Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Miasma Beast's Cave
The face that gradually became clearer, it was a Taoist priest. I was a little dazed, but the strange feeling just now made me know that something must have happened.
Before he could ask the Taoist priest what had happened, this guy had already shouted: "Alas, your grandmother is a Tianzun, fortunately I caught up, are you okay?" As soon as the words fell, I saw Sister Bailing also rushing up, looking at me anxiously.
I was just about to speak, when I suddenly felt that my right arm, which had just been silent, began to move again, and the reaction was very strong, there was a sharp feeling of swelling pain, and those black lines seemed to be about to break through the skin and drill out.
As soon as I regained consciousness, I was in a cold sweat, and my left hand grabbed my swollen right arm, and I wanted to ask the Taoist priest's words in my throat.
They noticed my abnormality, the Taoist priest hurriedly grabbed my hand, looked closely, his face suddenly changed, and asked me what was going on? I don't know what's going on, so what to say, and I'm almost suffocating from the pain, how can I have the energy to answer him, just gritted my teeth and didn't speak.
At this time, Sister Bailing also squatted in front of me, checked my hand with a solemn face, and sighed: "We are still a step late, and the curse has been completely awakened." ”
"Ahh So what should I do, the people have been rescued, and the body hasn't entered the forest yet, there should be a way......"
"Damn, don't be stunned, hurry up and find a way, if you delay for a moment, the reporter's hand will explode."
The anxious urging voice of the Taoist priest came into my ears, and at this time, I was already in so much pain that it was a little difficult to see, and I could only feel a numbness from my arm. But from the urging voice of the Taoist priest, I knew that my right arm was probably about to explode.
"I know, can you be quiet for a while?" The Taoist priest urged for a while, and Sister Bailing finally couldn't help but scold.
After a while, I vaguely felt something grab my right arm, and then there was a pinprick sensation that spread from my wrist to my elbow.
With the tingling, the swelling pain lessened a little, and then I heard the exclamation of the Taoist priest: "I said, if you release all his blood, he will lose blood and die." ”
"Don't talk, I'm measured!" Sister Bailing scolded him, and then there was no movement.
As the blood was released, the suffocating pain lessened a lot, and gradually I was able to open my eyes, and I saw that my right arm was almost swollen like a calf, as if it was congested, and it was a terrible blood red. Countless snake-like black lines twisted and coiled, magnified countless times, and I could almost see the majestic black gas surging in the black lines, and the reason why my arms were so big was probably because of these black gases.
Sister Bai Ling pierced a dozen tiny silver needles on my bulging arm, and each silver needle happened to be pierced on the main stem of the black thread. The silver needle was hollow, and the other end was bubbling black and dripping with blood.
"How do you feel, can you still stand it?" When the Taoist priest saw me open my eyes, his spirits lifted and he asked me with concern.
I shook my head and said it didn't matter. In fact, there is not much blood really released by the silver needle, and more black gas is discharged from the arm, but I can't understand how these endless black gases come from, how can I hold so much black gas in my body?
"If you can't stand it, you say, too much blood loss is not a joke." The Taoist priest reminded me again, I nodded, and then I felt better, so I asked, "What the hell is going on, where have you been?" ”
Sister Bailing was paying close attention to the state of each silver needle, and she couldn't spare the energy to answer me, so I looked at the Taoist priest and asked him to say.
The Taoist priest sighed, with a depressed face: "Alas, don't mention it, let's let people play it!" ”
"Tricked on? What does that mean, you make it clear! "It was only then that I found out that the Taoist priest was disgraced, and the clothes he had just changed this morning were already tattered again, and he was obviously too energetic to do something.
The Taoist priest just wanted to continue, but his face changed suddenly, and he stared in a direction suddenly, and his hand subconsciously touched into his arms and grabbed a handful of yellow talismans. Sister Bailing reacted the same as him, and also looked in that direction in an instant, looking like she was facing a great enemy.
I thought something was wrong, and I tried to turn my head to see that it was Lan, and I couldn't help but feel relieved: "Don't worry, she is a good ghost and will not be bad for us." ”
The Taoist priest looked at Lan and then at me, looking disbelieving, I briefly told me about my experience of meeting Lan and Lan's life experience, of course, I didn't say anything about her kissing me naked.
Sister Bailing was very surprised, because she had just told us about the legendary deeds of my grandfather and grandmother when she first arrived in her hometown, and I immediately encountered the ghosts of the victims of the tragedy, which was too coincidental.
Lan was very afraid of life, and stood timidly in the distance and didn't dare to approach, I beckoned to her with difficulty, saying it doesn't matter, they are all good people, and they won't hurt you, so she slowly approached.
When they got closer, the Taoist priest and Sister Bailing saw Lan's true face clearly, and their eyes lit up. The Taoist priest looked at it for a while, and suddenly hummed, showing a surprised expression: "Huh? How can this be, wonderful, wonderful. ”
"There is no evil spirit, not a demon in the day!" Sister Bailing stared at Lan for a long time, the vigilance on her face dissipated, and said to the Taoist priest.
I couldn't understand what they meant, especially Sister Bailing's words, so I asked, "Evil ghosts?" Have you met other evil spirits? ”
As soon as the words came out, the Taoist priest immediately nodded and said: "Didn't the Taoist tell you just now, let's let people play tricks, the baby you see is not a baby at all, not even a person, he is a kind of mountain spirit who is good at transfiguration, and he can't be noticed at all after turning into a human form, this is how the Taoist got into the Tao." ”
Although I have long suspected that the baby I saw during the day is not the real baby, I am still surprised to be confirmed by the Taoist priest at this moment, which is also too realistic. To say that I am unrecognizable to the naked eye, but the Taoist priest and Sister Bailing are both capable people, one is a descendant of Taoism in the Central Plains, and the other is a descendant of Miao Jiang Wuhou, what kind of mountain spirit can deceive the two masters of witchcraft?
The Taoist priest did not elaborate on what kind of mountain spirit it was, only that they were lured by the thing all the way to a dark mountain cave hidden by vines.
If I had been here at the time, with my cautious or timid character, I would definitely not have let the Taoist priest chase after me, but the Taoist priest is completely different from me, this guy is not taboo at all, or he doesn't know what fear is at all.
But no matter how high the ability is, after all, it is not in his professional field, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, let alone in this 100,000 mountains with a complex environment. The Taoist priest followed directly without thinking about it, and as soon as he entered, he was immediately hit.
The cave is very large, there is a zhang high at the entrance alone, and the front of the cave is covered tightly by many green vines that hang down, and the surrounding stone mountain wall is integrated.
When he got in, his eyes suddenly went dark, and then a choking smell came over the surface, and in his words, the smell was like the feeling of a person with severe athlete's foot who had worn socks for a month and had saved up a hundred pairs and then stuffed them all in.
The Taoist priest was not prepared at all, and was immediately choked and coughed, and this cough made the situation even worse. The more he coughed, the more pungent the smell he inhaled, and the Taoist priest's head immediately became dizzy and unsteady on his feet.
Since ancient times, the land of the Southern Barbarians has been a place where poisonous miasma gathers, especially in the 100,000 mountains, thousands of years of rotten leaves gather, feng shui is impassable, and the miasma gathered is extremely poisonous. The cave in front of you is completely blocked by trees and vines, and if there are a lot of animal carcasses or decaying things in it, it is likely to be highly poisonous if the air flow is blocked!
It was too late for the Taoist priest to figure this out, if he hadn't been choked on those few bites, he could still hold on to the Taoist turtle breath method he had learned since he was a child, and buy him time to quit, but now, his consciousness has begun to blur, and his body has no strength.
The bad situation did not stop there, the Taoist priest held his breath and struggled to crawl towards the entrance of the cave, but at this moment, a low roar came from the depths of the dark cavern, like the sound of a beast.
The Taoist priest's heart was cold, and his heart said Could it be that this is still a beast's den? As soon as the thought came to him, the roar came from far and near, and through the light that came through the cave, a dark figure came out of the depths of the cave.
The Taoist priest has followed the master since he was a child, and his footprints have spread all over most of China, and he has a wide range of knowledge, and the thing that came to him at this time, his eyes flashed with the same green light as a cat's eye, and he was one and a half meters high, and his limbs were strong, his body was light, and his body was densely covered with countless markings, which was clearly an adult leopard!
As soon as he saw the true face of the black shadow, the Taoist priest was already so frightened that his face was bloodless. The leopard is known for its agility and ferocity, almost always killing with one hit, never entangled with the enemy, even if it is usually facing each other, he can only run away without weapons, not to mention that he is now hit by miasma.
At the same time as the Taoist priest's thoughts rose, the leopard had already pounced, and the huge mouth was biting the Taoist priest's neck. The Taoist priest is not a vegetarian, although he was poisoned, but he forcibly used the forbidden method, that is, the trick he used when he encountered a life and death crisis in Aji Village and Fengyang Town, which can become like a god possessed in an instant, but the load on the body is extremely great, and it will consume essence and blood, and it will cost a great deal to make it back.
But now that even his life is about to be lost, the Taoist priest will no longer worry about this. After forcibly transporting the forbidden method, the impact of the miasma was slightly reduced, and he used the method of turtle breath to temporarily seal his breathing, and his arms were like a thousand catties of strength, and his two hands directly broke the bloody mouth of the leopard's bite to his neck, and he was stalemate for a while.
The leopard was fierce and abnormal, and the bloody mouth was restrained, and suddenly there was an angry roar, and saliva sprayed the Taoist priest's face, and then a pair of front paws scratched towards the Taoist priest's chest.
After the forbidden law, the Taoist priest not only gained divine power, but even the strength of his body was terrifyingly strengthened, the leopard's claws were extremely sharp, but a few scratches only scratched his clothes, and there were a few more blood marks on his skin, which was not a major injury.
But the Taoist priest was poisoned, and he hung with one breath, and his body was pressed by the leopard, and it was impossible to leave. Soon, that breath was about to be exhausted, the Taoist priest shouted angrily, and tried his best to throw the leopard out, and at the same time, the valve was loosened, and suddenly a few mouthfuls of miasma were inhaled into the lungs, and he was already at the end of the crossbow.
Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a face appeared in front of him, a face with evil and temptation, and a woman with white flowers and a naked body. The woman smiled evilly at the Taoist priest, and then posted it, and the Taoist priest knew that it was not a person, but his consciousness could no longer withstand the erosion of the poisonous gas, and he fainted.
When he woke up, he found himself outside the cave, and there was nothing unusual except for some pain in his lungs.
Not dead? How could he not be dead?
This was the first thought of the Taoist priest after waking up, but he immediately found Sister Bailing who was pounding herbs on the side, and immediately understood that he was saved by Sister Bailing, but in addition to Sister Bailing, he also saw another person - my third uncle.
It turned out that Sister Bailing had been following behind the Taoist priest, and when she saw the Taoist priest getting into the cave, she wanted to follow up, but Sister Bailing also grew up in this mountain since she was a child, and knew the danger in the mountains.
The smell of miasma is filtered through layers of green vines, and it is already faint when it is dispersed outside, but Sister Bailing is proficient in witch doctors, and she grew up here, and she is extremely sensitive to the miasma in the mountains, and she immediately knows that there is a highly poisonous miasma in this cave.
After taking a deep breath, she held her breath and went inside, just to find a naked female ghost taking off the clothes of the Taoist priest, and she was already halfway off. Hearing this, I immediately knew that this female ghost must be the miserable Qiao'er that Lan told me, and that the cave should be the place where her body was buried.
Seeing this scene, this is okay, Sister Bailing immediately recited witchcraft spells and bound the ghost seal. This is the first time I have heard that Sister Bailing also has the ability to exorcise ghosts, but this is the Taoist priest relaying Sister Bailing's words at that time, and the specific situation is unknown, so I can only roughly know the situation at that time.
Under the intimidation of the ghost seal, Qiao'er's ghost was scattered, but it did not die, and she retreated into the body deep in the cave. When Sister Bailing was about to rescue the Taoist priest, the leopard that was beaten by the Taoist priest but did not die attacked Sister Bailing angrily.
Although Sister Bailing knows witchcraft, is proficient in witch doctors, and has also learned some kung fu from her grandmother, she is very good, but after all, she is just a girl, unlike Taoist priests who have forbidden arts to enhance their physical strength.
How can a weak woman be the opponent of an agile and fierce leopard, Sister Bailing struggled with it by relying on the advantage of physical flexibility, but she was helpless to take this beast.
Seeing that the Taoist priest was about to be poisoned and burped, at this time, the entrance of the cave suddenly lit up, and the green vines covering the entrance of the cave were cut off, and an incredible person appeared.
