Chapter 15: Six Wings (Part II)
The group of thieves on the top of the mountain were looking at themselves and wanted to see through, when they suddenly heard the noise of the mountain wall below as if they were boiling a pot, and there was a chaotic sound, and the hundreds of people were frightened by the sudden violent noise, and they were squeezed to the edge of the cliff to look down, and they opened their mouths wide in shock, and they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
I saw that the chaotic clouds and thick fog in the depths of the mountain gap were scattered by a cloud of black gas, and a large centipede that was about a foot long climbed up from the bottom of the valley quickly. This large centipede is composed of 22 segments in flat links, the top of the head is jet black, the first segment is yellowish-brown, the rest of the segments are dark blue on the back, dark yellow on the ventral surface, and each segment has five pairs of raw mouths, and the ones with the edges of the mouth become gill feet, hooked claws are sharp and agile.
The most strange thing is that this centipede has six wings on its back, three pairs of wings are transparent, like dragonfly wings, the whole body is bubbling with black gas, there is an obvious red mark on the back from head to tail, more than 100 steps are separated, the claws on both sides are moving, scratching the almost vertical cliff, just like a black dragon rumbling and swimming up.
What is even more unexpected is that there is a person on the head of the six-winged centipede, who is wearing a green robe, carrying a pigeon cage on his back, and a cinnabar silk on his arm, and the red silk flutters in the wind. It was not someone else, it was the blind man Chen who was the leader of the Jieling bandit, he grabbed a pair of palatine teeth on the head of the big centipede, and desperately pulled the big centipede, obviously frightened, and rushed up to the top of the mountain along the steep cliff with a gust of black wind from the deep stream.
This centipede likes shade and coolness, lurking at the bottom of the damp valley during the day, and when there is sunshine, it easily refuses to appear, who knows that it was accidentally hit by Chen Blind, and jumped to the top of its head, and suddenly it jumped up the mountain, and even forgot to vomit poison to the end of the cliff, and suddenly bowed its waist, and the tail jumped more than ten zhang high.
There were also many well-informed thieves left on the top of the mountain, but in any case, they did not expect such a large centipede to emerge from the crack of the mountain hundreds of feet deep. All centipedes are judged by the number of steps, the habits are fierce and vicious, and there is no time to count them in confusion, but the steps of this centipede are enough to make people's scalp numb, and the old centipede can only give birth to a pair of wings after hundreds of years, it actually has six wings, how big does this have to be?
The thieves of the Jieling group, as well as the soldiers of the engineer battalion and the pistol company, all had guns, and the momentum of the centipede was so frightened that they were stunned, and they shouted and scattered to dodge, and no one bothered to shoot, but in this way, it saved the life of the blind man, otherwise he would inevitably be shot into a sieve if the guns were all thrown together.
But at the moment, Chen's blind man's situation was not much better, he was pulled by the force of the centipede's rapid crawling upward, and his body was like a weightless paper kite, but he knew that as soon as he let go, he would have to fall into a meat patty. Suddenly, the sun was dazzling, the centipede actually left the cliff and jumped in the air, its three pairs of wings were just ornaments, rushing up to the sky from the bottom of the valley, all by being frightened and jumping around and forming a huge impact, seeing that the sky was bright, where was willing to stay in mid-air, a turn turned and fell with his head and tail, turned around and escaped into Shenrun, knocked a thief who climbed on the rock wall down the deep stream, and instantly disappeared into the chaotic clouds, with a burst of fried salt bean-like scratching the sound of the wall, stopped, the six-winged centipede disappeared.
Chen Blind was thrown off the top of his head by the six-winged centipede, and when he fell, he somersaulted and fell to the crown of a large tree on the top of the mountain, but fortunately, the branches were lush and did not hurt his muscles and bones. Even so, I felt that my whole body hurt so much that I fell to the bone, one Buddha ascended to heaven, and two Buddhas were born, and I didn't know anything about heaven and earth in my head.
Luo Lao saw that the big centipede had escaped into the depths of the clouds, so he took out his gun and shot a few deserters, gathered the troops, rushed over, and carried the blind man Chen down from the tree. At this time, the mute Kunlun Moeller and others also climbed to the top of the mountain, and everyone was worried about their safety, and they all came over to see the life and death of the blind man.
Luo Lao called out a few times in a row, and only then did Chen Blind's closed eyes open his eyes, and with an "ah" sound, he was so painful that he slammed his teeth. Just now, from bottom to top and from top to bottom, I went back and forth a few times, and my head was dizzy, and Venus was in front of me, and everything was ghosted, and it slowed down for a long time before I said to Luo Lao crookedly: "Luo Shuai...... How did you grow two heads? ”
Luo Lao Crooked's plan to expand armaments through tomb robbery and windfall was all counting on Chen Blind Man, and he was overjoyed to see him unharmed at this time, and just now everyone witnessed Chen Blind Man standing on the head of the centipede, flying into the air and escaping from danger without any damage, how could ordinary people do it? Everyone praised: "Mr. Chen's head is worthy of being the chief scoop on the green forest road, he really has the means to reach the sky, and today I can see it with my own eyes, so that we are convinced, and I am willing to swear to the death to follow the left and right......."
Chen Blind was shocked, but he couldn't lose his demeanor, he grinned reluctantly, hugged his fists tremblingly, and said: "Behind the heroes are heroes, and there are heroes around them." If it weren't for the brothers' deep righteousness and willingness to sacrifice their lives to save each other, even if Chen had three heads and six arms, I am afraid he would not be alive now. ”
As he spoke, Chen Blind wanted to struggle to stand up, but only then did he see that his legs were as soft as noodles, and the three souls fluttered in his body, and the seven spirits flew around, and where could he stand up.
Luo Lao Crooked hurriedly beckoned a few of his subordinates, there are many mountain roads in Xiangxi, even if it is a powerful person to go out and ride a sedan chair, it is not convenient, so the sliding rod carried by the two is more common, so they found a vice sliding rod to lift Chen Blind, reorganized the formation, and returned to the foot of Bottle Mountain.
It wasn't until dusk that Chen was blind and returned the yang. This time, the tomb robbery was unfavorable, and he encountered an unprecedented setback, the more unpredictable, the more unwilling he was, and he regretted a little bit that he didn't listen to the words of the partridge whistle of the mountain man, but as the leader of the mountain road, he led the tomb robbery to nothing, and what face did he have in the future? Life on the green forest road is not worth anything, but the face is the most important, but even if you bring people into the underground palace again, it is nothing more than repeating the mistakes of the past, the ancient tomb is simply a nest of poisonous mirages, and the power of the mountain alone cannot be dealt with at all.
When Chen Blind was hesitating and hesitating, the red girl persuaded beside her: "Now that you have entered the land of Dongyi, the time and place have been lost, why not retreat to Xiangyin for the time being, and Xu Tu has a good strategy......
As soon as Luo Lao Crooked heard that the red girl persuaded Chen Blind to withdraw from the army, how could he interject without waiting for her to finish speaking, and interrupted the conversation: "Stay with me, Luo Lao Crooked is a person in the army, and the most important thing is to avoid returning in vain, since he came with his brothers, how to explain when he went back empty-handed?" simply didn't do anything, and if you couldn't get in from above, you dug up the tomb door from the bottom of the mountain and paved it with lime step by step. This is called step by step in the art of war, although it is to eat some work, but there is no flaw in the most, even if there is a six-winged centipede in the tomb, ** his grandmother Lao Tzu asked his subordinates to shoot a few rows of guns, and they also managed to shoot it a hundred and ten transparent holes. ”
After Luo Lao Crooked finished speaking, he happened to see the beauty of the red girl's face in the sunset, coupled with the heroic spirit between the eyebrows, which was really bright and beautiful, and couldn't help but move his previous thoughts again. He knew that the red girl's greatest wish was to revive the ancient color trick of the Moon Gate in Shanghai, so he persuaded her: "Let's rob the tomb to get money, just to achieve a great cause in the troubled times, and in the future, when the world is calm, your big brother Luo and Mr. Chen will inevitably be crowned kings." At that time, you are going to go to the bright Shanghai beach, with your small figure and the means of the ancient color trick of the Moon Gate, plus I will not hesitate to blood to support you, it is really asking for money, money, people must praise you, you will be praised by half the sky......"
Before Luo Lao's crooked words were finished, he was slapped in the face by the red girl, and she shot like lightning, Luo Lao's crooked cheeks were beaten so spicy that the corners of his crooked mouth were almost corrected by this slap. Although Luo Lao Crooked knew that he had just said it on a whim, revealing swear words, but since he beat him up, he became a warlord leader like the emperor of the soil, who would dare to touch him, Luo Shuai, a single hair? couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and wanted to shoot the woman who didn't know how to lift on the spot.
Chen Blind knows that the red girl has a fierce personality, and would rather be a broken jade than a tile, in order to take revenge, he once wiped out the enemy's whole family, and Luo Lao is a grass-headed Hades who kills people without blinking, and the two of them are very bad when they fight, and hurriedly persuaded them: "Luo Shuai temporarily rests the anger of the thunder, the power of the tiger and the wolf, the foolish brother is good at looking at the appearance, and has long seen that you are the womb 1, because you killed too many people in the early years, and lost some of the great virtues, which caused the fairy bones to gradually decline, but in the future, if you do your work thoroughly, there will inevitably be a time when you will face the south and turn your back on the north." I think this red girl also has a backbone, just now she slapped away your three years of bad luck, it seems that Luo Shuai's hegemony is just around the corner, and it is gratifying. ”
Luo Lao Crooked has always admired Chen's blind man's ability, and when he heard him say this, he also believed it, and glared at the red girl a few times in a daze, pouted, and said: "Lao Tzu is also a chivalrous temperament, how can a person in the middle of a person be as knowledgeable as a weak woman." In the future, if the girl's hands are itchy, just come and hit Ben Shuai's face again**, his grandmother is for you at all. ”
Chen Blind was afraid that if he continued to talk nonsense, he would cause some trouble. The red girl will never be the kind of person who doesn't dare to touch you when she sees that you Luo Lao has tens of thousands of horses under her command, she is really annoyed, even the emperor Lao Tzu dares to slaughter. These two, one has power and the other has the ability, how can they let them mess up with themselves, so they hurriedly brought the conversation over the matter of deploying the second into the bottle mountain to rob the tomb.
Now it seems that no matter how many bags of lime are dumped from the top of the mountain, it is difficult to affect the poisonous insects hidden in the rock crevices and underground palaces, and then they still have to feed the centipedes from the cliffs, and the six-winged centipede hidden in the depths may not be able to choke with lime, it can only be shot by random guns, but a large number of troops can not go down from the cliff to the underground palace, can only enter from the tomb, and only according to the method that Luo Lao said step by step from the tomb to cut into the underworld.
First, he hurriedly sent people back to carry the necessary supplies, and then deployed the rest of the troops near the underground gate at the bottom of the bottle mountain, and dug the tomb gate according to Chen's instructions.
Blind Chen used his skill of smelling the ground to roughly plan several directions, which could be the entrance to the tomb, so Luo Lao Wei commanded the engineer troops to pick up lamps and dig them overnight.
In the middle of the night, the wind and rain suddenly became obscure in the mountains, and the rain became bigger and bigger, and it was pitch black in the sky, and only the thunder could be heard. In the event of such a heavy rain, there was no way to light the pine candle torches, but the work of digging graves at the foot of the mountain was not stopped, so the use of horse lanterns for lighting was stopped, and rain gear such as hats and robes were used to find the tomb door in the midst of the white lightning and heavy rain.
At that time, there was a common concept among the people, and when digging ancient tombs, if there was an abnormal celestial phenomenon, it was a sign of the manifestation of the soul of the dead in the tomb, and the situation of wind and rain in the deep mountains and old forests could not help but make people fearful. Some of the timid people in the engineer camp inevitably muttered, digging and whispering to each other......
This one said: "Brother, hey, this rain is bubbling all the time, probably because the lonely ghost in the tomb knows that someone is coming to move it, crying and begging for mercy." ”
The one said, "Brother, don't you see that the sky is full of thunder and lightning?" Where is this resentful soul crying, it must be the fierce ghost in the grave, and if you dig it up, I'm afraid that a terrible ghost will come out to ask for your life......"
Just as he was talking about the weakness of his heart, he heard two gunshots in the rain, and these two unlucky men who were soldiers were both "named" by Luo Lao crookedly with a revolver from the back of his head, and without a snort, his head bloomed and died on the spot.
It turned out that Luo Lao was carrying a gun back and forth, patrolling back and forth, supervising the excavation of graves in the engineer battalion, and happened to hear these two boys muttering about the haunting, and suddenly became murderous, and shot them twice, resulting in their lives, and shouted in a loud voice: ", you grandmothers have seen it clearly, and if you dare to be alarmist and disturb the morale of the army, these two will be the end!"
Luo Lao Crooked moved the two sappers who were shot on the spot, and they didn't even send anyone to drag the bodies away, but placed them in the rain for everyone to watch. The 100 men of the pistol company around them surrounded the excavation site with fierce spirits, opened a cordon, and the German-made 20 rounds in their hands opened the nose of the machine, and the muzzle of the hole rotated with the line of sight. The sappers knew that it was powerful, and they no longer dared to say a word, and they dug in teams with hoes and shovels in the pouring rain.
Several large ditches were dug under the gate at the foot of the mountain, and the rainwater flowed in, which could flood over the heads of the builders, so that the captured mountaineers scooped out the water with buckets, and tossed and turned for more than half a night, and finally dug up something. Everyone who saw it exclaimed: "Human head? Watermelon? How can there be watermelons in such deep soil? There seems to be more to come!"
