Chapter XXXVII: The Enemy

A few barrels of liquor were quickly poured out of ten by us, and if we hadn't seen the jellyfish disappear with our own eyes, I'm afraid none of us would have imagined that this thing could be so easily dealt with by us.

Hai Dongqing's courage is not comparable to our layman, seeing that the jellyfish disappeared almost, the birdman jumped into the water without saying a word, before we could react, he had already swam over, and seemed to have grabbed something in his hand, before we could see clearly, the big bird raised his hand and threw the thing ashore.

"That's all there is to it." Hai Dongqing wiped his face, swam to the shore, and walked up.

The fat uncle gasped, looked at the transparent tentacles, and shook his head: "Something is wrong, these four (things) are hungry and can't figure it out." ”

Hai Dongqing threw ashore is the only remaining tentacle of the hundred-legged peach blossom, the effect of liquor on this thing is obvious, just by the birdman caught it like this, the surface of the tentacle was partially concave, showing an obvious handprint, if it wasn't for Hai Dongqing's fast speed of throwing this shot, I estimate that this tentacle would have to explode into foam.

Although it is not as powerful as pouring liquor directly, the power of some liquor on your body should not be underestimated.

"I'll go down and look at the slate." Hai Dongqing's expression tightened, as if he had thought of something, and without telling us more, he turned around and jumped into the lake, swimming straight to the stone slab formation at the bottom of the water.

In less than a minute, the birdman returned, and the doubts on his face were even thicker.

"Someone has gone down." Hai Dongqing said, looked up at us, and whispered: "There are traces of passivity below, and"

Halfway through the words, Hai Dongqing sighed: "Fat uncle, go down and take a look for yourself." ”

"Let's go together." I said uneasily, so I took off my shirt and pants, jumped into the shallow water of the lake in a boxer, turned around and waved to them, and motioned for them to hurry up.

The fat uncle reluctantly put down the empty bucket in his hand and hooked his finger at me: "Melon skin, aren't you afraid of the little jellyfish below?" ”

Suddenly, I rushed to the shore at a rocket-like speed, and even the soles of my feet were cold.

"I was not well prepared, and I almost became stupid." I smiled awkwardly, picked up the plastic cup and scooped a glass of liquor into the barrel, and poured it on my body with my hand.

For a while, Hai Dongqing's eyes were full of endless contempt when he looked at me.

After we used up the rest of the liquor, almost three or four minutes passed, and under the scorching sun, Uncle Fat and I suddenly felt that we were going to burn.

"Go underwater." The fat uncle twisted his sturdy body and walked leisurely into the water, yes, he walked into the water.

The depth of the shore is one and a half meters.

If the fat uncle jumps, then he will see a pit at the bottom of the water, and maybe he will have to bend his feet.

He is a smart person and a person who wants to save face, and he definitely doesn't want us to see such an embarrassing scene, so he can only use walking, but he doesn't dare to jump.

"My grass, where are those little jellyfish?!" I swam underwater, carefully observing the scene in the lake left and right, and I didn't see the little jellyfish yesterday for a long time, which made me even more confused.

The facts have told me a lot, for example, after one thing you can't figure out, there are often several things that you can't figure out, at least one of them, and you didn't run!

In the mud and sand at the bottom of the water, a cyan slate about the size of a basketball court faintly reveals its outline.

Most of its surface is still buried in the sand, but there are many places with its heads exposed, and if we look at it, even if we don't get rid of the mud and sand, we can still see some things more or less.

Like the Jiqiantai we saw a few days ago, the ground was full of crooked symbols, but it was obviously more complicated than the array we saw that day.

I can barely see some symbols representing the five elements, and in my eyes, this array is like a book written in the sky, and I really can't understand it.

The content of the array didn't attract me much, and it wasn't the spells carved on the array that sucked my eyes on, but the copper coins scattered on the array, the copper coins that stood up one by one!

The quantity, the general shape of the copper coins placed on the stone slab, and the special shape of the standing ones are completely the same as the vein array arranged by the fat uncle in Ji Qiantai.

Just when I was silently observing the copper coins on the slate, the fat uncle suddenly discovered something, his eyes lit up, and he immediately swam down, with a puzzled expression on his face.

I saw the fat uncle gently buckle the slate with his hand, and suddenly, a small piece of stone slag fell into his hand, which shows that the quality of the slate is not good, and the fat uncle didn't work hard at all

Immediately, the fat uncle beckoned to us and swam towards the lake first.

"Come ashore, it's been processed here." The fat uncle said with a dark face.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

The fat uncle smiled bitterly and handed me the stone and said, "You smell it." ”

I didn't think much about it, took the stone, casually leaned in front of my nose, and wrinkled my nose: "It smells of wine." ”

"Shangqi Society (go and say)." The fat uncle turned and swam to the shore without saying anything more.

When he arrived on the shore, the fat uncle got dressed, took out the cigarette case with an ugly face, lit it and smoked it himself, and didn't speak for a while.

In just a minute or two, the fat uncle's cigarette ignited to the cigarette holder, and he didn't care, he still smoked until he burned his fingers.

"That's four (is) trapping a hundred-foot peach blossom drop thing." The fat uncle looked at the gray stone in my hand and pointed to it: "Gray beard (chang's fourth sound), the legend is dripping stones, and the first time I saw this thing when I was hungry." ”

(Note: 鬯 refers to a kind of wine used for sacrifice in ancient times, which is said to be made of black millet brewed with tulip grass, and is mostly used to worship gods, or used for state banquets, and is a famous ancient wine.) )

In Uncle Fat's explanation, the gray beard is the name of a special stone, and in some of the wild history classics he has read, the gray beard has a lot of appearance rate.

It's just that it's not a righteous "character", and it appears in the book, and it's basically a "villain" role.

"Put people and animals in the fight, burn them with real fire, turn the fire into ashes, pour them up, and bless them with curses, and the ashes can be done."

This sentence is what Uncle Fat said when he explained to us the process of making the gray beard, although he didn't say the details, but I can tell how this thing came out.

Maybe my own translation is not standard, but that's probably what it means.

First of all, it is necessary to combine people (they are living people, as the fat uncle said himself) with animals (they should be cultivated animals, such as the weasel who was on Zhang Qinghai's body at the beginning. They are placed on a fire, and then burned with real fire (a fire fueled by mahogany or charms), and when the fire is almost extinguished, the beast and man are reduced to ashes.

After doing this, the caster then douses the ashes of the beasts and humans with special wine, and reiterates the mantra, and the ashes are completed.

This thing has never appeared in people's sight in the open, it has always only existed in legends, in ancient records, perhaps because the role of this thing is more special, and it is also very chicken, and there are very few people who have used it in historical records.

"If you press a part of the animal's true body under the gray beard, the beast will not be able to leave the gray beard." The fat uncle kept gesturing with his hands and said: "The gray beard is 10,000 catties for the unjust people to come to the society (said), and he can't move it, so he will only move the four societies (say)"

"It can only be arrogant within ten zhang of the stone slab, and it can't escape, right?" I asked, and the fat uncle nodded yes.

"You have to eat like a living animal, so you can't starve to death?" I'm puzzled again.

The fat uncle carefully observed the stone in his hand, and said without raising his head: "If it is pressed by the gray beard, it will enter a special drop of "hibernation period". ”

"The gray beard suppresses the unjust beasts, collectively known as the sins of the gray beard, which is said to live for thousands of years, of course, these four (are) based on the premise of animal hibernation."

Hai Dongqing suddenly asked, "Didn't that person say it?" This jellyfish will live for six months, and its body will be about the size of ten water tanks, but the monster we see is obviously not that big, could this be the effect of hibernation? ”

The fat uncle nodded and said, it should be.

Why would you say this kind of thing, in fact, this has something to do with the brains of the ancients.

Most warlocks' first reaction when they hear about this technique is, "What the hell is this?" The magic that hurts the heavens and reason can't even be completely suppressed by a beast, so it's used for a fart?! ”

During the period of the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Taoism gradually grew, and most of the warlocks' brains were not so dead, and the first reaction after hearing this spell was to laugh: "This is the treasure of the cemetery anti-theft!" ”

It's just that when they think about it, they give up on it again.

If someone enters the ancient tomb and meets the beast under the gray beard, and then pulls his legs and runs away, isn't this gray sin stupid? How long can you live if you wake up and haven't eaten?

Compared with the anti-theft spell similar to the Golden Shroud, etc., the gray beard that is a disposable product is indeed garbage.

Not only is the process of casting the spell hurtful, but after the spell is completed, the caster will have to lose his life, and the things he makes are not as awesome as he imagined, who wants to engage in this thing?

"When I first saw this stone, I thought it wasn't an ordinary drop thing, it turned out that it really had a history." The fat uncle smiled bitterly and smoked a cigarette, stood up and patted his buttocks: "Let's go, hungry people go home, go back to Guiyang, don't take that thing." ”

I was stunned and didn't react.

"Back to Guiyang? Why don't you take that thing? Hai Dongqing frowned and asked, "Fat uncle, are you afraid of that person?" ”

"Who is that person?" I watched them play dumb riddles in confusion, and my brain felt like it was knotted.

The fat uncle pointed to the lake: "Use the Pulse Array to suppress the Nine Gang Bureau Formation and drop people, and the four (is) hungry people drop the enemy." ”

"The old man from yesterday." Hai Dongqing reminded me.

"What do you mean" I didn't finish my sentence, but only halfway through it, with a face full of disbelief.

The fat uncle sighed significantly more often than before, and sighed one after another: "There are high-ranking people eyeing the hungry, it should be four (yes) the well-informed old man yesterday." ”

I didn't speak, silently remembered.

That old man is really wrong, but there is no reason to say that he is a master. He shouldn't be stealing the baby from us! He didn't know that the array under the road was related to the baby!

"Why is everything so coincidental?" Hai Dongqing said: "Even if he is an ordinary master, then it shouldn't be so coincidental, come here to travel, happen to fish and catch us, happen to meet us, and then happen to be well-informed to recognize the hundred-foot peach blossom, it happens that the next day the array was suppressed, don't you think it's a coincidence?" ”

I'm grass, and he is so little, I really seem to have the feeling that the old man is a treasure robber.

Seeing that the fat uncle was urging us to call the boatman to come and pick us up, I thought about it for a while and immediately made up my mind.

"We can't go." I frowned and repeated, "Can't go." ”

"That thing was born by Uncle Fat Master, and died by Master Fat Uncle, we all finally got here, no matter if it was the BOSS or Cheng Biting Jin who came out halfway, if you want to grab something from us, then let him try." I gritted my teeth and said, "No matter how awesome he is, how awesome can he be compared to the evil of the gloom?" None of us died at the hands of the Yin Sin, and we're still afraid of him being an old man?! ”

Hai Dongqing nodded and said, if you have the courage to grab it, he will try it.
