At this moment, the three of them had no other better choice. It was still uncertain whether reinforcements would come. Instead of waiting and wasting time, they might as well use this time to explore the mysteries of the Seven Evils Treasure Pavilion. He Wenyu thought with all his heart.
In order to find Wang Chongyang's posthumous manuscripts, Xu Sanxiao determined to move forward in order to win the beauty's smile.
Xu Sanxiao opened the door to the fourth floor. The stone door opened quietly. The three people watched with full vigilance. They stood at the door and listened cautiously to the sound. There was no sound in the dark corridor. Through the five-story stone wall,
In the residual light of the oil lamp, one could vaguely see the empty entrance to the corridor.
Liu Feng held up the gas stove lamp, looked inside, and said, "Stop looking, there's no movement at all." He started to walk inside.
Xu Sanxiao and He Wenyu said in unison: "Wait a minute!"
Both of them are spiritual practitioners, and their sharp eyes and ears are far beyond the comparison of Liu Feng. At this moment, they both vaguely heard the rustling coming from the fourth floor corridor. He Wenyu looked at Xu Sanxiao and said, "It seems like many small animals are moving."
." Then he looked frightened and said, "With such a big movement, could it be a rat?" [
The rustling sound was endless. If you listened carefully, it was also accompanied by tiny clicking sounds. Xu Sanxiao listened for a while, shook his head and said: "The movement is too slow, it must not be a mouse."
In just a moment, Liu Feng heard the noise, his expression changed, and he said, "It sounded like ants crawling."
Xu Sanxiao looked deep into the corridor and said, "There are really a lot of ants."
The flaming red ants, each one as big as a locust, covered the corridor in red. When they saw the gas stove lamp in Liu Feng's hand, they suddenly became commotion and crazy, and their speed suddenly accelerated and they rushed over. Xu San smiled.
Then he recognized that it was actually the extinct fire ant from the Western Regions mentioned in the Beast Taming Book!
The Book of Taming Animals says that these ants feed mainly on meat and like to form armies of more than one million and live a hunting life. In the deep deserts and old forest areas in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, they run rampant and are taboo wherever they go.
They destroy whoever they encounter, destroying all animals that can be caught by them or dare to go against them. The bodies of these ants can secrete a strong acidic yet, which tastes pungent. When they encounter an enemy, they will pour their bodies down.
Roll up and use your buttocks to launch this acid. As long as it is sprayed on the target, it will immediately cause local skin ulcers. Those who are hit will feel like their hearts are on fire and will be irritable. Those who are not strong-willed will immediately lose their resistance.
Fire ants from the Western Regions are the most important component of the Xumi Fire Purifying Formula. According to Zhou Zhirou, this kind of ant has been extinct for many years with the changes in the climate and environment in the Western Regions. Unexpectedly, I saw a living one here today. Xu Sanxiao's heart
I was surprised and happy, but quickly closed the stone door.
The door closed a little slowly, but there were still dozens of ants crawling into the fifth floor along the crack of the door that could not be closed in time. Each one stood upright and quickly crawled towards Liu Feng who was holding the gas stove lamp. Almost
They rolled up their bodies involuntarily and aimed their round belly at Liu Feng.
Phew, streams of yet exuding a strong spicy smell spurted out. Xu Sanxiao shouted: "Be careful!" With quick eyes and quick hands, he drove Liu Feng away.
He introduced: "This is the fire ant from the Western Region. Despite its small size, it is the most powerful animal. If a little bit of this venom is sprayed, it will immediately cause a large blister."
He Wenyu's movements were like lightning. He jumped over and crushed all the dozens of ants to death with a few clicks of his feet.
Xu Sanxiao walked over and collected the corpses of dozens of ants with great care, and said: "This is probably the last group of Western Fire Ants in the world. They must have been discovered by Guo Kan in the Western Regions and brought back during his Western expedition.
"
He asked Yu: "What do you collect this for?"
Xumi Pure Fire is the most powerful killing weapon of Xuanmen heretics. Zhou Zhirou only left one jar for Xu Sanxiao. After using it so many times, there was already a few left. Xu Sanxiao refused to use it easily in several previous adventures.
, because there is no place to replenish this thing, so it needs to be used less often.
Xu Sanxiao didn't want to reveal the secrets of his sect, nor did he want to deceive He Wenyu, so he hesitated. Just when he was about to tell the truth, He Wenyu expressed his understanding first, nodded and said: "No need to say it, I understand, I'm sure
It has something to do with those tricks played by you right-wingers. It’s a trick that doesn’t work if you put it bluntly. You’d better keep it to yourself.”
From the moment we entered the valley until we passively entered the Seven Evils Pavilion, there were unknown dangers in front of us. Behind us, there was Ma Erlong with the White Fierce Dao Body and two unknown little devils staring at him. The atmosphere had always been a bit depressing. Xu San
Xiao Youxin livened up the atmosphere, relaxed his mood, and deliberately showed off dozens of ants in his hands, saying: "Speaking of tricks, I can make one for you right now." Then he asked Liu Feng for a lighter and said: "
You take good care of it."
The flame of the lighter burned over the carcasses of Western Fire Ants, and dozens of fire ant carcasses burned at the same time. With a zigzag sound, the jumping blue flames flashed past, and in an instant, these dozens of Western Fire Ants turned into matches.
A ball of ashes the size of your head. Xu Sanxiao carefully collected the ashes.
Explained: "This thing contains a lot of flammable minerals. It will burn when exposed to fire. The temperature is extremely high, so it will turn into ashes instantly. Don't worry, the heat will go up. The fire will burn quickly, so it won't hurt your hands. What's left is
The ashes are called corpse powder, I keep them for great use."
He Wenyu said: "Don't be too busy pretending to be a ghost. The fire ants in the Western Regions are so powerful and there are so many of them. How can we get past them?"
Xu Sanxiao said confidently: "This thing emphasizes that unity is strength. It has basically no rivals in nature. Others would basically be helpless. But I, a direct disciple of the Left Dao, am the nemesis of the fire ants in the Western Regions. I have my own way to deal with them."
they."[
He Wenyu pursed his lips and smiled and said: "You think so, look, is there any way to deal with so many poisonous ants?"
"In this world, those who are busy are not busy, and those who are busy are not." Xu Sanxiao shook his head and said: "As long as you are familiar with his nature, even the most powerful guy will have weaknesses to find."
He Wenyu thought of the dozens of ants that had just been burned to ashes and asked, "Are you planning to attack with fire?"
Xu Sanxiao shook his head and said: "A little is fine, but a little more is definitely not good. It might even get you burned."
"All things in nature are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. Although the fire ants in the Western Regions are powerful, there is a kind of insect that specifically feeds on them. It is a parasitic wasp, also called a parasitic wasp. In ancient times, people thought that this kind of insect only has male ones and no female ones, so they had to
Bring the borer back to the nest and raise it. According to this allusion, the adopted son is called the adopted son of the borer. In fact, they store the borer as food. This parasite likes to lay its eggs into the ant nest. After the larvae hatch,
It will release a chemical pheromone that affects the ants' sense of smell, making it difficult for the ant colony to distinguish between friends and foes, leading to a war that often kills no one left."
Liu Feng echoed: "I seem to have seen this in the animal world. Ants use tentacles and smell to identify each other."
He asked Yu: "What? Do you have this kind of bug on your body?"
Xu Sanxiao shook his head and said: "There are no insects, but there is a pack of insect powder."
Liu Feng said: "Secretary Xu, I really like you. Why do you always bring a pack of medicine like this, ready to use it to control ants at any time?"
Xu Sanxiao laughed and said: "Of course not. This kind of bug has high medicinal value. It can reduce swelling and detoxify. It is the antidote for a thaumaturgy in leftist circles, so I usually carry a pack with me."
He Wenyu was anxious to obtain Wang Chongyang's manuscripts and urged: "If you have a way, use it as soon as possible."
When Xu Sanxiao thought that there might be a whole backpack of fire ant powder, enough to blend into Xumijing fire powder that could not be squandered for a hundred years, he was also looking forward to it. He said on his forehead: "The situation will be a bit tragic later.
You have to be mentally prepared." As he said that, he found a small paper bag from his backpack, poured a little powder into his hand, and when he was ready, he signaled Liu Feng to come over and trigger the mechanism to open the door.
The door opened, and before the stone door was completely open, Xu Sanxiao ducked to the crack of the door, raised his hand to his mouth, and blew the powder in his palm into the corridor.
The powder reflecting the light fell into the corridor. When the densely packed fire ants from the Western Regions saw a ray of light, they immediately rushed to gather at the crack of the door. The insect powder fell on the ant colony. After a while, it was like pouring into a pot of boiling water.
The ant colony began to commotion. It soon developed into attacking each other. The sound of slapping and snapping was heard constantly.
Liu Feng asked Xu Sanxiao: "Do I need to close the stone door again?"
Xu Sanxiao shook his head and said: "No need, they will not stop fighting. Just add a little bit of insect powder pheromone at the right time."
He Wenyu looked at the pile of ant corpses that soon appeared, frowned slightly, and said: "When I was a child, I heard my master tell me about her hometown of Jincheng. He said that there was a severe drought one year, and it didn't rain from spring to summer. It was hard to get there.
It rained heavily in September, and everyone was very happy, but tens of thousands of giant toads with long teeth suddenly appeared in the People's Square of Jincheng City. After chirping for a long time, they began to kill each other, biting each other's stumps.
All over the place, and finally died together there, a line of words appeared in the middle of the dead toad's blood, saying that a respected old Yuan Rong should not be imprisoned."
Xu Sanxiao looked at the pile of ant corpses and said: "There may not be divine will from God, but most of the time it is human beings who use God's will to do what they want."
"This incident caused great repercussions in the Northwest Bureau. My master saw it with his own eyes at the time. At first, he really thought it was God's will. Later, he found out that it was an old Yuanrong from the Northwest Bureau who colluded with the people of Yinshan Langcheng.
Damn it, the reason why the blood was written on the ground was actually because someone had written words on the ground with white wax. The blood of toads couldn't stop on the white wax, so the writing appeared. And to do this
That person is Hei Pao, one of the four great masters of Wolf City in Yinshan Mountain."
He Wenyu looked at Xu Sanxiao and said softly: "After that incident came out, the old Yuan Rong was not released. Not long after, the Office of Religious Affairs was established. My parents and my master were the first batch of
The recruited members, the first Jianghu organization dealt with by the Religious Affairs Office, have always been harmful to humanity."
Xu San smiled and said: "In fact, Western countries also have similar specialized departments. Human beings need faith, and practice can create illusions. There are people who like to pretend to be gods and ghosts everywhere. Your work can sometimes determine the fate of a country."
He Wenyu nodded and said: "As long as you understand me!" He suddenly said solemnly: "Brother, do you know? Originally we have strict rules. People like you should never be allowed to enter the official career.
Yes, because Taoism has reached your level, as long as you release your spiritual will during meetings, ordinary people cannot defy you head-on. No matter you are right or wrong, you can turn the official environment you are in into a hall of speech." [
Xu San smiled and said: "Sister, did you receive any orders? Don't be embarrassed, just tell me. As long as it is what you say, I will definitely cooperate!"
He Wenyu said: "You have passed the middle level. In principle, you must register with the religious office. If we survive this disaster, I will have to report your situation to the director and secretary when I go back. Because of Li Huqiu's relationship
, they probably won’t force you to leave officialdom, but they will definitely prohibit you from using deviant techniques. In principle, they will arrange for people to monitor you by your side, and you will not be allowed to use thaumaturgy to benefit your personal career. Once you are found to have violated the rules, religious affairs will be dealt with.
I will take action against you."
Xu Sanxiao was surprised. Many things that were unclear before were easily solved. No wonder He Wenyu had so many scruples when he was with her. No wonder the fairy sister always suppressed my moral behavior below the top level. On the surface, there was no expression at all.
He scratched his head and said with a smile: "So that's it. Then there's no need. I'd better send you to monitor me."
He Wenyu said calmly: "Do you think your ability and level are enough to be monitored by me?"
Xu San smiled and said: "I will strive to make progress and grow up quickly."
He Wenyu heard the implication of Xu Sanxiao's words and said: "Unless your Taoism can reach the level of Li Yan's father, even Guo Dao'an and his ilk will not dare to openly show up to oppose the religious authorities."
Xu San smiled and said, "Why do you have to be against me? Isn't it more beautiful to be a son-in-law?"
Liu Feng couldn't listen anymore, coughed and said: "Um, Secretary Xu, look at these ants and see if they are gone?"
At this moment, tens of thousands of ants have died, and the corpses are piled up like a hill. Xu Sanxiao took out the medicine bag, poured some more into the palm of his hand, and blew into the corridor in the same way. The commotion of the ant colony began again.
About three hours later, Xu Sanxiao blew the medicine back and forth into the cave several times, and the ant colony stopped moving. The corpses were piled up in the corridor, like a hill within a dozen meters.
Xu Sanxiao signaled He Wenyu and Liu Feng to stay away, took out a lighter, hid behind the stone door, lit it and threw it into the ant pile.
With a bang, the ant pile turned into a ball of blue flames, and the blue flames came out of the stone door. The astonishing heat wave made one's breath suffocate. Fortunately, the flames exploded quickly and extinguished faster, within a few breaths
It has become a mass of ashes.
Xu San smiled and said: "Don't worry, it will be serious if you inhale these ash into your stomach. Do not see open fire for three days, otherwise it will spontaneously ignite if exposed to fire."
Liu Feng asked: "What should we do?"
Xu Sanxiao said to He Wenyu: "Sister, hold your breath and clean up with me. Lao Liu will wait outside first."
The corpses of ants piled up like a mountain, but very little was left after burning. In the more than ten meters long corridor, the ashes were less than the height of the feet. It didn't take long for the two of them to pack up the ashes into a pile after entering the corridor. Why did they ask the fish?
Squeeze it into pieces with your hands and put them into Xu Sanxiao's backpack.
After getting this done, He Wenyu still had questions in his mind, "Where are the queens of these Western Region fire ants?"
Xu San smiled and said: "These fire ants from the Western Regions do not build nests. The queen ants follow the ant army. If she had not been bitten to death by now, she would have been burned to death."
He called Liu Feng and walked through the corridor to the fourth floor. He lit the oil lamp on the wall. He Wenyu looked around and found that there was no ant nest.
Xu Sanxiao went straight to the door leading to the third floor and said with a smile: "Be prepared, I am about to open the door. I may not know what kind of monsters will come out."
The stone door made a clicking sound, and soon it was completely opened. Xu Sanxiao stood at the door, and a moldy and rotten smell came from the corridor. He turned to He Wenyu and asked: "Sister, can you tell?
What’s coming?”
It was quiet in the corridor. Except for the foggy look, it didn't seem to be any different from the previous floors. He Wenyu took a few glances, shook his head and said: "It's nothing special, it just looks a bit short, and the humidity seems to be higher."
Bigger."
Xu Sanxiao looked at it for a long time, sighed softly, and said: "Mr. Guo Kan, who arranged the Qisha Pavilion back then, is really a master of learning about heaven and man." He pointed at the corridor and said: "You go in now,
You will soon understand the difference, the layout of the third floor is this corridor."
He Wenyu walked into the corridor and reached the end within a few steps. He followed the path of the corridor and turned a few corners before walking back again in a daze.
Xu Sanxiao's voice drifted in from the entrance of the cave: "This corridor was built according to the art of Qi Men Dun Jia. The three Qi Men, the Eight Gates, and the Yi Dun Jia are all cleverly designed in this corridor. If you don't know how to do it,
, let alone sister, you can’t get through, even if the old blind Zhou Zhirou comes back to life, it may not be possible for a while.”
He Wenyu said solemnly: "It is indeed very powerful. I can't tell the direction now. Can you see me?"
Liu Feng looked at He Wenyu's figure at the end of the corridor and was greatly surprised and said: "Miss He, aren't you right in front of us? How can you say we can't see you?"
He Wenyu said in a somewhat urgent tone: "I can only hear your voices, I can't see you at all."
Xu Sanxiao hurriedly comforted her: "Sister, don't worry, this is just the most superficial reflection of the Dou Shi technique. Although I haven't figured out a way to get through this corridor, it won't be a problem to get you out."
, motioning Liu Feng to stay at the entrance of the cave, and warned: "I'll go get her out, you stay here, and no matter what you see later, don't follow her. Believe me, it's all a mirror illusion."
Qimen Dunjia existed in China a long time ago. The so-called Qimen Dunjia means that the three oddities and six rituals mentioned in Wanfa Guizong are divided into nine palaces, and are unified by Jia. They are regarded as bringing good and bad luck, and are considered to be avoidable, so it is called
Dunjia. There are many formations derived from Qimen Dunjia. The most common method is the mirror formation. Through special methods, microclimate groups are created in a small environment, and mirages are produced using the method of light and shadow refraction to mislead vision.
Purpose.
Qi Men Dun Jia is the basic knowledge of all Taoist magic formations. Xu Sanxiao was forced by Zhou Zhirou to recite Yanbo Diaosou Song since he was a child. From the time he was sensible, he followed Zhou Zhirou to learn Qi Men Dun Jia and the application of magic principles. In this
On the other hand, Xu Sanxiao’s foundation is very solid.
After settling Liu Feng, Xu Sanxiao dodged and got into the corridor.
