Chapter 19: The Cold Light of the Blood Knife
Wu Zhiyuan and Du Yuesheng rolled to both sides respectively, and when the black centipede saw that it was about to pounce in the air, its tail swung in the air, and it turned around and pounced on Wu Zhiyuan.
This trick "centipede tail swinging" shocked Wu Zhiyuan, thinking that this centipede was really not an ordinary mortal. So he didn't dare to hesitate, rolled on the spot again, and picked up the bloody knife with his hand.
Wu Zhiyuan had just stabilized his body, but the black centipede was already close at hand, he didn't have time to react, only heard the black centipede "whoosh", like a leopard pounced on its prey, as fast as lightning, turned into a black line, and bit the back of Wu Zhiyuan's left hand.
Wu Zhiyuan was caught off guard, taken aback, shouted "oops", his left hand shook violently, only to hear "pop", and the black centipede was shaken to the ground, unharmed. Its hundreds of feet swam densely on the ground, its body rotated, adjusted its body shape again, hundreds of feet on the ground at the same time, almost the entire body stood up, and once again let out a burst of "purring" strange screams, just like a cat snoring, its mouth has been fully opened, revealing two pairs of bright red fangs outside, with bursts of "purring" sounds, constantly squirting out a few drops of venom from the mouth.
Without giving Wu Zhiyuan a chance to breathe, the black centipede was another ejection, this time the height of the ejection was obviously higher than the last time, and the target was Wu Zhiyuan's face. At this moment, there was no need to think about it, Wu Zhiyuan instinctively grabbed the blood knife with his right hand, and slashed horizontally towards the black line that shot straight out.
I saw a red light instantly cut off the black line, and with two "pops", the black centipede was cut in two and fell to the ground.
Wu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked down and saw that in less than a minute, the bite wound on the back of his left hand had become red and swollen. Wu Zhiyuan knew that this was a symptom of centipede poison.
Wu Zhiyuan was stung by a scorpion when he was a child, and the symptoms were similar to this time, when his mother Wu quickly squeezed the bruise in the wound for him, and then used dandelion leaves to mash and apply to the wound, but the redness and swelling subsided in half a day. So at this moment, Wu Zhiyuan was not worried at all, his right hand hurriedly put down the blood knife, and stretched out his middle finger to squeeze the bruise in the wound on the back of his left hand.
The moment the poisonous insect bites a person, it will release venom from the fangs, and the venom enters the blood of the human body, which will cause the blood to coagulate instantly, so it seems that Wu Zhiyuan is squeezing the bruise of the wound, but in fact squeezing the venom from the wound.
"Big brother, be careful, that centipede...... The centipede ......" Du Yuesheng hid in the distance, her voice trembling constantly.
Wu Zhiyuan looked at the centipede when he heard the sound and couldn't help but be stunned. Although the black centipede had been split into two parts, the head and tail were like eyes, meandering and crawling on the ground, turning a few times, and then docking back together, and the torso kept writhing, and it was as intact in an instant, and there was no wound to be seen at all.
Wu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and forgot about the swelling and pain on the back of his left hand for a while. He had heard that centipedes had the ability to repair themselves, but he didn't expect that they could recover automatically after being cut in two, which was really incredible.
"Hack it, hack it with a knife!" Du Yuesheng shouted anxiously on the side, and the words he said in a hurry were all the same set of gangsters fighting and killing.
Wu Zhiyuan came back to his senses suddenly, knowing that if he waited for it to pounce and bite on his face, he was afraid that his face would be swollen like a pig's head. The first strike is strong, Wu Zhiyuan picked up the blood knife, aimed at the black centipede on the ground, and slashed it indiscriminately.
"Dangdangdang", the sparks were everywhere, Wu Zhiyuan closed his eyes tightly, and slashed more than a dozen knives in one go. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the black centipede had already been chopped into meat sauce, and the marble slab on the ground had also been cut into more than a dozen cuts by the bloody knife, and the deepest knife could reach more than ten centimeters.
Wu Zhiyuan gasped, his tense nerves relaxed, and he sat on the ground.
"Fuck you!" Du Yuesheng walked over cautiously, saw that the centipede's long beard was still wriggling on the ground, cursed, wanted to step on it with his feet, suddenly realized that it might be poisonous, and retracted his feet in the air, spat at the centipede corpse, turned around and walked to the wall to pick up the candle, and poured wax oil on the centipede corpse.
"Aren't you invincible? Lao Tzu will give you some powerful taste. Du Yuesheng suddenly got up, poured wax oil on the corpse of the centipede, and smiled evilly.
Wu Zhiyuan ignored Du Yuesheng's prank, his eyes completely fell on the bloody knife in his hand. So far, this bloody knife seems to be more mysterious than the tomb owner. The color of the blade of blood is very different from that of a blade in the ordinary sense, it is actually extremely sharp, extremely hard, and the stone slab under its feet has been cut into a hole of more than ten centimeters.
Wu Zhiyuan had never heard of such a strange weapon in the world, he had heard the story of the Mo Evil Double Sword, and he had also heard of other well-known swords in history, but the blood knife in his hand was more mysterious than all the weapons in history, why was it blood-red? What kind of material is it made of? Why does it become the burial object of this hanging coffin? These questions are now a mystery.
"Big brother, we have to find a way to get out." Du Yuesheng finished cleaning up the centipede and looked at the candle in his hand, which only had a short section left.
Wu Zhiyuan came back to his senses from his thoughts, found the scabbard, put away the bloody knife, and the two wrapped the gold and silver jewelry all over the ground, Wu Zhiyuan stepped on Du Yuesheng's shoulder, climbed out of the thief hole, and pulled Du Yuesheng up with a shovel at the entrance of the cave.
When they returned to the ruined temple, it was already noon, and the stolen artifact had already stuffed the two of them with pockets and cloth pockets and all the places that could hold things, and the two were so tired that they were panting. Wu Zhiyuan had just stepped into the temple gate with his front foot, and suddenly felt a burst of dizziness, and he was unsteady on his feet, and he fell to the ground, and the spiritual weapon on his body fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Du Yuesheng walked in front, looked back when he heard the sound, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Wu Zhiyuan. I saw that Wu Zhiyuan's face was blue, his whole body kept shivering, and even his teeth kept trembling, as if he was very cold.
"Big brother, big brother, what's wrong with you?" This sudden change startled Du Yuesheng, and hurriedly tried Wu Zhiyuan's forehead, which was surprisingly cold.
"Oh no, maybe it's the cold." Du Yuesheng thought to herself. I have had such symptoms a few times, and suddenly I had chills all over my body, and the cold passed, and a high fever followed, so I had to prepare antipyretic medicine quickly. Western medicine works quickly, but the price is extremely expensive, but fortunately, I still have a big ocean in my pocket. Du Yuesheng leaned Wu Zhiyuan against the wall and lay down, took off his coat and covered him, and hurried into the city.
I don't know how long it took, Wu Zhiyuan only felt that his body was gradually warming, although he still felt cold, but it was much better than before. His thoughts drifted, and he began to think wildly, and suddenly remembered that Zhang Zefang had taught him the ** of collecting the essence of the sun and the moon, and also told him to practice diligently, after he left home, he had no fixed place to live, and he had already put this matter behind him, could it be the sequelae left by that resurrection?
Thinking about this, Wu Zhiyuan got up with a strong spirit, sat cross-legged, recited the mantra in his heart, and under the exhalation, he felt that his breathing was gradually smooth, his body temperature continued to rise, and a qi swam in his body, and finally returned to the dantian qi sea.
Wu Zhiyuan had practiced this course under the personal guidance of Zhang Zefang, so he was naturally familiar with it here. In less than a moment, he felt refreshed, and the previous feeling of coldness was gone.
It seems that this Sun-Harvesting Essence Moon Huagong really has a certain effect, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be grateful to Zhang Zefang in his heart, and at the same time, he strengthened his belief in learning Maoshan spells.
Du Yuesheng ran all over Qingdao City to find a Western pharmacy, bought the medicine and hurried back, as soon as he stepped into the temple gate, he saw Wu Zhiyuan in good spirits, no sign of fever, and suddenly looked stunned.
Seeing that Wu Zhiyuan was unharmed, Du Yuesheng spread the stolen treasures on the ground, a big pile, and the two felt that although the trip was dangerous, it was really worth it.
"We'll go back in a moment and get back what is left of the coffin. We suffered so much that we almost died in it, and now that the roads are paved, if we don't get them all back, we will only cheapen the grave robbers who go later. Du Yuesheng sorted the jewelry spread on the ground in his hand.
Wu Zhiyuan remembered the thrilling scenes experienced by the two in the tomb, and felt that Du Yuesheng's words were very reasonable, so the two went to the market to buy a hemp bag, and they didn't care about resting, so they went directly to the tomb to sweep away the remaining gold, silver and jewelry.
When they returned to the ruined temple again, it was already night, and the two lit a fire and divided all the gold, silver and jewelry into two piles of the same size, one for Wu Zhiyuan and one for Du Yuesheng.
Wu Zhiyuan looked at the pile of treasures in front of him, and the feeling in his heart was extremely complicated. This wealth is not easy to come by, it was obtained by him and Du Yuesheng with hard work, but this wealth is a little unclean, after all, this is the income of tomb robbery, after all, it will not see the light, and it is not practical to spend it. In addition, he thought of his parents, if the pair of babies were replaced by the ocean, it was estimated that it would be enough for them to eat and drink for a lifetime.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan sighed, and was about to pack up his part, but saw Du Yuesheng divide his own part into two equal parts.
"Big brother, this pile will be given to you too." Du Yuesheng pushed one of them in front of Wu Zhiyuan.
"Yuesheng, this ...... What does that mean? Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled, this was obtained by the two brothers together, and it was the fairest for the two to divide it equally, but Du Yuesheng took out half of his own share, what was he thinking in his heart?
