When everyone heard something strange in the forest, they all turned around and looked somewhere else.
It was pitch dark in the forest at this time. Although there was moonlight, there was no reason for it to be seen.
While everyone was wondering, Zhang Lin frowned and said: "Everyone, be careful, something is coming!"
The partridge whistled: "Could it be that those thieving monkeys have returned again? If the white ape has been eliminated by the Taoist priest, why are they here? To collect the white ape's corpse?"
Zhang Lindao: "I still recognize Monkey Pindao. He's not a monkey, he looks like a scorpion, but he doesn't look like..."
Miss Hong heard this and said curiously: "Taoist Priest, can you see in the dark?"
When Zhang Lin couldn't reply, Rong Baoxiaoyi jumped up more than a foot high on the spot and shouted: "It's such a big thing that I forgot about it. Uncle Partridge, the time has passed long ago, but now it's..."
What day is it?"
Several people saw Rong Baoxiao's expression changed drastically. They didn't know what frightened him, and he seemed to have tricked his body. They didn't understand what he meant, so they all said, "What day is it?"
Rong Baoxiaoye had already picked up the chicken coop, held it in his arms and shook it vigorously. He had also remembered the date and time: "I would like to teach you all, sir, when midnight comes, the mountain scorpion will be alone."
, Meet two in pairs. The Taoist priest has just killed a female scorpion, and there must be an even more ruthless male scorpion hiding nearby.
Everyone in the mountains of Lao Xiongling knows that male scorpions are the most vicious among mountain scorpions. Although they are smaller in size than female scorpions, their venom is fierce and extremely difficult to deal with."
Rong Baoxiao was frightened and panicked. There was a layer of sweat on his forehead. The partridge whistle held him down and said, "Why are you panicking? It's just another mountain scorpion. How big a storm can it cause? Not to mention that it grows here.
With the mirror box in my hand, not to mention a single mountain scorpion, just a group of them."
When Rong Baoxiao heard this, he quickly shrank behind Zhang Lin.
Only then did he remember that the God of Death here was much more evil than the mountain scorpion, so there was no need for him to be afraid.
At this time, Miss Hong suddenly pointed to the swinging tree whistle in the distance and shouted in a low voice: "Look, is there something on that tree?"
Everyone was about to pass after hearing the news, but at this moment, they could see clearly under the moonlight.
I saw a pitch-black mountain scorpion hanging on the tree with a crooked neck. The scorpion hung upside down on the tree, like a pitch-black ancient pipa. If it moved slightly, the hard shell of the limbs on its body would rub like iron leaves.
However, there is a sound, and the energy is extremely fierce, no less than the six-winged centipede hiding in the Dan Palace.
Dongmanzi was surprised and said: "My master is the black pipa spirit among the scorpions in the mountains of western Hunan..."
Before he finished speaking, the black pipa hanging upside down from the tree stretched out its jaws and revealed a pair of bloody claws, and suddenly descended from the crooked old tree.
Scorpions are unusual in their nature. They are all extremely anxious and anxious. Some people can do decisive things such as suicide, but not everyone can do it. However, when it comes to poisonous insects, only mountain scorpions can commit suicide.
If you put a scorpion in a glass bottle and shine it with a convex fire mirror in the sun, the scorpion will be in pain and unable to escape in the bottle, so it will sting itself to death with its tail tip turned upside down.
Sex is evident.
When the black lute came down from the tree, it felt that the female scorpion was dead and there was no other scorpion breath.
He knew that his family, except for himself, might have been harmed by the creature in front of him, so he went crazy, and his whole body was full of resentment. It circled at the bottom of the tree like a gust of black wind, and the crooked-necked tree was suddenly struck by it.
It was uprooted and fell into the bushes with a crash. The mountain scorpion, which was shaped like a black lute, hid deep in the grass and trees. Only the grass was stirred and it was approaching the purple golden coffin quickly and without any trace.
Seeing this, the Partridge Whistle secretly screamed: "It's coming so fast." He raised the twenty-ring mirror box gun in his hand and swept it with a long shot.
The long grass cut by the bullets fell down with a "swish", but the forest was dense and overgrown with weeds, and it was not clear whether it hit the black pipa.
In an instant, the twenty rounds of bullets in the partridge whistle magazine were gone, while the black pipa was still hiding in the grass and running towards it.
The Partridge Whistle could only keep his eyes fixed on the traces of the Mountain Scorpion stirring the grass, and quickly replaced the magazine in his hand. He also shouted at the old foreigner and the red girl to quickly open the cage and let the chickens go, and asked Hua Ling and Rong Baoxiaoye to step back.
.
There are too many obstacles in this dense forest. It is difficult to shoot the target from a little distance. The only way is to let the roosters go to fight.
In fact, Miss Hong and the others didn't have to listen to the order. They had already thrown the three sleeping roosters outside the bamboo basket. However, the roosters were all full, and the night was getting dark. Even though the mortal enemy was right in front of them, they were completely unable to cheer up.
The spirit rushed over and fought hard. The old foreigner was so anxious that he was helpless. He had to turn around, pull out the arrow, and shoot towards the grass.
And Black Pipa used the grass to get closer and closer.
Sooner or later, in the gap between everyone's attacks, the black pipa was already close and flew out from the grass. The target was Zhang Lin, who was closest to the grass.
The red girl was holding the angry chicken, and the old foreigner and the partridge whistle were taking arrows and changing the magazines. Hua Ling, Rong Baoxiaohei were fighting Wu Zha again. At this time, the few people saw the black pipa rushing towards Zhang Lin, and they couldn't help it at all.
To support Yi Er, he had to remind: "Taoist Master, be careful!"
In fact, before several people reminded him, Zhang Lin stood at the front when the black pipa appeared, waiting for this moment.
Everyone was worried and anxious, and lightning flashed.
Under the moonlight, only a little cold red light was visible. Zhang Lin had sheathed his sword. The menacing black pipa seemed to have hit the wall, fell three steps away from Zhang Lin, and broke into two pieces.
Black and red blood flowed out, and the body of Black Pipa twitched a few times, completely losing its breath, leaving several people stunned.
Rong Baoxiao was so scared that he even swallowed his saliva.
This was the Black Pipa that was ten times more ferocious than the mountain scorpion just now, and it died like this?
Seeing this, the Partridge Whistle and the others cleaned up the guys and came forward to compliment: "I don't know how extraordinary the long sword skills are. I admire you!"
Zhang Lindao: "What I get by chance is nothing. Now that the male and female of the mountain scorpions have been eliminated, I'll wait and see what's in the coffin, and then go back quickly. Don't let Mr. Boss and the others wait in a hurry."
Partridge Whistle nodded and said: "That's exactly what it should be!"
As they spoke, several people turned around and took a breath of air.
It turned out that the Yuan Dynasty zombie in the purple gold coffin, at some point, silently sat up from the coffin, with his fingers and claws spread out, as if he was about to climb out of the coffin.
At this time, the moonlight was scattered, like frost all over the ground, and the surroundings were so opaque. Partridge Whistle and others all saw it clearly, and they all said: "What a weird thing, how did the zombie of the Yuan Dynasty sit up from the coffin on its own? I'm afraid?"
It’s a zombie turning into a walking zombie!”
The Partridge Whistle knew that the corpse king of the Yuan Dynasty was tall and different from ordinary people. He must have been a strange person with both internal and external cultivation during his lifetime. The transformation of the corpse was very trivial. Seeing that something happened suddenly, he couldn't explain it, so he struck first to gain advantage. Suddenly he turned around.
Pull out your guns and shoot.
Zhang Lin frowned slightly when he saw it.
Thanks to his bloodline, he could see at night, and could vaguely see something behind the corpse king. Now he saw the partridge whistle making his move, and hurriedly stopped him and said: "Wait a minute, there is no zombie aura. I don't think it's a fake corpse. Let's take a closer look. Then...
What is behind the Corpse King?"
After hearing this, several people looked carefully. They saw a fluffy face peeking out from behind the ancient corpse sitting up in the coffin, and the person winking at it turned out to be a monkey.
It turned out that the monkey saw that the poisonous scorpion in the coffin was dead, and that another black pipa was entangled by the Partridge Whistle and others in the distance, so it wanted to take advantage of everyone's unpreparedness to rescue the lifeless old ape who was pressed under the coffin.
.
It sneaked into the coffin quietly and wanted to move the body of the Yuan Dynasty general out so as to reduce the weight of the purple gold coffin.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he pushed the zombie up from behind, Zhang Lin solved the black pipa and asked everyone to touch the light weapon.
Now being stared at by several people, the monkey saw that the black pipa disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the old ape lost his breath. He knew in his heart that the human being in front of him was far more powerful than the black pipa, the monkey king, so he exclaimed and peed.
The purple and gold coffin jumped out of the ground, climbed the tree and escaped into the forest.
As soon as the monkey escaped, the zombie in the coffin lost its support and lay down again with a clucking sound. Partridge Whistle was angry and amused at the sight, and cursed in his heart: "What a cunning monkey, you can escape."
So quick and easy.”
When everyone saw that it was really not a zombie, their hearts dropped.
But Partridge Whistle did not take it lightly. On the contrary, he felt that there was something strange about the ancient corpse in the coffin.
The general of the Yuan Dynasty had been dead for at least hundreds of years. He remained in the ground and was so depressed that he became stiff. As the saying goes: a name must have a reason. At that time, the zombie's stiffness should also be written as: stiff,
It means that the zombies underground are like withered tree trunks. It can also be interpreted that the corpses that do not rot are zombies. But even if the corpses are not rotten, they must be as stiff as wood and the joints cannot bend. However, the monkey pushed the ancient zombies out of the coffin.
He had to sit up. Could it be that the zombie's body was as good as that of a living person, and there was no difference between it and a living person?
In the remote mountainous areas of Hunan, Guizhou, eastern Guangdong, and western Guangdong, there are often legends about zombies turning into spirits: the zombies that have become spirits still use the corpse coffins as their nests, covered with hair, and every night when night falls,
He would come out of the coffin to plunder people and animals and eat them, and the people called him the "King of Corpses".
There is another saying that the reason why there is a theory of corpse king is because the deceased had a prominent status during his lifetime, and the funerary objects and embalming objects are all rare and mysterious artifacts. Once he pretends to be a corpse, his corpse will definitely transform into a corpse.
It is so powerful that it is difficult to subdue it with ordinary zodiac paper talismans or magic weapons such as peach wood swords.
Therefore, the corpse king must have been a nobleman during his lifetime. Ordinary people who were buried poorly would not be lucky enough to be named the corpse king even if they were found dead after death.
In fact, this is a kind of prejudice that represents the ancient people's admiration for the powerful.
There are rumors that the Corpse King of Xiangxi appears once in a hundred years, but most of them are false. The ancient zombies seen by different witnesses may not be the same zombie.
Previously, Rong Baoxiao said that a herbal collector had said that he saw the Corpse King in the crevices of Pingshan Mountain. It might be the mummy whose spine was broken by the Partridge Whistle kicking with Kuixing. Judging from his attire, he was probably buried in the tomb.
of samurai.
Now Partridge Whistle saw that the mouth and nose of the ancient corpse in the purple gold coffin were filled with gold powder. Moreover, the corpse seemed to be withered, but its face was lifelike and its heroic posture was still there. It could also bend at the waist and sit up in the coffin.
, they speculated that there was something rare hidden in the body of this Yuan Dynasty zombie.
Taoist Banshan searched all treasures in the world, just to find a 'Muchen Bead' hidden in the mouth of an ancient corpse.
In addition, after spending the past few days with Zhang Lin, I have grown to admire him deeply. I have already believed his prophecy that I can find clues to the Muchen Bead. Now that I have encountered such a situation, Partridge Whistle will not let him go easily.
.
But the zombie had a weird appearance, so he had to be on guard, so he had to break his bones and cramps first, and then search carefully on his body, which was a foolproof strategy.
Partridge Whistle had a thought in his mind and made up his mind to step forward to take action. Suddenly he heard the roar of the wind behind his head. He was looking in all directions and he hurriedly dodged to avoid it. He only saw a stone the size of a fist passing by.
, hit the wall of the Purple Gold Coffin forcefully.
The group of monkeys hiding in the forest knew that the old ape had been killed by several people, so they picked up stones and threw them at the three people. They wanted to take revenge.
It's just that the monkeys are afraid of a few people with murderous auras, and the monkeys are afraid of chickens. Now there is a strange kind of chicken, the angry chicken of the world's phoenix species, so no monkey dares to get even half a step closer, and they only scream and throw stones from a distance.
These monkeys live in deep mountains and old forests and are extremely stubborn.
When they met a passing merchant, they would follow them quietly. When they reached the dangerous path on the cliff, they would suddenly throw rocks at them.
When a merchant is suddenly unable to prevent himself, or slips and falls into a deep valley, or is injured by a sore on a stone, his life is often wasted by them, and all his clothes and dry food are plundered by them.
This group of wild monkeys are accustomed to the benefits and do not take outsiders seriously. They have long become a scourge in the Old Xiong Ridge, even more difficult to deal with than bandits.
At the moment, large and small stones in the forest were like locusts, whizzing down, and a few people either looked for cover or used their skills to dodge.
Rong Baoxiao was unable to dodge, and was hit on the back of the head by one of the rocks. He felt stars popping out in front of his eyes.
He reached out and touched the back of his head, only to see that his hands were covered with sticky blood. Seeing this, he became angry and cursed: "Everyone deceives me for being timid, but even the damn wild monkeys don't touch me."
Keep it in mind so that you monkeys can know that even clay figures have three-thirds of earth nature!"
While yelling and scolding, he also picked up stones and threw them back, but there were too many monkeys in the group, and a shower of stones hit him, which immediately hit him so hard that he jumped up with his head in his arms and hurriedly hid next to the partridge whistle.
Although Partridge Whistle and Red Girl were both agile characters, there were too many rocks thrown by the wild monkeys, and they were inevitably hit several times.
Seeing that Rong Baoxiao's head was bleeding profusely, Partridge Whistle pushed him and Miss Hong into the purple gold coffin to hide for a while.
Fortunately, the coffin was surprisingly large and could easily accommodate three or four people.
He himself held the thick coffin cover in his hands and turned around, like a whirlwind, blocking the stones flying from all directions.
The Partridge Whistle saw Zhang Lin using talisman paper to summon huge rocks to resist the flying stones, and hurriedly said: "Taoist Priest, it seems that we can't do anything without dealing with these monkeys. Now the monkeys are bullying people too much, and they are also causing trouble here.
What if we remove it?”
Zhang Linda said: "There are too many flying rocks, it's difficult to get over. What can you do? Why don't you buy some talismans? Use huge rocks to block the flying rocks and slowly get over."
Partridge whistle "..."
When Zhang Lin saw that the partridge whistle was silent, he lowered his head in frustration. Another business deal was gone.
When Partridge Whistle saw Zhang Lin looking like he was losing blood, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
He also wanted to buy some talismans for Hua Ling and the old foreigners to protect themselves, but other talismans were too expensive.
Because he had no money to buy the talisman, Partridge Whistle had long been filled with unknown anger. Now the group of monkeys were in the way and bothered them again and again.
However, no one understands the monkey language, and there is no way to encourage them to leave. Now we have to ruthlessly attack the mountain and shock the tiger, killing one to serve as a warning to hundreds of others to avoid future troubles.
Thinking of this, Partridge Sentinel suddenly became murderous.
Because he is obsessed with finding the Muchen Bead, Partridge Whistle already has inner demons in his heart.
Really, anger makes people sad, and murderous thoughts can be as uncontrollable as the Yellow River bursting its banks.
Anyway, killing one is killing, killing a hundred is also killing.
A light flashed in the partridge whistle's eyes. Gu Lengzi raised the mirrored box behind the coffin cover and pulled the trigger one after another. The sound of bullets being fired pierced the night sky. With every gunshot, a monkey fell upside down from the tree.
Coming down, he was an accurate shot that could extinguish incense from a hundred steps away. His bullets were so accurate that every monkey was shot in the middle of the eyebrow. Before it fell to the ground from mid-air, the bullet penetrated the brain and died.
But in the blink of an eye, twenty monkeys were killed with twenty bullets.
Seeing this, the other monkeys, big and small, were so frightened that they froze, holding tree branches and staring with monkey eyes motionless, as if they were wood carvings and clay sculptures. Some were even so frightened that they excreted and urinated, with monkey urine dripping wetly from their front and back.
In the end, I don't know which monkey took the lead, and with a hiss, the group of monkeys scrambled and fled deep into the forest at the risk of their lives, never daring to come back again.
Chapter completed!
