is purple and stiff. The messy hair is half covering the head and face. The body is very tall. Although it has been dead for hundreds of years, the murderous aura of the handsome and awe-inspiring body has not dissipated yet.
.
There were only Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty army.
At that time, there were people from the Mobei countries in the Western Regions and even Goryeo, as well as Han and Yi people. The general's hair color and appearance now have strong characteristics of the Western Regions. It seems that he came from an unknown tribe in the Western Regions.
But seeing that his mouth was tightly closed and his cheeks looked slightly bulging, they were not sunken or shriveled, so it seemed that there was a precious treasure in his mouth.
The Partridge Whistle was hoping that the Yuan Dynasty general would have a pearl in his mouth, but he also knew it.
The corpses of princes and nobles always have three kinds of things in their mouths:
One is Zhuyan Powder, which is an antiseptic medicine with mercury as the main raw material.
The second is jade. Jade can produce cold. The cool and moist jade is made into the shape of a human tongue and is put into the mouth of the deceased when it is inhaled. The cool jade can refresh the nine orifices and prevent the corpse from decaying.
The most precious ones are the moonlight pearls or exotic pearls produced on the seabed.
As for the method of containing pressure-mouthed copper coins, it was almost never used by ancient nobles.
Looking at the zombie in the purple-gold nanmu coffin in front of him, it has always been exposed to the night wind, but the shrinkage and collapse of the skin and flesh are not obvious. There must be special embalming methods in the corpse.
But when Partridge Whistle took a closer look, he was immediately surprised. It turned out that the nostrils and ears of the zombies were filled with pure gold powder. This had never happened before in the world. How could there be gold in the bodies of zombies in the Yuan Dynasty?
?
The partridge whistle was so surprised that he pressed the dead body's ear with the muzzle of his gun. A piece of gold powder immediately fell out, and a lot of dirty blood poured out from the ear hole. The blood flowed into the coffin, and the smell was terrible.
Partridge Whistle was even more confused, but Hua Ling and the old foreigner present only helped him, and Miss Hong joined the industry halfway. As for Zhang Lin, although he has the skill of Feng Shui, he only burns incense at home, so he is the only one
One person has fighting experience.
He couldn't figure out any clues, and he couldn't count on anyone else. Now he had no choice but to pry open the corpse's mouth to see what happened.
Just as he was waiting for the partridge whistle to enter the coffin and unveil the body, he suddenly heard a soft sound behind the tree. He quickly looked up and saw a tree trunk with a crooked neck shaking slightly, and the leaves fell one after another, as if it was being pushed hard by someone.
