The entrance to the cave was blocked by huge rocks, and the two could only get in through a small slit at the other end. Before entering the cave, Shen Qingqing discovered some kind of plant growing between the stone walls, with round leaves the size of copper coins, and winding branches and vines, lush and lush.
Climb all over the stone wall.
Shen Qingqing paused, picked off a leaf, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it, "This is an anthelmintic herb."
Meng Yuan turned around and met her eyes. Without saying a word, he consciously took out the dagger on his waist and started cutting the grass.
Shen Qingqing didn't say anything. He wielded the Soul-Suppressing Ruler and chopped off the vines with great force. The more than twenty Taoist priests were still trapped in the cave. If they didn't find a way to rescue them as soon as possible, they would become food for insects sooner or later.
She couldn't do anything to save him, and obviously, Meng Yuan couldn't do it either.
Seeing that they had stopped moving, the male ghost asked cautiously: "What are you doing? Aren't you going in?"
Shen Qingqing glanced at him sideways, "Pull the weeds, didn't you see? Stop standing there stupidly and come together."
The male ghost looked at his tender hands, then looked at her face that was obviously not easy to mess with, and he squatted down obediently to sort out the herbs they had chopped.
The female ghost didn't dare to sit idle, sticking her butt out and pulling up the herbs at her feet.
"Is it necessary for you? Once you enter this mist formation, if you don't have the ability to deal with it, you will be dead. Even if you get out of the insect formation by luck this time, you will not be able to escape the ghost formation next time you encounter the snake formation."
Si Yu stood aside with his arms crossed and his words were sarcastic.
Shen Qingqing raised her head and glanced at him. There was a majestic and calm look in her eyes that he couldn't understand. "I don't care whether they die in the snake formation or the ghost formation in the future, as long as they don't die in front of me."
She is not a saint and cannot sacrifice her life for others.
But he is not a cold-blooded person. Pulling out a few weeds can save a dozen or twenty lives, so why not do it?
Si Yu wanted to retort, but facing her eyes as clear as the autumn sky, nothing could be said.
The two ghosts moved very quickly, and within a short time they had pulled out three large bundles of herbs.
Meng Yuan held a bundle in one hand, and Shen Qingqing was about to bend down to pick up the remaining bundle, but was overtaken by Si Yu, who had been watching for a long time. "It's not a woman's turn to do this kind of rough work."
Shen Qingqing was so happy that she entered the cave with empty hands.
Her vision turned dark again, and she subconsciously touched the bag. Then she remembered that she had lost her flashlight when she entered the dreamland, so she quickly turned around and asked Meng Yuan, "Have you seen my flashlight?"
Meng Yuan replied: "In the hands of the Taoist priest with the bell, she went back to save people."
While they were talking, Si Yu impatiently squeezed in front of the two of them and took out a luminous pearl the size of an egg for lighting.
Shen Qingqing was dumbfounded. As expected, he was from the capital, and his actions were generous.
A few people walked hard on the narrow path, and soon they arrived at the place where they entered and exited the illusion. The pink light had disappeared, leaving only a light pink veil floating in the air.
Shen Qingqing stepped on the stone wall and jumped up, taking off the handkerchief easily. The handkerchief was made of silk, soft and thin, and had flowers embroidered on the lower right corner. One side was embroidered with a picture of a beautiful woman drinking wine under flowers, and the other side was embroidered with flowers.
This is a picture of a beautiful man bathing under the moon.
The beauties above are naturally the male and female ghosts who were just captured by Shen Qingqing.
With the magic weapon in hand, Shen Qingqing no longer delayed and strode towards the wormhole.
Not far away, you can hear the tinkling of bells and the painful screams of the Taoist priests.
The female Taoist in white originally wanted to use the insect-repelling spell to temporarily confuse the insects and let the Taoist priests rush out. However, she was not strong enough and could not control so many poisonous insects at the same time. In addition, the insects became more and more manic when they were hit and saw blood.
The effect lasts only a moment and then expires.
The insects that were spinning around like headless flies one moment suddenly came back to life the next moment and pounced on the Taoist priests who were trying to leave one after another.
Looking at the black poisonous insects above their heads and under their feet, the Taoist priests roared in despair, It's over, it's over!
The assessment has just begun and they have come to an end!
"I just accepted a disciple a few days ago. He is very smart and has a lot of wisdom. I promised him that I would go back and teach him his true skills when he is done. Now it seems that I am afraid that I will break my promise."
An old Taoist with white hair and beard covered his face and cried while killing poisonous insects.
"My mother has never supported me in learning Taoism. She said that only smart people can learn Taoism. I am too stupid to learn Taoism and become famous. But I don't believe in evil, and I want to prove to her that even a fool can learn Taoism well.
.”
A young man in a green robe dropped the broken knife with a curled blade, knelt down and cried bitterly, completely losing his mind to resist.
An older Taoist priest next to him helped him up, "Get up, how can you give up before the last moment? We Taoists must have the courage and perseverance to persevere until the end. Even if we die in the end, it is for the pursuit of Taoism.
And death is glorious!"
The young man picked up the broken knife again, but he was too tired. He only cut a few times and fell to his knees exhausted. Immediately, dozens of large black beetles flew towards him.
The dirty sweat on his forehead slipped into his eyes, and merged with the hot tears and flowed down. In the blur of tears, he seemed to have seen his fate - just like the long-faced Taoist priest, he turned into an ugly body full of blood holes.
Corpse.
The strong aroma of herbs suddenly hit the tip of his nose. He looked up blankly and saw a black ball with billowing smoke flying over.
As the thick smoke passed by, all the poisonous insects dispersed, and everything in front of him suddenly became clear.
The young man stared blankly at the black ball that fell to the ground, and a shocking and joyful thought flashed through his mind: Is he saved?
Shen Qingqing and Meng Yuan were still throwing roasted herb balls into the crowd, "This is an insect-repellent herb. They share one. Whoever got the medicine ball, hurry up. There is an exit here."
The crowd started to move again. Wherever the medicine ball landed, people picked up the medicine ball and rushed out of the circle of poisonous insects with their friends.
No one was fighting, no one was fighting, and those who had just come out of the line of life and death were exceptionally calm.
Soon, more than 20 people all escaped. Shen Qingqing kicked the unused herbs into the wormhole. The fire talisman fell and the herbs burned violently.
The poisonous insects, which had nowhere to hide due to the thick smoke, tried to crawl towards Shen Qingqing's location, but an invisible golden barrier blocked their route.
Poisonous insects that can kill people with one blow have become turtles in the jar.
The Taoist priests who regained their freedom imitated Shen Qingqing's actions, pulled herbs from outside the cave, rolled them into balls and threw them into the fire. The fire became more and more intense, and the smoke was so thick that people could hardly open their eyes.
The situation of the poisonous insects is even worse. The slow-moving ones have been burned to ashes. The ones that still have energy left are frantically rushing against the golden barrier. But how can a barrier that can trap even evil spirits be smashed by a group of tiny insects?
?
After a while, all the insects stopped moving, and even the densely packed insect eggs between the stone walls were burned into a handful of black soil by the fire.
The barrier disappeared, and a Taoist priest cast a spell to attract water from the stream and extinguish the remaining flames.
