The scholar glanced at the branch diagonally above him, where hung a beautiful woman with a sweet smile.
Everyone Xue is obviously here?!
Li Changan smiled and said:
"How can a stunning beauty like Mr. Xue smell like fish all over her body..."
Fishy smell? Hearing Li Changan mention this, the scholar seemed to be able to smell a trace of it, and the source... seemed to be Mr. Xue.
"...It just so happens that the fragrance is very fragrant around me right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soft female voice sounded out one after another.
"The little Taoist priest looks serious. Unexpectedly, he is also a talker, and he listens very well when he speaks."
Why!?
The scholar looked over with wide eyes, and saw ripples in the mist. In the blink of an eye, a beautiful woman with a handsome figure but a charming face was leaning against the tree, playing with a silver-white exquisite dagger in her hand. She was exactly
Then Xue everyone.
Mr. Xue was like a cat, jumping from one branch to another lightly. During this period, he gave the scholar a look and a chuckle, and the scholar was immediately fascinated.
She Shi Shiran walked to the cocoon of "Master Xue", frowned and looked at it.
"Smiling silly."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and patted "Master Xue" on the head. "Master Xue" immediately transformed into the appearance of Li Changan. After another pat, he turned into a strange man. Li Changan looked vaguely familiar. Looking back carefully, this was not the same person as that day.
Is that the boatman in the cabin?
No wonder it smells fishy!
Li Changan has used the dragon jade magic talisman more, and his nose is much more sensitive than ordinary people. He has already discovered that the Xue master hanging on the tree is not the real person. But so what? Even if he exposes others, he will not be aware of the current situation.
No benefit.
It wasn't until today that he smelled a faint aroma, and then he took the risk to reveal Niu Xiucai's identity. In fact, he had also smelled the aroma once a few days ago, but it passed by in a flash, and he didn't have time to think about it.
Now, the Xue family has gone and come back again.
"Everyone Xue left and came back." Li Changan directly pointed out her whereabouts, "I guess there must be a complete plan."
Everyone Xue didn't answer. Instead, he jumped up to Li Changan and asked with a smile: "Little Taoist priest, who do you think I am from?"
Li Changan blinked his eyes, thinking how could I see this? I am blind. But I have heard people say that people in the north are more like cattle, sheep, donkeys and horses, and people in the south are more like fish, crabs, turtles and shrimps. You are old and look like
The Bastard of the Mountains.
This witticism kept spinning in Li Changan's stomach, but did not come out. Over there, the Xue family hugged their knees, sat on the tree, and told stories.
"I'm from Lingnan. Where we live, seven parts are mountains and two parts are water, and only one part is farmland. Every winter, when there is a bad year, people die one by one in the village, and when there is a good year, people die one by one in each household.
Dead people are also strange, how come people are like those weeds and never die."
"My hometown is just a remote village, and it can't stand the trouble."
"Fortunately, there is a big spider in the nearby mountains and swamps, and white beads occasionally grow out of the silk sacs. The nobles in the Central Plains like this kind of orb very much. If you find one, you can exchange it for the whole village to spend the winter.
of food.”
"The name of this kind of spider is 'car spider', which means a spider as big as a wheel. But this is the name of the Han people. We call it 'Atso Naro', which means a man-eating monster."
"This car spider is so powerful that even five or six good hunters are no match for it. When in danger, they will call out to the same kind. But in order to survive, people can always find ways. We discovered a medicinal herb called 'Mirisu'
'. Just let the spider eat a small one and it will sleep to death."
As she said that, she took out a medicinal herb. It was pleasantly green in color and looked familiar to Li Changan.
"But spiders are not rabbits, and they don't eat grass. Then we can only lay bait, let the bait eat the 'Mirisu', and then give the bait to the spider to eat." At this point, she paused.
"But I was so hungry that I took risks, and all the living things that could be eaten went into my stomach. What else can I use for bait?"
The expressions of all three people changed. What else could be used as bait? The answer is self-evident.
Everyone Xue lingered on a few people's faces for a while, then smiled and continued:
"Whether it is Lingnan or the Central Plains, the way this spider eats people is always the same. It first wraps it into a cocoon, then injects venom to activate the flesh and blood, and finally sucks it dry. The strange thing is that the 'Mirisu' is also in the venom.
It can be dissolved while still maintaining its effectiveness. As long as the spider takes a sip, it will fall asleep, and the spider hunters waiting next to it can swarm up and break out the belly to get the pearl."
"But it's funny."
She said it was funny, but the smile dropped unconsciously on her face.
"The spiders that have spent so much effort hunting may not necessarily have beads in their stomachs. So no matter what, we have to continue baiting. Use the old man first. When the old man runs out, he will use the children. When the children are used up, there will be only
He is young and strong. Now we have to make a careful calculation. If there are more men in the village, use the men first; if there are more women, use the women first. Until we find beads or there is enough food..."
The speaker downplays it, but the listener's hair stands on end. In this situation, it is even more sinister.
The scholar looked at Beauty Xue with a wry smile on his face.
"Master Xue, if you have a way, then you have a way. Why bother with these words..."
What's the matter with this? The scholar couldn't say it, so he didn't say anything.
"You scholar, it's too early to speak. I haven't finished speaking yet." Mr. Xue said with a smile.
"I can't help it."
"There's no way! How is it possible! Didn't you say there is Mijisu!"
The most excited person was Niu Xiucai. He grabbed the hose tightly and wanted to rush over and spray spit into everyone Xue's face. However, he was afraid of disturbing the spider demon. He gritted his teeth for a while and continued to do what he was doing.
He just stared at Mr. Xue with his eight eyes.
Everyone Xue paid no attention to this outstanding scholar and asked Li Changan instead.
"Do you know Yun Huansha?"
Li Changan nodded: "Of course I know."
"how."
Why are you asking this? Li Changan thought for a while, and his expression became solemn.
"The sword cannot hurt."
"That's right! It's hard to be hurt by swords." Everyone Xue sighed lazily, "This spider demon is like a pig. After eating, people will go back to their caves to sleep. When sleeping, they must wrap their whole bodies in spider silk."
"How thick?"
"Then you don't know?" Mr. Xue held on to Xiang's cheeks. "I only know that when spiders go out, the depths of the cave are filled with spider silk. I think it's no thinner than the Qixian city wall."
It’s so thick! Li Changan calculated that even if he used Demon Slayer, he wouldn’t be able to break it open!
"What about fire?"
Li Changan thought for a while and then said.
Scholar Fei Fei's eyes lit up, yes, isn't that spider silk afraid of fire? When entering the mountain, the bow of the boat specially took away several people's fire-making tools.
"Use fire..." Everyone Xue pondered for a while, but still shook his head.
"Mirisu can only make the spider demon sleep to death. Although it cannot sense the mist net in the mountains, when the fire is approaching, no matter how hard it sleeps, it will still be awakened!"
The forest fell into silence for a while, except for a few people who were lost in their dreams. Occasionally, they squeezed out a few silly laughs.
