Chapter Seventy-Four: Water Spiders
When a few of us fell into the cave, we found that there was a steep rock standing a few meters from the entrance of the cave, like a judge of the shadows, which was daunting. The black hole in front of the cave was bottomless, and from time to time a cool breeze blew and exuded a musty smell, which made my originally excited mood suddenly cool down.
All kinds of strange rocks in the cave are naturally piled up, twisting and turning, eerie and infiltrating, and the winding cave road seems to lead to the hell of Yama. Fortunately, there is a big white fish that shines to guide us forward, otherwise it is very easy to get lost in this cave where we can't see our fingers.
In this way, we walked cautiously, the hole was sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, the wide place could accommodate dozens of people, and the narrow place had to be bent over and crawl sideways if one person passed. After walking for a while, I looked at the wet and green moss on the cave walls around me, and from time to time water droplets fell, making a "tick-tock" sound of water droplets falling to the ground.
Bai Susu around me was a little weak, and he had to hold my arm and move forward. Her actions made me a little more panicked, these two cliffs are getting narrower and narrower, and they are black inside, and there is something mysterious and evil suddenly popping out of the embankment at the strange stone wall, I really hope to get to the destination quickly, and every time my hand touches the cave wall, it feels sticky and sticky, and there is a faint fishy smell.
At this time, the entrance of the cave became narrow, except for Bajie to squeeze sideways, everyone else could pass smoothly, I thought about saying something to relax my mood, and hurriedly asked Bai Susu, who was next to me: "Susu, if you are afraid, you can't say it, don't you say that foxes love to make holes?" You should be here as easy as coming home, you don't mean to make me scared, do you? ”
"Of course I'm not afraid of this cave anymore, I just feel a suffocating demonic aura under the deep cave, and I am instinctively a little afraid." The more Bai Susu walked deeper into the ground, the more trembling she became, you must know that her cultivation was not low.
"I said Yin people, what kind of demon is suppressed in this cave, why is the breath so weird, don't you take our brothers to the dark!" After practicing Bajie for a long time, he was a little physically exhausted, either because he had neglected to cultivate for thousands of years, or because he was hollowed out by the goblins in the nightclub.
"Remember the pig's head, my name is Yin Changsheng, since I promised Lu Laozu to take you down the cave, I will definitely ensure your safety, although this underground monster is strong, it also has its restraints, you still have to pay attention to your feet, we are almost to the bottom of the river." Yin Changsheng couldn't sit on the big white fish leisurely at this time, and the big white fish had transformed into a palm-sized small fish floating, but the light had not diminished in the slightest.
As soon as his words fell, Bajie's feet slipped and staggered to the ground, and he screamed: "Yin people, you must be deliberately yin me, as bad as that monkey." ”
Yin Changsheng stopped at the front and said, "This is a bit troublesome, there was not so much water ten years ago, but now it looks like a small lake." ”
I fixed my eyes to look at the cave, the hole in front of me suddenly opened, there really appeared a small lake, through the light of the white fish, the water surface is covered with dense spider webs, the water seems to be bubbling with blisters of different sizes, like boiling water, in this Yangtze River cave appeared at the bottom of the big peculiar, as if coming to another magical underground world.
Bajie was very curious, put his hand in the water and shook it a few times, and said strangely: "This water is not hot, why is it still bubbling, I still think it is Xianning Hot Spring." After a while, he suddenly retracted his hand again, and shouted: "The back of the hand is so itchy, damn it, it turns out that the little spider is crawling, could it be that we are back in the Pansi Cave again, spider spirits are everywhere!" ”
Bai Susu and I stepped forward to take a look, and there were indeed a few white transparent spiders the size of fingernails crawling on the back of his hands.
Yin Changsheng also took a look at it, and said calmly: "If there is a demon here, it is absolutely impossible for a goblin to survive here, this is just some ordinary water spiders." Seeing that we didn't believe us, he explained: "Water spiders are good at spinning silk and forming webs between aquatic plants, and like to store bubbles under the webs, which is also how water spiders build underwater dwellings. The water spider also spits silk like other species of spiders, but the tough silk it spits out is not used to build webs, but to build a single room under the water, a bell-shaped dwelling. This makes the webs bell-shaped, like a small caisson in which they set up camp and where the females lay their eggs and hatch. The bubble swarm of water spiders is not only an oxygen reservoir, but also an oxygen generator – constantly drawing oxygen from the surrounding water. This is what people call the "physical lungs" oxygen supply device. ”
"You know so much, like an encyclopedia." Bai Susu praised.
"I'm about the same age as you, but with a little more wisdom and a love of reading." Yin Changsheng said arrogantly.
Bajie slapped his big ears unconvinced, and said dissatisfiedly: "You said that we have been eating and drinking for thousands of years, and it is amazing to read!" ”
"How do you get over? The water is at least dozens of meters wide, and the hole is too low to use the leap method, if you swim in the water, you may be entangled in these underwater spider webs. "Yin Changsheng took care of himself and talked to himself, ignoring the existence of the Eight Precepts at all.
"Why don't we dig a tunnel through it..." Lao Sha didn't say anything all the way, but now he has a bad idea.
"I've always had a question that has plagued me for many years, how did these people get the "Three Tibetan Sutras" back then?" Yin Changsheng turned his head and asked me.
"I guess I read more books than them, so I have a little more wisdom." I laughed and said, to be honest, I don't remember the feat of the year, but the fairy I met seems to know Jin Chanzi and Tang Seng better than me, which is quite embarrassing. It's like the wife who has been in bed with you for more than ten years, you don't know her cups, and the men in the whole building are clear, and they have taken the initiative to tell you...
I looked around the cave wall, and suddenly found a few new footprints on the cave wall, and hurriedly pointed out: "That Wu Zixu should be passing through the cave wall at a fast speed, we might as well try it." ”
Yin Changsheng said leisurely: "The Taoist climbing technique is no worse than him, I can naturally do it, but you... He glanced at our small team of Journey to the West a few times mockingly.
Bai Susu should be able to work lightly, Bajie looked down and couldn't see the big belly on the surface of his feet and the rustle of limping when he walked, as well as my thousand-year-old oil bottle. I regret that I shouldn't have made this bad suggestion.
When a few of us hesitated, Bai Susu pulled out the purple and green twin swords and said, "Use my nirvana torch to burn the small lake dry and it will be white." ”
Yin Changsheng nodded and said: "The fire of Nirvana is the divine fire after the Taoist monk sits, naturally it is possible, but it needs to be sent and received freely, so as not to cause harm to the pond fish and set us on fire. ”
Bai Susu suddenly made a pretty face, and said embarrassedly: "Although I have been pregnant and cultivated this fire for thousands of years, my cultivation is not enough, and I am not good at fire control techniques, so I am really worried that I will not be able to control it." ”
I didn't think this road would work, so I had to say to Shasha: "Legend has it that you are a big demon of the quicksand river and are good at swallowing the water of the river, and you drink this small lake as soy milk." ”
Lao Sha said aggrievedly: "The shopkeeper, I swallowed too much chemically polluted water a few years ago, and now I have a bad stomach problem, and sometimes I spit out more water than I drink... ”
I hurriedly interrupted him to say no more, just smelling the damp smell was not disgusting enough, and said something nausealic.
I regretted slapping myself in the face, and I slapped it with a bang...
Yin Changsheng waited for a long time and saw that we still had no choice, so he had to stroke Dao Baiyu and said: "It seems that the only way to rely on Xiaobai is to let it swallow the three of you who don't know how to climb and float through this pond... ”
After listening to Yin Changsheng's words, the white fish that was floating shook the tail of the fish very cooperatively, opened its mouth round and mouthed, and I wanted to faint. . .
It's going to eat people!
