Chapter 42: Robbers eat people, especially spiders
However, after some searching, there was still an unexpected surprise. Xu Wenshan was in the lobby and found a knife and its sheath in the corner.
In terms of shape, this knife is somewhat similar to the ring head knife of the Western Han Dynasty, with a single-sided blade, a straight and slender blade, with an inner arc, and a small tiger head at the end of the knife handle, which is probably equivalent to the "ring head" of the ring head knife.
The material of this knife is the same as that of the ring head knife, which is also made of steel repeatedly forged and quenched, and this process alone is hundreds of years ahead of Luhegou. The blade of the knife seems to be wiped and maintained frequently, and the owner of the knife must cherish this knife very much. Xu Wenshan guessed that the previous owner of the knife might be the bandit leader here.
The blade is also printed with a text: Yuan Qin Ten Years of Pingjian.
Yuanqin is the name of Chen Guo at this time, and the "Ping" at the back should be a person's name, and "Jian" is not a eunuch, but should mean "Supervisor". Therefore, it is possible that this knife was a saber, which was supervised by an official named "Ping" in the tenth year of Yuan Qin. It was only later that it fell into the hands of robbers, and it is easy to imagine what tragedy happened during this time.
Xu Wenshan danced twice, and he was quite handy. Thanks to Xu Wenshan's previous learning of some secular martial arts, one of them is a "goose falling knife method", at this time, this knife is also a qualified weapon, but the inscription of the military supervisor on the knife must be erased so as not to arouse suspicion.
While Xu Wenshan was searching this place, he always kept an eye on Lu Ze. After concluding the master-slave relationship, the demon cultivator and the monster can sense each other, and the demon power can also flow in the body of the two of them in the air, just like making a phone call, which is very convenient.
Well, it's not the same as making a phone call.
Following Lu Ze's trail, Xu Wenshan walked a few hundred meters, climbed down the cliff, and found a cave on the back of the cliff.
Lu Ze's breath disappeared into the hole.
Xu Wenshan jumped into the cave, touched the wall and walked into the cave, the deeper he went, the darker it became. Along the way, there is a rotten smell floating in the cave, and there is a "tick-tock" sound of spiders crawling on the ground from time to time, which seems to be close at hand, which makes people feel cool behind their backs.
After walking for a short time, Xu Wenshan suddenly noticed that there was a bright light in front of him, and there was a stone crack at the top of the cave, and the sunlight penetrated through the stone crack, illuminating the interior of the cave (harmony).
It was a large hollow, covered with moss, stalactite water dripping on stalagmites, and occasional spider silk wrapped eggs on the ground, which seemed to be spider eggs.
On the wall of the cave, there is a tapestry-like spider web, the size of half a basketball court, and there are many spider silk balls on the web, which are wrapped in deer, horses, and people, all of which have become the reserve food of spiders.
Fortunately, Lu Ze was still standing in the middle of the cave, looking like nothing was going on, except for a wriggling ball of spider silk at her feet.
"Where's the spider spirit?"
Lu Ze shook his head: "I disappeared after chasing here, maybe I ran away from that crack." ”
The walls in the cave were too smooth, and Xu Wenshan didn't have long barbed hands, so it was really difficult to climb up, let alone get out of the cracks.
With a look of disgust, Xu Wenshan pointed to the spider silk ball below and asked, "What is this?" ”
Lu Ze said: "The people in here are still alive. ”
Xu Wenshan went to check, and through the thin spider silk, he saw that there was indeed a person inside.
Lu Ze looked up at Xu Wenshan and asked, "What should I do?" ”
The implication is whether to give him a good time.
Xu Wenshan was suddenly a little worried, whether to strengthen Lu Ze's moral education in the future, and said: "Since you have seen it, it is fate, just rescue him." ”
The spider silk was extremely tough, Xu Wenshan peeled it with his hands and cut it with a knife, and it took a lot of effort to make a hole in the spider silk ball, revealing the faces inside.
"Save Me ......"
Trapped in the spider silk ball was a woman.
The woman had obviously been trapped for a long time, her face was pale, and there was not a trace of blood on her lips. It can be seen that her original face was smooth and beautiful, but at this time she looks extremely haggard, and anyone who sees it will feel distressed.
Xu Wenshan did not relax his vigilance, stopped dismantling the spider silk, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The woman said intermittently, "Little woman...... is a person from Xiushui Village, married here, and was kidnapped by gangsters...... was taken captive, and the uncles, uncles, brothers and sisters who sent them to their relatives were all killed......"
Xu Wenshan looked at Lu Ze with an inquiring eye, and Lu Ze shook his head.
Since just now, Xu Wenshan has been perceiving, but he has not found any demonic energy in this woman, and Lu Ze can't sense it.
It stands to reason that the spider spirit will inject venom into the prey, and then hang the prey on the net and wait for the prey to melt slowly. It's not that spiders are cruel, it's because spiders can only suck and can't chew their mouthparts, which is their way of survival.
So after discovering that this woman was still alive, Xu Wenshan did not relax his vigilance for a moment.
Xu Wenshan stared at the woman for a long time, and suddenly "choked" and pulled out the saber on his waist, the blade broke through the wind, and it slashed in front of the tip of the woman's nose in the blink of an eye.
But at this point, the blade seemed to freeze, and it never dropped an inch.
The woman's face turned pale and she said, "You...... What are you doing? ”
Xu Wenshan closed the knife. When the blade slashed down just now, he still didn't perceive any demonic qi fluctuations in the woman's body. If this woman is demonic, the demonic power in her body will spontaneously move no matter what.
The girl understood that Xu Wenshan was testing herself, and bit her lip and said, "You doubt me...... Your heart is so ruthless......"
Xu Wenshan did not show shame, and Lu Ze was not shocked. Lu Ze was originally a monster, and except for Xu Wenshan, he had no sympathy for other humans.
Xu Wenshan asked, "How did you get here?" ”
The girl said, "Those strong men are trying to force me...... Suddenly, I saw a big spider, killed all those strong men, and wrapped them in spider silk...... I was brought here too. ”
What the girl said is basically consistent with Xu Wenshan's previous speculation in the robber's den.
The lobby was very messy before, but there was only a ring-headed knife, and it should be that only the robber leader was there. The other robbers must have gathered in another room, intending to do bad things to the maiden.
Then the spider appeared in the room and put down a group of people, while others fled outside the room and picked up their weapons from the weapon rack, and the spider followed them and killed them anyway.
The leader of the robbers found the spider spirit and stood in front of the door with a knife in his hand. As a result, the spider climbed onto the roof, fell from the roof, and killed the bandit leader.
Then the spider spirit returned to the room, wrapped the girl in spider silk as well, dragged her to the spider cave with the robbers, and then returned to the robbers' den, hiding on the roof of the lobby and waiting for the robbers to enter the urn.
This spider spirit should have known that the robbers were going out to rob half of them today, so they took the opportunity to attack the robbers' village. If you think about it carefully, what a ruthless means, such a sinister and cunning spider spirit!
When he looked at the girl again, Xu Wenshan's eyes were a little more sympathetic.
