In terms of common sense, the thirteen key points of the whole body are closed, and two different unique techniques are used, which are absolutely impossible to unlock without the help of martial arts masters. Hua Bushi doesn't know martial arts, let alone a master, but he can unlock Sima Rulan's acupoint, and the method he uses is very simple, that is, needles.

No one knows the meridians in the human body better than Hua Bushi, and his method of acupuncture with silver acupuncture points has been passed on to the "medical saint" Meng Wuming, which is a unique ability in the world. The eldest young master's silver needle was thrown into the sea when Xiong Tiannan searched him when he passed the third moat, so he asked if Sima Rulan had embroidery needles on his body.

Fortunately, Sima Rulan really brought it.

As early as when Xiong Bailing came to the stone gate and revealed the hiding place of the two to negotiate the conditions, Hua Bushi had already used the technique of thorning to unlock Sima Rulan's acupoint, but he still kept a hand after all, and did not reveal this section when talking to Xiong Bailing. This also made Liang Wude, who overheard their words, convinced that Sima Rulan's acupuncture was still sealed and there was no threat at all, and when Sima Rulan jumped from the stone beam and fell with Hua Bushi, Liang Wude did not guard at all.

Xiong Bailing's knife wound was not light, but he did not rest for long. He took out the wound medicine he had brought and applied it to the wound to stop the bleeding, and then tore the strip of cloth from his shirt and tied it tightly, and then jumped up from the ground, as if the knife wound had been completely gone.

Now Xiong Tiannan is trapped in the snake cave under the altar, life and death are unknown, for this burly old man, rescuing his beloved son is the most important thing, and he can't delay for a moment.

He searched for Pan Long Jue from Liang Wude's corpse, and was about to open the mechanism on the stone statue, but Hua Bushi said: "Mr. Xiong, slow down! The giant snake in the crypt is extremely powerful, is there any way Mr. Xiong can deal with it?"

Xiong Bailing said: "Even if it is really a divine beast beetle snake, the old man will go down to fight it and rescue Nan'er!"

Hua Bushi said: "Mr. Xiong's move is too reckless, that giant snake is infinitely powerful, and it is definitely beyond human power to resist, you go down like this and send it to death, how can you rescue Ling Gongzi?"

Xiong Bailing was originally a scheming person, but because his beloved son was trapped, he was anxious, and he was anxious for a while, and he was in a hurry to rush down the cave to save people, and when he heard Hua Bushi's words, he couldn't help but move in his heart and asked, "Does Young Master Hua have a good idea?"

Hua Bushi said: "If it is really a divine beast beetle snake, it is not something that mortals like us can control." However, in my opinion, although the snake's size is very amazing, it has no wings and cannot fly, so it is not a real divine beast, but a large sea snake. Since it is a snake and not a ghost, we can deal with it in the same way that we can deal with ordinary snakes!"

Whether there is really a beetle snake in this world that can soar through the clouds, probably no one can be sure, but Hua Bushi believes that the origin of the giant snake in the cave must be related to the pirate king Tuoba Qingtian in the past.

As the king of the East China Sea, Tuoba Qingtian must convince all the pirates under his command, in addition to relying on his own martial arts skills, the more haode method is to use the power of ghosts and gods. Because even the outlaws among the pirates, when they have to face the ghosts and gods, they can only fear and dare not resist.

In fact, this method of exploiting people's superstition about ghosts and gods is also a method commonly used by emperors of various dynasties from ancient times to the present.

Tuoba Qingtian pretends to be the celestial snake, if he just talks about it, it may not be believed, so when he built the treasure cave on Whale Swallowing Island, he also built this altar to worship the snake god, and the big snake in the underground lake must be the giant beast he raised, used as a stand-in for the snake god.

How Tuoba Qingtian used sacrifices to worship the snake god was a hundred years ago, and of course there is no way to know now, and it is unknown whether the giant snake in the underground cave is the "snake god" raised by Tuoba Qingtian back then, and it is still alive after a hundred years, or if it is the offspring it produced.

Sima Rulan said: "Even if that giant snake is not an ancient beetle snake, it must be a different species in the sea snake, Lan'er has never seen such a terrible thing, what can Mr. Hua do to deal with it?"

Hua Bushi said: "Ordinary snakes are afraid of fire, as long as they see the fire approaching, they will retreat, we can use this point to deal with it." ”

Xiong Bailing shook his head and said, "Ordinary snakes may be afraid of fire, but the giant snake in the cave is probably not afraid. Before, when I waited to go down to the lake, I was holding a torch, but the giant snake swam straight from the lake, and the first to attack was Liang Wude, who was holding a torch, where did I look a little afraid?"

Hua Bushi said: "That cave is where the giant snake's lair is located, guarding its lair from foreign objects invades, it is the nature of all snakes, insects and beasts, as soon as it finds us, it will swim over to attack, which does not mean that it is not afraid of fire." The torch we held earlier was too small for this kind of giant snake to be feared, and if we could find a torch that was dozens or hundreds of times larger, Hua Bushi believed that it would definitely be able to deter that giant snake. ”

Sima Rulan said: "But where can we find such a big torch now?"

Hua Bushi smiled slightly, and said, "If we can't find it, we have to do it ourselves, but we still have to be generous to Miss Lan'er and be willing to give up the scriptures stored in the stone room." ”

The treasures in this secret cave had been removed by Sima Zhufeng for the construction of Okura Castle, and among the twenty-five stone chambers in the stone gate, there were many Buddhist scriptures and ledgers that recorded the cost of building the city. These things were made of silk paper, which could be used to start fires, and now they have become ready-made materials for making large torches.

Sima Zhufeng was born in the Shaolin Temple of Zenmen, and it is not surprising that he has many scriptures, but why he kept these scriptures here is somewhat incomprehensible. Perhaps he was commemorating the lady who died in this secret cave, or perhaps he sensed the eerie ferocity of this place and wanted to suppress it with these Buddhist scriptures.

Burning the scriptures is a great disrespect to the Buddha, but the Buddha proverb "saves a person's life, better than creating a seven-level luxury", and now burning these scriptures is just to save people, even if the Buddha knows, he will probably be happy.

Xiong Bailing split several wooden frames, took the longer woods, tied them together with ropes, and used them as wooden handles for the torches, while Sima Rulan and Hua Bushi brought a large pile of scriptures, and also tied them together with ropes and tied them to the wooden handles.

It didn't take long, after three people worked together, two large "torches" with a length of two feet had been made, the larger one weighed two or three hundred pounds, and the smaller one also weighed more than a hundred pounds.

In a stone room in Zuihou, several barrels of wine were also found, which were stored here by Sima Zhufeng, and it is believed that they had been stored for many years.

Xiong Bailing carried the homemade "torches" and several wine barrels to the altar, smashed two of the barrels, poured the wine on the "torches", and soaked the scriptures and pages bound on them.

These spirits are the ones that ignite the most, and after the drinks have been poured on, the two torches are complete.

Everything was ready to stop, Xiong Bailing took the jade ball in his hand and said: "Lan'er's niece and I went down with me to save Nan'er, Xiong Bailing is already grateful, Young Master Hua will stay on this stone platform, there is no need to go down!"

Sima Rulan also said: "Yes, Mr. Hua doesn't know martial arts, so it's safer to stay here." ”

Hua Bushi knew that what Sima Rulan said was true, he didn't know martial arts, and even if he went down, he wouldn't be able to help, but he would become a burden, so he said at the moment: "Okay, I'll stay here and answer for you." ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "But you still have to listen to me, that giant snake is huge, and it must have more than ten thousand catties of strength, you can only use flames to drive it away, and don't fight with it, otherwise there will be no chance of victory." ”

When Hua Bushi said this, his eyes were looking at Xiong Bailing, he knew that Xiong Bailing's beloved son was earnest, and he might make reckless moves in a hurry.

Xiong Bailing said: "This festival is self-saving. As long as we rescue Nan'er, we will come out immediately, and we will never fight that evil animal!"

Hua Bushi nodded, and said: "Snakes have extremely poor eyesight and hearing, most of them rely on tactile perception of the vibration of the ground to distinguish prey, and the perception of heat is extremely sensitive, that giant snake is also a snake, presumably the same." If you are in danger, throw away the torches at once, and leap away with a light skill, and the serpent will not be easy to pursue. ”

When this eldest young master traveled in various realms in the past, he had also caught snakes and insects in the barren mountains and Daze to refine medicine, and he was very familiar with the characteristics and habits of snakes.

Seeing that both of them nodded in understanding, Hua Bushi said again: "There is also the matter of zuihou, I have also said before, that is, if the eldest prince Xiong has unfortunately died, please ask Mr. Xiong to withdraw immediately, as the saying goes, people cannot be resurrected after death, and don't mistake your own life for the sake of the dead!"

Xiong Bailing said: "Thank you Young Master Hua for reminding me, Xiong knows!"

The jade ball was stuffed into the mouth of the stone snake statue, and the mechanism in the stone snake activated, and the blood-red eyes immediately opened. Xiong Bailing pressed the gem in the snake's eye, and the sound of "rolling" sounded, the stone slab slid open, and the hole in the crypt was revealed again.

The entrance to the cave was pitch black, and there was no movement, and no giant serpent jumped up from below, but the salty smell poured out again, filling the air all around, and the three people on the altar smelled it in their noses, and their hearts were all cold.

I had smelled this smell before, but I only thought it was the salty smell of seawater, so I didn't care, but at this time, I already knew that it was actually the snakey smell emitted from the giant snake, and it was inevitable that people would feel sick and nauseous when they smelled it again.
