Chapter Ninety-Four: The Evil Pool of Black Water
Master walked to the door, glanced around, and said, "Let's go." ”
After a simple four-word exit, the master didn't even enter the courtyard, so he turned around and walked away. I hurriedly said hello to Shi Laosan and carried a small cloth bag with a dwarf mule to catch up with the master's footsteps, the night of Miao Jiang came quickly, seeing that it was about to reach the end of the month, the moon in the sky was getting thinner and thinner, and it became the willow eyebrows of the beauty, but under the moonlight, we could still vaguely see the path. At this time, I noticed that Master had been holding a cane in his hand, and I couldn't help but look at it curiously.
This cane is made of a piece of bamboo, but the strange thing is not the shape of the bamboo, the shape is similar to ordinary bamboo, but the color of this bamboo is black.
And the master was holding this bamboo cane, and every time I landed, I could hear the crisp sound of colliding with the hard rock, like the sound of gold and stone colliding, I was stunned, and I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, what kind of bamboo are you holding in your hand?" How is it like an iron rod, it seems to be very strong! ”
The master glanced down and said casually: "This is a black thunder bamboo that took a whole day for the master to find in the ghost forest, this kind of bamboo is also called pure yang thunder bamboo, it has the purpose of warding off evil spirits, and can avoid the five poisonous obstacles, all evil things can not get close to this black thunder bamboo, the black thunder bamboo grows slowly, the older it is, the stronger the ability to ward off evil spirits, this black thunder bamboo found for the teacher should be about two hundred years old, bring it, we can safely rush to Jiwei Mountain, otherwise we will be bare-handed, I'm afraid that before I arrived at Jiwei Mountain, I was already dazed by the five poisonous obstacles that permeated the surroundings of Jiwei Mountain! ”
I widened my eyes slightly and asked incredulously, "Master, how do you know that Jiwei Mountain is surrounded by the Five Poisons Barrier?" ”
The master glanced at me angrily and said, "You can use your brain to think about it, Gu Master Gu refining is led by five poisons, Gu poison can not only harm people, but also attract poisonous insects from all directions to gather in one place, and that Long Po is profound, I don't know how many years I have been cultivating in Jiwei Mountain, I'm afraid it's not surprising that the entire Jiwei Mountain is crawling with poisonous insects!" Besides, our master and apprentice are going to fight with others tonight, not only the danger outside, but also the Gu technique of the Long Po, just this black thunder bamboo can only barely let us cover the five poisonous obstacles, and the real danger still has to be solved by ourselves! ”
I nodded, too, if Long Po knew that Master and I went to her to unilaterally ask for the antidote to the Gu medicine, wouldn't she turn the sky upside down? Even if there is a dwarf mule as bait, but it is always difficult to escape a fight, Gu poison is something that cannot be prevented, the danger of this time can be imagined, just take the master's painstaking preparations, this trip, it is not easy!
"Master, according to what Uncle Shi said, I already have a general understanding of the landform near Jiwei Mountain." I thought about it, and then said: "There is a cliff behind Jiwei Mountain, and the only thing that can go up the mountain is the mountain road in front, but in front of the mountain road, it is said that a lot of herbs are planted, and few people dare to approach those herbs, because whenever someone approaches those herbs and accidentally smells the strange medicinal fragrance, most of them will cause hallucinations, and the heavier skin will itch and fester, if you don't get the help of Long Po, it will be difficult to live." Not only that, but a little farther away, if you want to go to the medicine garden, there is also a black water pool, which is perennially surrounded by a black gas, and the stench is unpleasant. Moreover, the area around the Black Water Evil Pool is also full of poisonous species such as poisonous lizards and poisonous snakes, and it is not a simple matter to pass through the Black Water Evil Pool. ”
After saying this, I found that Master's face was unshocked, and it seemed that there was no such bad factor, which was a strange thing.
I then said: "In the past, when people from the mountains went to Jiwei Mountain to visit Na Long Po, they all went outside three days in advance to send a message in, and only after three days did they dare to go in. ”
The master said angrily, "Then you can stay outside to spread the message later, and go in for the teacher." ”
"Uh......" I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "How can it be done, I don't know how to send the message, and besides, leave me alone, in case I encounter something terrible, I can't deal with it...... Master, I'd better follow you safely. ”
Master glared at me, "Then don't talk so much nonsense!" In fact, these teachers can already guess, but just knowing these is useless, when you really get to the place, all variables can happen, from now on, you have to listen more and talk less, especially in the five poison obstacles, remember? ”
My heart tightened, and I quickly nodded in response, the master's expression was so serious, it can be seen that he himself doesn't seem to be too sure to break into the Jiwei Mountain, but in order to save the stone mountain, he can only let go.
Master and I stopped talking, and in the night, the mountain road seemed to be completely quiet. It seems that the insects hidden in the grass around them no longer chirp, and this night is a little scary. I shook my body, tightened my grip on the sack, and followed closely behind Master.
About two hours later, after midnight, Master and I gradually saw the outline of Jiwei Mountain in the distance, and on the other side of Jiwei Mountain, there was the appearance of a village. Presumably that village is the Longjiazhai that Shi Laosan said, between Longjiazhai and Jiwei Mountain, about three miles apart, there is a huge mountain col in the middle to block, as if the two have nothing to do with each other, or maybe the people of Longjiazhai deliberately alienated the Longpo on the Jiwei Mountain.
For Gu masters, the world is both respectful and afraid, in my opinion, like those people, I don't want to have anything to do with that dragon woman anymore, for fear that this dragon woman will not pay attention to the Gu, and there will be no place to cry if I regret it.
Gradually approaching Jiwei Mountain, not far away, you can already see a pale white mist swirling over the hillside, and under the pale white mist, there is a thick gray miasma. The so-called miasma originally refers to a layer of toxic gas rising from the rotten swamp that has been exposed to the sun for a day and encounters cool air at night, but here, there may not be any need for any rotten marsh, because this whole Jiwei Mountain is like a mountain deeply infected with mad poison, and everything around it is so gloomy and terrifying!
As he approached this miasma-filled place, the Master cautiously admonished, "Ergou, follow closely behind the Master, don't run around!" ”
I nodded heavily, and then, the master leaned the bamboo cane, and every time the black thunder bamboo hit the ground crisply, it suddenly made the miasma blocking in front of us slowly dilute and disperse, and naturally made a passage for us, to say that this black thunder bamboo is really a good thing. If I go back this time, I'll definitely go to the ghost grove to find one to play with.
The grass under my feet was damp, the moisture was unusually heavy, and those blades of grass were hard and thick, especially the tips of the grass, as if they were sharp blades cutting human flesh and skin. Shi Laosan said that there are many poisonous insects in this vicinity, and if they are bitten, they are likely to die on the spot.
However, the black thunder bamboo in Master's hand was opening the way, and everything seemed much simpler.
I just walked for a short while, I felt that my trouser legs and shoes were already soaked, I frowned, and looked down at my shoes coldly, but the corner of my eye was accidentally seen some puddles around, a black four-legged reptilian plunged into the puddle, I gasped suddenly, good guy, I saw a poisonous lizard at this glance, my legs trembled, fortunately that thing didn't come at me.
The water vapor in front of me became more and more solemn, coupled with the gray miasma permeating the air, and at a glance, it seemed as if Master and I were walking in a deserted wilderness, a place that no one had set foot in for many years. In those potholes, there are either fat poisonous spiders weaving webs on them, or black poisonous snakes hovering in between, which makes people can't help but be frightened.
But the master still walked forward step by step, and the black thunder bamboo kept tapping on the ground, and after a while, we saw a pool of water blocking us.
Why is it said to be a piece, just because the edge of this waterhole flooded a large area, like a pond, completely blocking the entire mountain road, but there are still stepping stones around the waterhole. Presumably, through those stepping stones, you can still barely get through.
As I got closer, a foul smell blocked by the miasma wafted unscrupulously from above the black water pool, and I hurriedly stretched out my hand to cover my mouth and nose, and when Master saw this, he just frowned, and quickly jumped on those stepping stones, and flashed through them in succession. I couldn't help but be startled when I saw Master blink past the Black Water Evil Pool, and hurriedly jumped on those stepping stones, but the surface of these stepping stones was slightly smooth, and I was beaten over and over again by the damp miasma, and when I walked on them, the soles of my shoes were always unstable.
"Gollum...... Gurgling ......"
Just halfway through, I coldly heard a strange bubbling sound from the black water pool, so frightened that I couldn't help but take a step back, but there was only one step back a few feet away, it didn't matter if I retreated, I almost stepped into the stinky puddle, but the more panicked, the more people are easy to be stupid, I was crooked, and the whole person was about to fall, and his hands hurriedly slapped in the air and fell forward, but the whole person still fell backwards uncontrollably......
"Be careful!" When Master saw me grab the black thunder bamboo he stretched out, he couldn't help frowning and said.
I turned pale with fright, but fortunately this road was on the edge of the Blackwater Pool, and if I accidentally fell down and threw a few more times, I might really fall into the Blackwater Pool. Holding the black thunder bamboo in Master's hand tightly, I steadied my body with all my might, and got up and jumped over, narrowly passing through the black water pool. I gasped for breath, but at this time, Master frowned and said, "Don't breathe so hard, there is miasma all around, and if you inhale the miasma into your body hard, it will hurt your internal organs!" ”
Hearing this, I hurriedly closed my mouth and used my nose to breathe little by little, and my heart was beating violently.
