Chapter 40: The Black Pipa

The partridge whistle saw that the mountain scorpion had been forced out of the coffin, so he pulled out another German-made, thinking that a shot would kill it, but seeing that the three roosters and the giant scorpion were fighting tightly, covering the angle of the shot, this tomb robbery was inseparable from the angry chicken to resist the poisonous zombies, so it could not easily hurt its life, so it had to calm down and watch the fight.

At this moment, I saw that the back of the mountain scorpion suddenly bulged out, and the back shell was almost transparent, the mountain scorpion seemed to be crazy and rushed around, and suddenly there was a muffled sound like a cracked silk, and the back of the scorpion cracked from it, and a wisp of white gas came out of it, which was like mercury, and it was forced to "Jade Rabbit".

The "moving mountain division technique" used by the people who moved the mountain to rob the tomb seemed to be unpredictable in the eyes of the world, but its key points were not separated from the way of "life restraint", this time the tomb robbery in the bottle mountain, it was precisely because of the poisonous mirage miasma in the medicine mountain, so that the "angry chicken" was specially found from the nearby Jinfeng Village, and the hundred poisons that were hidden in the mountain shade were not its opponents, but the night was thick, and the rooster's fierceness was reduced by half, and for a while he could not endure the mountain scorpion that came out of the coffin.

Partridge whistle and others stood more than a dozen steps to open the battle, only to see the mountain scorpion with a wide belly and a thick back, but the left rush and suddenly could not get out, and finally the whole body suddenly curled up, a huge crack on the back, from which a cloud of white mist emerged, straight up and down to gather but not disperse, although the three roosters also fought red eyes, but when they saw the mountain scorpion suddenly moved, they couldn't help but be taken aback, and they didn't know its reality, so they immediately split up and retreated to dodge.

The partridge whistle saw that the white mist coming out of the scorpion's back was strange, and quickly waved his hand to let the red girl and the cave barbarian take a few steps back, at this time the mountain breeze blew lightly, and the white mist was dissolved, but the mountain scorpion cracked from its back, like opening a big mouth of a black hole, and a small scorpion with white flowers crawled out of it, breaking free from the back of the female scorpion, and escaping in all directions.

The mountain scorpion that is completely cracked on the back is lying on the ground like a broken armor sac, and no longer moves, it has been dead for a long time, and the angry chicken sees many red and white small scorpions crawling out of the back of the female scorpion, and they are the natural enemies of the physical nature, which is willing to let go, and immediately relax the feathers and puff their wings, pounce on the little scorpions one by one and peck them into the stomach, and the other two roosters also stepped forward one after another, and swept away dozens of small scorpions in an instant, and did not let them get rid of half of them, and they were all buried in the belly of the chicken.

The cave barbarian saw it on the side, patted his head with his hand, and whistled to the partridge: "It turns out that the mountain scorpion got into the coffin to give birth to a ...... by yin qi."

There is a folk proverb near the old bear ridge that "the scorpion has no mother since childhood", the local mountain scorpion only gives birth once in a lifetime, and all give birth from behind, and when the little scorpion is born, it is the period when the old scorpion dies, so the orphans who have no relatives in the Xiangxi village are called "scorpion children" by the mountain people.

The female scorpion burrows into the coffin with the corpse, because of the obscure corpse gas, which can make it temporarily relieve the pain of back fissure and death, most of the local mountain people know that the small scorpion born by the female scorpion is always the number of "thirty and six", no more and no less, just the number of a pair of dominoes, therefore, there are also commonly known as mountain scorpions as "dominoes".

Partridge Whistle has never been to the old bear ridge this fierce hole before, although he is well-known, but there are also things that do not know, do not know the peculiar habits of the local mountain scorpion, listen to the cave barbarian guide said the root seedlings, this is to know, but he sees that there are many rare medicine stones in the bottle mountain, and the poison hidden in the mountain is also strange, how to pay attention to these many, as long as you identify the way of Shengke, take a few roosters into the mountain, and there is no defense.

The partridge whistle saw that the three roosters had eaten dozens of small scorpions, and when they were full, his expression became even more depressed, so he ordered the cave barbarian to catch them back to the bamboo basket, and he himself and the red girl went forward to check the contents of the coffin.

The two walked to the coffin with knives and guns, first looked at the old ape pressed on the bottom of the coffin, the bottom of the purple coffin was cast with eight strange beasts carrying the coffin, all of them were stout and scaly half-human and half-beast appearance, the scale monster carrying the coffin not only showed that the status of the corpse in the coffin was respected, but also had the effect of preventing moisture in the tomb, so that the purple coffin was slightly higher from the ground, if the rain flooded into the tomb, even if it was difficult to discharge it for a while, it would not soak the coffin and drown.

The white-haired old ape was smashed on the ground by the coffin, fortunately there is a structure of a strange beast carrying the coffin at the bottom of the coffin, there is still such a gap from the ground, and there are many fallen leaves that have been knocked down by the rain in the dense forest, and the ground is thick and thick, and the white ape is stubborn and strong, under a catastrophe, it has not died, but it is not lightly injured.

The partridge whistle leaned down, and took the lantern to the bottom of the coffin, and saw that the white-haired ape had blood flowing from its mouth and nose, and was motionless under it, as if it had died.

Partridge Whistle thought to himself, "This old monkey was still able to move just now, why is it not moving now?" Then he raised his foot and kicked the exposed arm of the ape, and the old ape at the bottom of the coffin really shrank his arm to dodge, opened his eyes and turned around, and grinned at the partridge whistle, and in addition to seven points of horror in his eyes, there were three points of viciousness in his eyes.

The partridge whistle saw that this ape looked cunning, and knew that it was by no means a good kind, everything in the world was born and died with nature, and when the years were deep, it would recede its original coat color, from gray to white, and then from white to silver, to this extent, it is no longer a common thing, either a fairy or a demon, but it can understand people's hearts.

Listen to the cave barbarian, the monkeys near the white ape cave in this bottle of mountain often intercept the guests who have fallen alone in the past to snatch food, which has killed many people, and even the clothing and goods are not let go.

Partridge Whistle estimated that the old fox and the ancient raccoon stele were all the way, and there was already murderous intent in his heart, so he wanted to shoot the old ape and eliminate the name of the White Ape Cave, but the red girl did not take seriously what the cave barbarian said about the monkeys harming people's lives, and had never seen the monkeys cause trouble to people, and the old ape was very injured, and it would not live for a few days if it was released, so he persuaded the Partridge Whistle to show mercy to his subordinates, and read it on the white ape's only breath left, and spare it to live a few more days.

Partridge Whistle heard her say this, it was inconvenient to refute, and had to press the killing machine, anyway, this old ape only had half a life left, and the right to leave it to live for a while, he held his own gun quickly, and wanted to take the life of this ape It was really useless, and now the major event is now, it is important to open the coffin and take the treasure, so he put away the gun and got up, let the white ape press on the bottom of the coffin and grit his teeth, and no longer pay attention to it.

The three of them then stood on the side of the purple gold coffin, leaned out under the moonlight to see the situation in the coffin, at this time the moon shadow fell, the cold and dim light sprinkled in the coffin, only to see the dead monkey and the zombie in the coffin were still stacked in one place, so they still used the "centipede hanging ladder" to pull the body of the bald monkey, pick it out of the coffin, and throw it off under the tree in the distance.

In this way, the situation of the ancient corpse lying flat in the coffin is vivid, although the zombie of the Yuan Dynasty has been dead for nearly seven hundred years, even the purple embroidered brocade robe worn has begun to deteriorate, but the face of the ancient corpse has not changed, only the color of the skin of the whole body is purple and stiff, a messy hair is scattered and half covers the head and face, and the body is taller than a person, although it has been dead for hundreds of years, but the heroic and awe-inspiring murderous aura has not yet dissipated.

The army of the Yuan Dynasty is not only the Mongols, the Western Regions Mobei countries and even Goryeo, Hanyi people have, this general has strong Western Regions characteristics in color and appearance, but see that his mouth is closed, it looks like his cheeks are slightly bulging, has not collapsed and withered, and it is expected that his mouth contains a treasure of staying in the face.

Partridge Whistle is looking forward to the zombie's mouth being a pearl, but he also knows that the corpses of princes and nobles have always had three kinds of things in their mouths, one is Zhuyan San, which is an antiseptic secret medicine with mercury as the main raw material; The second is jade, jade can produce cold, the cool and moist jade is made into the shape of a human tongue, and when the deceased is in his mouth, the cool jade can make the nine orifices refreshing and prevent the corpse from decaying; The most precious are the moonlight pearls or exotic pearls produced at the bottom of the sea; As for the method of copper coins with pressure mouths, they were hardly adopted among the ancient aristocracy.

Look at the zombie in this purple gold coffin, always exposed to the night wind, but the skin and flesh shrink and collapse is not obvious, there must be special embalming methods in the corpse, but when the partridge whistle takes a closer look, the heart is immediately suspicious, it turns out that the zombie's nostrils and ears are full of pure gold powder, and the thing that uses gold to stay on the face has never been in the world, how can there be gold in the body of the zombie in the Yuan Dynasty? When the muzzle of the gun was pressed on the ear of the dead body, a piece of gold dust immediately fell off, and a lot of dirty blood gushed out of the ear hole, and the blood flowed into the coffin, and the smell was unbearable.

The partridge whistle was puzzled, and couldn't figure out what to do, so now he had to pry open the mouth of the corpse to see what was going on, and was about to enter the coffin to open the corpse, when he suddenly heard a soft sound behind the tree, and hurriedly looked up, he saw a crooked neck tree trunk trembling slightly, and the leaves fell one after another, as if it was being pushed and shaken by someone, but the body of the tree was hugged thick, and how could it be shaken by the strength of leisure?

The partridge whistled and scolded: "Noise, could it be that the group of thieves and monkeys are coming back again?" As he spoke, he had dragged the German twenty rings in his hand, and the gun turned around in his hand, and the nose of the machine was already opened, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the white ape under the coffin, thinking that if the monkeys were disturbing the side, it would be difficult to open the corpse and pick up the pearl and jade with peace of mind, so he might as well light the half-dead old white ape with one shot.

Seeing that the partridge whistle was about to kill the white ape, at this time, the cave barbarian jumped up more than a foot high on the spot and shouted: "The big thing is not good, I forgot such a big thing, Brother Mo, the time has long passed, but now it is the first time?" ”

Partridge Whistle and the Red Girl saw that the barbarian's expression changed greatly, and they didn't know what they were frightened by, as if they were a corpse, and they didn't understand what he meant, so they said, "What is the first time?" ”

At this time, the cave barbarian had already picked up the chicken coop and held it in his arms and shook it vigorously, and he had already remembered the date and time: "The two of them learned that when they met at midnight, the mountain scorpion was every single and single, and every double and double, and just got rid of a female, and there must be a more ruthless male scorpion hidden near the left." "The male scorpion is the most vicious in the mountain scorpion, although the body size is smaller than the female scorpion, but its poison is fierce, it is difficult to deal with, it is now late at night, the three roosters have just eaten the little scorpion, all are mentally exhausted, no matter how to shake the bamboo basket, they will not wake up.

The cave barbarian was frightened and panicked, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the partridge whistle held him down and said, "What are you panicking about?" It's just another mountain scorpion, how much wind and waves can it have? ”

At this moment, the red girl suddenly pointed to the swaying tree whistle in the distance, and whispered, "Look, there is something in the tree!" "The partridge whistle and the cave barbarian heard that the prestige was about to pass, and under the shadow of the moon, there was a pitch-black mountain scorpion hanging on the tree with a crooked neck, and the scorpion hung upside down on the tree, like a pitch-black old pipa, and with a slight movement, the hard shell of the limbs on the body was like the friction of iron leaves, and it was extremely fierce, no less than the six-winged centipede hiding in the Dan Palace.

The cave barbarian exclaimed: "My lord, it is the black pipa essence in the scorpion of Xiangxi Mountain......" Before his words fell, the black pipa hanging upside down on the tree had stretched its palate teeth and showed a pair of blood chelas, and it fell from the old tree with a crooked neck.

Scorpion sex is extraordinary, are the most urgent to dry, such as suicide and other desperate things, some people can do it, not everyone can do, but if it comes to the genus of poisonous insects, but only mountain scorpions can commit suicide, if you catch a scorpion and put it in a glass bottle, with a convex fire mirror in the sunlight on it, the scorpion is in pain and can not escape in the bottle, it will reverse the tail and stab itself to death, its madness can be seen.

When the black pipa came down from the tree, it felt that there were dead scorpions and roosters near the coffin, and it had already triggered madness, and the whole body was full of resentment, and it was like a black wind that circled at the bottom of the tree, and the crooked neck tree was suddenly uprooted by it, and fell into the bushes with a bang, and the mountain scorpion shaped like a black pipa disappeared into the depths of the grass and trees.

The partridge whistle came so quickly, raised the mirror box gun in his hand for twenty rings, a long shot swept over, and the long grass cut off by the rain of bullets fell down, but the forest was dense and overgrown, and it was impossible to see whether it hit the black lute, and in an instant the twenty bullets in the magazine had been announced, the partridge whistle stared at the trail of the mountain scorpion moving the grass, and quickly replaced the magazine in his hand, and he made a voice at the same time to let the cave barbarian and the red girl hurry up to open the cage and release the chickens, there are too many obstacles in this dense forest, and it is difficult to shoot the target if it is a little farther away, The only way to get the rooster to go to the fight is to get the rooster to fight.

In fact, the red girl and the cave barbarian did not need to listen to the order, they had already thrown the three sleeping roosters in the bamboo basket outside, but the roosters were full, and the night was deep, although the mortal enemy was in front of them, but they were completely unable to shake the spirit to pounce on the past and fight, so anxious that the cave barbarian was helpless, seeing the black pipa in the grass getting closer and closer, how could he manage a lot, one by one picked up the three half-asleep big roosters, and looked at the direction from the air to the mountain scorpion.
