Chapter 10: The Bat Cave
Ji Xiu touched the stone wall, as if she was looking for a secret entrance, and touched three walls to no avail, so Ji Xiu had to squat down and touch the ground.
"Ahhh Yes... Ahhh Ahhh......h
"Be quiet. Ji Xiu grabbed Igu's head at once, lifted it back, pressed Igu's heavenly spirit cover with his hand, and pressed its head to the ground, unable to move.
"Ahhh Ahh Ahhh Ahh......h
Ji Xiu ignored Igu's cry, threw the gem in his palm, and smashed it into the ground, the rock cracked, and Ji Xiu's hand sank into the ground several feet deep. Sure enough, there is a doorway, and the rocks here are very soft, not like natural stone walls, but more like they have been paved with earth and gravel.
Ji Xiu slapped again, and his whole arm sank into the ground, and there was a sound of stones falling to the ground below. Sure enough, it's hollow underneath, and the place I'm in should be a vertical downward cave, probably sealed by a snake demon.
"Ahhh Ahh Ahhh Ahh......h
"If you don't shut up, I'll put you in this hole. Ji Xiu was half-kneeling on the ground at the moment, pulling his hand out of the ground, and a hole slightly thicker than his arm appeared on the ground, and the light was not enough, so he couldn't see what was under the hole.
"Uh-huh......" Igu covered his mouth with his hand and nodded his head in understanding, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
Ji Xiu let go of the hand that was pressed on Igu's head, picked up the gem and threw it into the hole in the ground, squinting one eye and looking into the hole, feeling that there should be no danger below.
"Are you ready?" asked Ji Xiu.
"What?" Igu didn't understand, what was he preparing, why did he suddenly say preparing?
Ji Xiu put her palms together, and suddenly slapped her palms to the ground together, and with a loud "bang", the ground where Ji Xiu and Igu were located shattered into pieces and fell down.
"Ah————————h
A large hole with a diameter of three meters appeared in the ground, and Ji Xiu and Igu were originally here, but as Ji Xiu blasted open the ground, no one was visible now. Ji Xiu and Igu Qi fell down together, and only a scream still echoed in the cave, which sounded very shocking.
It was so dark that there was barely anything to be seen, except for a beam of light like a sharp sword, swinging left and right surrounded by darkness. Ji Xiu held the gem in his hand to open the way, and behind him was a glazed-eyed monkey spirit Igu, staggering like a walking corpse, obviously frightened.
There is a soft touch from the soles of Ji Xiu's feet, and after walking the hard mountain rock for so long, this soft touch is easy to care about. The beams of light from the gems were shot into the ground, and the ground was covered with black grains of rice, and the amount was very large, like sand on the beach.
Ji Xiu lifted the beam of light and shone into the distance, and the black rice laid on the ground stretched all the way down without seeing the end. There was a foul smell in the air, musty, bitter, and this bitter smell seemed to have a bit of almond flavor, which was very uncomfortable to smell.
"Luminous sand, bat, this is a bat nest, there is such a thick bat here, why don't there be a single bat. As soon as Ji Xiu finished speaking, he figured out that the snake demon was born in the bat nest, and all those bats became the tonic after the snake demon was born, and none of them went into the snake's belly.
Bat feces are non-venomous, but bats in the wilderness and mountains carry a large number of viruses, and the number of viruses carried by bats can be said to be among the highest among living organisms.
Ji Xiu once again pulled out two gems set on the scabbard of the sword behind his back, the size of candy, threw one of them into his mouth, and the other to Igu, and said, "If you don't want to get sick, take it in your mouth." Igu opened his mouth, grabbed the gem between his two long fingers, and threw it into his mouth.
"Wait, I'm talking about holding it in my mouth, holding it, don't swallow it for me. Ji Xiu said very seriously, and before Ji Xiu finished speaking, Igu threw the gem into his mouth and made a swallowing motion, rolling with the Adam's apple in his throat, as if swallowing what was in his mouth into his stomach.
Ji Xiu's eyebrows moved slightly, and she scolded: "Pig head, you are looking for death." ”
Seeing that Ji Xiu looked angry, Igu hurriedly stretched out his palm and spit out the gem in his mouth, indicating that he did not swallow it.
"Forget it, it's a waste of gas to talk to you. Ji Xiu ignored Igu and walked straight to the road paved with bat.
Igu threw the gem in his palm into his mouth again, bit it hard, made a movement to gnaw his teeth, stretched his neck, stared at his eyes, and followed Ji Xiu with trembling feet. Actually, Igu was scared, so he stared at the round eyeballs, because he felt that he could see more things this way, and he could increase the range of vision.
"It's disgusting. "This road paved by bat feces is more than 200 meters long, and it makes Ji Xiu a little psychologically resistant, but this is nothing, it may be that he hasn't been on the battlefield for too long, and Ji Xiu has walked the road paved with rotting corpses.
Igu followed very stubbornly, Ji Xiu glanced back at it, and said, "Why are you staring at me with such big eyes, I didn't mean that you are disgusting, I mean that the things under your feet are disgusting." Ji Xiu obviously misunderstood Igu's intention to stare wide-eyed.
Igu tilted his head to the side, not knowing if he didn't hear Ji Xiu's words clearly, or if he didn't understand what he meant.
There is the sound of water here, Ji Xiu took a photo with the gem in his hand, and found that there was a crack on the wall that was two palms wide, and the water flowed down from this crack. Shining a beam of light into the crack, you can see that it is not deep, and you can see that there is a large space inside, and the width of this crack is just enough to allow a person to pass sideways.
Ji Xiu didn't hesitate, holding the gem in his left hand to explore the way, and the whole person got into the crack, moving into it step by step. Igu clasped his hands in front of his chest, his legs slightly bent, and his head looked around, it seemed to be a little cold, hesitating whether to follow Ji Xiu into the crack in the stone wall. In the end, it still followed Ji Xiu's example, and moved sideways through the cracks.
Ji Xiu walked out of the crack and found that the air here was much better, it should be that there was a waterfall-like water curtain in the crack, forming a similar protective shield function, blocking the turbid air on the other side from entering the space inside. Of course, in order to get here, Ji Xiu was soaked all over, and so was Igu.
Obviously, this is not the destination, because you can see it at a glance, and there is no snake demon in such a big place that Ji Xiu is looking for. But it was not without gain, Ji Xiu illuminated a corpse with gemstones, and inferred from the degree of decay and tattered clothing that the corpse had been here for a long time.
"Looks like you're the main character here. Ji Xiu walked to the side of the corpse and carefully inspected the situation of the corpse, the owner of this corpse should have been a Taoist transporter before his death, and there was still a remnant of Dao Qi between the ribs, but the Dao Heart was gone. There is also a metal nameplate next to the corpse, pick it up and look at it, it is a soldier's exclusive identity plate, is this person in civilian clothing still a soldier?
"Fellow Daoist, I don't know if your spirit body is still there, if you can invite you out to meet, there is a snake that has obtained the Dao heart left behind after your death, has been cultivated, has been refined into a demon, and currently killed one person and kidnapped a boy, if you can help, I am really grateful. ”
"That evil beast even harmed people!" an ethereal voice came from the air.
As soon as Ji Xiu heard it, she knew that there was a play, and this voice was really clear, but there was no source of sound, and only an incorporeal spirit could do it if she could make this sound.
"Listen to the words of the Taoist friend, you know that you were a good person before your death, hope to help, due to some accidents, did not get the traces left by the snake demon to locate and track, now I don't know where the snake demon is hiding, just Daoyou pointed out a direction. Ji Xiu remembered that when he was in the village, the group of villagers stepped on the bloodstains left at the gate of the courtyard, if the bloodstains were still there, they could now directly find the hiding place of the snake demon, why bother to come here to ask for help. No, it's supposed to be a ghost.
"Are you a good person?" the ethereal voice sounded again, as the spirit discovered the existence of Igu's monkey spirit and suspected that Ji Xiu was not a good person.
Igu was a little frightened when he heard this voice, walked to Ji Xiu's side, hugged Ji Xiu's left thigh again, and hugged his hands tightly, not daring to let go.
Ji Xiu ignored Igu and let it hug her thigh. Ji Xiu groped around on herself, and found that the very useful document was gone, and thought to herself: Oops, my certificate was put in a robe, and now it is in the village, it is all to blame on this monkey spirit, I obviously covered it with a robe, and it didn't help me take it away after it woke up.
But fortunately, spirits are stupid and very easy to fool, because after a person dies, the physical body will retain a part of the memory, and after becoming a ghost, only a part of the memory can be retained, so after a person dies and becomes a ghost, the memory is missing, and at the same time, the character and personality will also be missing. In general, after a person dies as a ghost, his memory, personality, personality, and IQ will be missing.
"Fellow Daoist, I really don't look at each other, I'm actually a lieutenant general, and I'm here to carry out a secret mission this time, so I will bring this monkey spirit. After speaking, Ji Xiu's body exuded the momentum of a superior, and there was also a strong momentum that was exclusive to a century-old cultivator.
Suddenly, the wind whistled around and the air turned into white smoke, which seemed real and illusory, real and false, and then gathered on the top of the cavern, swirling like a tornado, forming a white vortex with the eye of the storm. In the eye of the wind, a silk thread like a willow branch slowly hangs down, like frost that is solidifying, and like a ribbon that is slowly drooping.
At this time, a person dressed very similarly to the corpse on the ground stood in front of Ji Xiu, he was like a living person, his face was ruddy and angry, his eyelashes could be seen in the blink of his eyes, and the green tendons on his arms could be seen beating regularly.
"Wow, you don't have to be so real. Ji Xiu exclaimed, as if it was the first time he had seen such a scene, and Igu shrank back.
