Chapter 4: Escape

"Tick ...... Tick ......"

The viscous green liquid that flowed from the blade of the sword fell to the ground like a pearl with a broken thread, and the subtle sound was particularly loud in the underground grotto. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He Deming didn't dare to come out, and looked back at Lao Dao, only to see that he frowned and thoughtfully.

After a while, He Deming couldn't help it, such an atmosphere made him almost crazy, so he asked, "Master...... Just now...... What was that just now, hard ...... Could it be...... Ghost?! ”

"It's not." The old man replied categorically.

"What's the matter with the green blood on the sword, it's impossible for a person to shed something like this."

Lao Dao raised his feet and walked over slowly, He Deming didn't dare to stay where he was alone, so he followed him closely to the entrance.

Lao Dao held the hilt of the sword, pulled it hard, and with a "bang", the long sword was pulled out of the rock wall. Lao Dao first raised the sword body to the torch and looked at it carefully, then sniffed it with his nose and muttered to himself: "Impossible, how can this be?" ”

He closed his eyes slightly and carefully recalled the scene just now, shook his head and nodded again: "Its shape is like an ape, with a white head and bare feet, and its name is Zhu Yan......

He Deming said: "The body is covered with snow hair, crying like a baby, the blood is as blue as the river and the ocean, the taste is like Bodhi, and the birth will be a soldier." ”

The meaning of these two sentences is that there is a beast called Zhu Yan, which looks like an ape, with a white head and red feet, covered with snow-white hair, and its cry is like the cry of a baby, and its blood is green, and it smells like a bodhi fruit, and once it appears, there will be war in the world.

Lao Dao nodded approvingly, brought the long sword in front of him, and motioned for him to take a look.

He Deming leaned over and sniffed it, only to feel a light Bodhi incense into his nose, it smelled very good, and he said in surprise: "I have seen Zhu Yan in the Classic of Mountains and Seas before, and I thought that these were mythical beasts fabricated by the ancients out of thin air, but I didn't expect them to really exist in the world." ”

"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, it is said that Zhu Yan is not only fierce, but also very smart, and his speed is as fast as the wind, if it turns back and waits for the opportunity to retaliate, then we will be more than lucky!" Lao Dao said.

He Deming was a little scared when he heard this, looked around and said, "Then what should I do, there is only one entrance here, and there is no other way to go." ”

Lao Dao glanced at the cave, and suddenly squinted at the long wooden box in the corner and said, "Since this is the combat headquarters, maybe there are any weapons in there, I hope it doesn't have any gold, silver and jewelry." ”

So saying, he walked over to the wooden chest and slowly pried it open with his sword.

"Squeak" There was a sore tooth sound, and the items in the first wooden box were presented in front of the two of them, only to see that it was full of bulging sacks, He Deming squatted down and looked at it carefully, and immediately said with great joy: "It's all flour and corn kernels!" ”

Lao Dao didn't seem very pleased, and pried open the remaining large boxes one by one.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "There is no endless road, haha, now we are saved!" ”

A dozen muskets and muskets were neatly placed in a box, as well as gunpowder in bamboo barrels, and the most amazing thing was that there were a few black cannonballs in the shape of balls.

"This ......" He Deming wondered: "These things seem to be from the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Lao Dao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter which dynasty he belongs to, with muskets and bombs, it doesn't matter if he is a black blind man or Zhu Yan, come and kill one by one, haha." ”

After saying that, he inserted the long sword into the scabbard on his back, grabbed a few bullets and gunpowder in the box and put them in his clothes, then took two muskets in his hand and said, "Bring some rations, let's go!" ”

He Deming picked up a sack of flour, his thin system was almost unbearable, and he shook it in place a few times, and finally gained a firm foothold.

"You don't have to bring so much, we'll come back and get it after eating." Lao Dao glanced at him and said.

He Deming gritted his teeth and said, "Okay." So he put down the sack in his hand and picked a small bag and carried it on his shoulder, which was really a lot easier.

Lao Dao walked ahead with a torch in one hand and a musket in the other, and with thermal weapons and lighting tools, he was no longer as abrasive as when he first entered, and he was moving much faster.

When the two of them reached the fork in the road, Lao Dao stopped a little and took a closer look at the entrance that he had never entered.

I saw that the entrance was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and the stone wall was a little uneven, which did not look like it was excavated artificially, but more like it was formed naturally. Lao Dao thought to himself, that Zhu Yan must have come out of here, could this be Zhu Yan's lair?

Thinking of this, he shook his head and moved sideways towards the exit passage, now they are in a hurry to get food back to save their lives, how can they have time to care about other things, if it is changed to usual, according to the old way, they will definitely go in to find out.

The two of them moved forward slowly, this narrow passage is really a bit troublesome, I really don't know how hard it took those boxes to move in, this combat headquarters is really secret, no one would think that there is something else in it, I have to say, the leader at that time was indeed a smart person.

Suddenly, a sound of "Xi Xi Suo" came from the front, and Lao Dao immediately stopped and pointed the muzzle of the gun forward, but because he could only turn sideways, it was really inconvenient to change his posture.

He Deming said, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

"Shh Lao Dao motioned for him to be silent and carefully observed the front.

In the slender passageway, the torches have limited illumination, and when they reach three meters away, they dim and it is impossible to see what is ahead.

Suddenly, a cyan black shadow struck Lao Dao's chest, Rao was as calm as him, and he was inevitably shocked when he was caught off guard, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang!" A flash of fire and smoke erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and the huge eruption force knocked the black shadow upside down and fell not far away.

Lao Dao coughed a few times in the smoke, and took a closer look, hey, it was actually a snake with the thickness of a small arm, no, it should be called a python.

The python writhed irregularly on the ground, its head had been blasted into a mess of rotten flesh, and it was long dead.

He Deming shook his head, which was shocked to some tinnitus, and saw that Lao Dao hooked the python with his foot, and then put it on his shoulder, and the remaining body of more than one meter long dragged to the ground, and he couldn't help but have some heart palpitations.

Lao Dao knew that he was timid, and comforted: "Don't worry, it's dead, its meat is a good thing, and I'll make up for it when I go back and stew it for you." ”

encountered such an incident, Lao Dao's open-minded heart was a little unbearable, and said with a smile: "The python in winter has no attack power, I didn't expect this one to be quite fierce, but it's just a little stupid, and it went straight to my muzzle, it's so interesting." ”

He Deming asked, "Master, can Taoist priests also drink wine and eat meat?" ”

"It depends on what kind of Taoist priest it is." Lao Dao said with a smile: "Like the Quanzhen Taoist sect, you can't eat meat and drink wine to get married, the Zhengyi sect is somewhat similar to our Maoshan Taoist sect, and you don't pay attention to these, otherwise you think you can marry my precious apprentice?" Hey. ”

He Deming then remembered the little black bear he met at the beginning, and the first thing he thought of when he first saw it was to slaughter it for his wife to make up for his body, forgetting that his wife was a Taoist priest, and the master did not stop killing and eating meat at that time, but he just saw that it was a mad bear, and he was worried that he would be hurt before he spoke out to stop it, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his stupidity.

The two of them had weapons and food, the two life-threatening things were solved, and they accidentally caught a python, and there was a lot of food in the cave, and it didn't seem difficult for the three of them to survive the whole winter, so the mood of the two seemed to be much better, especially the old way, who actually hummed an unknown opera.

The light at the entrance of the cave became brighter and brighter, and Lao Dao squinted his eyes slightly, extinguished the torch, and carefully set it aside for the next time he entered the cave.

"Hey, two crazy beasts, this way is here, why don't you come to die?!" Lao Dao gathered the python on his shoulder, held the gunpowder in his hand, and shouted loudly outside the cave.

"He's trying to lure two bears to the cave and kill them." He Deming couldn't help but secretly admire the wisdom of Lao Dao, this cave entrance is narrow, and the fat bodies of the two bears can't get in at all, as long as they get to the entrance of the cave, they won't let Lao Dao slaughter them at will?

Lao Dao shouted several times in a row, but he didn't hear any movement, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, turned his head to He Deming and said, "Monkey, you wait for a while, and go to see the situation for the teacher." ”

Without Lao Dao beside him, He Deming had no bottom in his heart, so he said: "In case that Zhu Yan ...... from behind"

Lao Dao waved his hand and smiled: "Zhu is disgusted with yin, rarely go to a place with light, it is so bright here, it will not come, you, you are a little bold, I really don't know how my precious apprentice fell in love with you such a timid and thin monkey." Anyway, regardless of He Deming's willingness or not, he slowly moved towards the entrance of the cave alone.

At the bottom of the cliff, a head with white hair slowly poked out, if it weren't for the sneaky style that was really a little eye-catching, it really had the charm of a fairy wind and bones with that appearance.

The head turned left and right, and suddenly froze to the side, only to see two feet to the right of the cave entrance, a large and a small two black bears fell on the snow, the blood dyed the ground around all into a piece of blood red, the little bear's body was full of shocking wounds, especially half of the fur on its face was gone, revealing the white bones of the forest, particularly shocking, looking at this, I am afraid that the one who has already died can no longer die.

And the big female bear next to it is still moving slightly, but it is not much better, one eye is hanging outside the eye socket, only a thin layer of flesh and blood is connected, and the original scar on the chest is directly torn under the stomach, a large intestine with entanglements exposed and falls to the ground, the scene is quite bloody, obviously it can't survive.

"Cannibalism? Ha ha. Lao Dao came out of the grotto and shouted into the cave: "Monkey, come out." ”

"Monkeys?"

Lao Dao called twice, but did not hear any movement, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly took the gun and went into the grotto again.

He Deming, who was originally about three meters from the entrance, was nowhere to be found, and the bulging sack fell to the ground, opening a small opening, and some of the damp gray surfaces were sprinkled with drops of blood.
