Chapter 155: The Heavenly Divine Tree
Seeing the corpses in the tomb, Commander Pi knew that they were late, so he held a torch and took a photo, only to see four corpses lying on the ground! Two of the corpses near the door were blurred with flesh and blood bitten by something, and they could no longer be seen in human form! There was also a dried corpse lying on the altar, which had also been broken into several pieces! There is only one corpse under the altar, which is still relatively intact!
Company Commander Pi waved a soldier and ordered him to turn the body over.
The soldier turned over the corpse under the altar according to his words, and the company commander took a light with a torch, and saw that the man's thief eyebrows and rat eyes were not a good person at first glance, and he thought to himself: "This time I came out, I have already made a military order with the marshal, I thought that this matter would be captured, but I didn't expect to let these thieves take the lead!" Whether or not I found something is still secondary, but how can I explain it to the handsome man this time? ”。 Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be annoyed, so he kicked the dead body on the ground hard!
The kick of the company commander kicked the dead corpse, only to feel that the corpse was soft, his heart moved, and his heart said: "Isn't this person dead yet?" If that's the case, won't I be able to find their nest and recover the insects? Thinking of this, Company Commander Pi hurriedly asked his subordinates to check if the person was still alive!
The soldiers surrounded the man and listened to his heart for a long time, and then they reported that although the breath of the man lying on the ground was broken, his heart was still beating! Company Commander Pi was surprised when he heard this, and thought to himself: "If this person is not panting, then he must suffocate to death?" How can there still be a heartbeat? It's weird! ”。 This Pi Lian is not very old, but he is a veteran oilman, and he has seen more dead people than others have eaten more grains of rice! He's never seen someone die like this? Curious, he was about to lean over to probe the man's snort, but suddenly heard the sick old man yell! Company Commander Pi was all on that person's body and mind at this time, how could he withstand his such fright? Immediately "snorted" in his throat, jumped up, and pulled out the pistol easily!
At this moment, a white light flashed in the mouth of the dead corpse, and a fat bug suddenly scurried onto a soldier's body! When the soldier saw the strange insect flying, he quickly dodged to the side, raised his gun and fired! But the strange insect was too fast, and everyone felt that as soon as they saw it, the strange insect got into the flesh and skin of the soldiers!
The soldier screamed and cried, and in a moment he fell to the ground! Everyone was shocked, no one had ever seen a worm kill people! These soldiers, although they are all brave, but they are all coarse people who can't read big words, where do they know the mystery of this strange worm? Naturally, they were terrified, and they raised their guns to shoot at the dead soldiers! All of a sudden, the gunfire rang out, hitting the soldier all over his body, like a sieve!
Seeing this, the sick old man hurriedly shouted: "Don't shoot, don't shoot!" Beware of hurting the insects! ”。
Company Commander Pi heard that the strange insect just now was the heavenly insect they were looking for this time, and hurriedly shouted that they were not allowed to shoot! However, because the gunfire was too loud, the order of the company commander Pi had already been drowned out by the gunshots, and seeing that the life of the heavenly insect was not guaranteed, the company commander Pi couldn't help but be angry, raised his foot and kicked over a soldier, and scolded: "Stop shooting!" Stop shooting! Are your turtle grandsons stuffed with donkey hair in your ears? ”。
The soldiers stopped shooting, but they didn't dare to approach the dead soldier any longer. Company Commander Pi turned his face, immediately changed his face to a flattering expression, nodded and said to the sick old man: "Old fairy, I was thanks to you just now!" Otherwise, this heavenly worm will really be destroyed in the hands of these turtle bastards! ”。
The sick old man looked arrogant, snorted coldly and said, "What do they know? You go and tell them not to move, if you want to catch the insects alive, the old man will have to work hard! ”。
The company commander Napi was naturally very grateful, and turned around and ordered all the soldiers to stand in place, and they were not allowed to move without an order, and those who violated the order were shot! Although Company Commander Pi didn't know the origin of the Heavenly Worm, he saw that it could kill people in a flash, and it was a little more powerful than the gun! Fortunately, there is only one celestial insect in this tomb, otherwise it is impossible to say who will kill the deer today!
After the company commander finished the order, he clenched his pistol tightly to make sure that everything was in order. Then he said respectfully to the sick old man: "Old fairy, your old man can do it!" ”。
The sick old man nodded, stretched out his hand and said to Jia Laodao, "Give me Mu Ding!" ”。
Jia Laodao pouted reluctantly and said, "Uncle Shi, do you really want to help them catch insects?" ”。
Pi Lian raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, how do you talk about you, a stinky Taoist?" Aren't we all talked? Why, do you still want to regret it? ”。
The sick old man smiled slightly and said, "Company Commander Pi, don't worry!" Old decay counts! My master and nephew have been unruly since he was a child, and since his master died, he has become even more lawless! ”。
Pi Lian Chang laughed dryly, glanced at Jia Laodao fiercely, and said, "You might as well do it, I like this kind of outspoken person the most!" ”。 Immediately secretly ruthless in his heart, he said in his heart: "Okay, you stinky old man, if it weren't for your uncle's face, Lao Tzu would have shot you a long time ago!" ”。
Jia Laodao was helpless, and slowly took out a small Fang Ding from his arms! That Fang Ding is only the size of a human palm, the wood grain around the body is brilliant, the ears are square, and there is a monster with a fox face and a snake body carved on the belly of the Ding!
The sick old man took Mu Ding, groped for a while, and said to himself: "Brother Ding, Brother Ding! After all these years, I'm going to catch you again! ”。 After that, he was about to stride forward, but was suddenly stopped by Jia Laodao!
Pi Lian grew up angry, pointed his gun at Jia Laodao, and shouted, "What are you going to do?" If you dare to spoil Lao Tzu's good deeds, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind to you! ”。
Jia Laodao didn't care about the company commander, and only said to the sick old man: "Uncle Shi, your old man is old, and his hands and feet are inconvenient, why don't you let me catch the insects on your behalf?" ”。
The sick old man couldn't help but feel very relieved when he saw that Jia Laodao's filial piety was commendable, and said with his back: "Your skills are no longer under me, come, come, come, take this wooden tripod and lure the worm out to me!" ”。
Jia Laodao's expression was solemn, and he bowed down to take the wooden ding! The sick old man then attached his ear and gave such and such an order, Jia Lao couldn't help nodding and secretly wrote it down!
Han Sanbian was lying on the ground outside the door, not daring to move, he saw the sick old man and Jia Laodao talking to each other, muttering, he couldn't help but be curious, and said in his heart: "This time Lao Tzu wants to see, what means did you Jia Lao Dao use to catch that ferocious celestial worm?" ”。
The sick old man gave Jia Laodao a face-to-face lecture, Jia Laodao couldn't help but suddenly brighten, he held the wooden tripod in both hands, walked a few steps forward, suddenly shortened his body, put the wooden tripod on the ground, and then took out half a piece of rotten wood the size of a fingernail from the sleeve of his robe and put it into the wooden tripod! Just when everyone was amazed, Jia Laodao ignited the sawdust again!
After the sawdust was ignited, a wisp of green smoke rose from the wooden ding, reaching the top of the tomb, and then, Han Sanbian smelled a strange fragrance! Han Sanbian couldn't help but wonder, and secretly said in his heart: "What is the thing that Jia Lao Dao ordered?" How can it smell so good? ”。
Before he could finish this thought, he heard Company Commander Pi ask the sick old man, "Old fairy, what is he doing here?" How can I smell sweeter than the rouge gouache on that little girl's body? ”。
The sick old man coughed and said, "I don't know, what is burning in this wooden tripod is a piece of debris from the Heavenly Divine Tree that the old man has collected over the years!" ”。
Pi Lian's eyebrows twitched, and he was curious: "Tongtian Divine Wood? What's that? ”。
The sick old man frowned and said, "It's not surprising that the official doesn't know, I think there are very few people in the world who know about this Heavenly Divine Tree, let alone use it to catch Heavenly Insects!" ”。 Han Sanbian was quite conceited when he heard the sick old man's words, and couldn't help but be unconvinced: "Isn't it just catching a broken worm, what's the big deal?" Is it worth your brag? ”。
As soon as he thought of this, he heard Company Commander Pi say "oh" and asked the sick old man: "Old immortal, since you have such good means, why don't you want to serve the commander?" Why should you be trapped in the countryside and suffer so much? ”。
The sick old man laughed and said: "The old man is already a person who has buried half of his body in the loess, what do I want from fame and fortune?" ”。
Pi Lian Chang snorted and said, "I don't understand this, since you know that this heavenly worm can live forever, why don't you catch it yourself and take it?" Why sit back and wait to die? ”。
The sick old man laughed and said, "Captain Pi, do you also believe in those nonsense of immortality? ”。
Company Commander Pi was surprised: "Could it be that those legends about taking heavenly insects to achieve immortality are all false rumors?" ”。
The sick old man smiled slightly and said: "Pi Lian Chang, you must have seen it just now, after that insect enters the human body, it immediately makes people breathe off and paralyzes their bodies, how can they make people immortal?" ”。
Pi Lian was taken aback and said, "So, this insect not only can't make people immortal, but can harm people's lives?" ”。
The sick old man nodded and sighed and said, "What Company Commander Pi said is very true, but unfortunately there are not many people in this world who are as wise as Company Commander Pi!" ”。
When Commander Pi Lian heard the praise of the old fairy, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said in his heart: "Don't look at this old man's sick and crooked appearance, his vision is quite accurate!" ”。
The sick old man stroked his beard and asked Company Commander Pi, "Where did we just go?" ”。
Company Commander Pi hurriedly woke up from his intoxication and said, "It seems to be ...... By the way, you've been talking about the Babel Tree! ”。
The sick old man nodded and continued. It turns out that there is a legend in ancient times, saying that there is a sacred tree through the sky in this mountain, and the sacred tree is extremely large and towering into the clouds! Whenever the world is in turmoil, there are always gods who come down from the sacred tree to save the people from fire and water! Later, the people who lived under the sacred tree knew that as long as they could climb into the heavenly palace through the sacred tree, they could get rid of the human cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death! So people climbed to the top of the sacred tree in droves!
However, the Sacred Tree was so tall that it was impossible to climb to the top of the Sacred Tree with the strength of mortals, so people fell from the tree one after another and died! The man of God took pity on these mortals, and hated the insatiable greed of mortals, so he cut off the sacred tree, and from then on severed the connection between God and man! And that extremely vicious heavenly insect is ...... from that divine tree!
