Chapter 24: Fierce Battle
The monk wanted to charge his gunpowder gun, but several ghosts, monkeys and tigers looked at him and didn't give him a chance at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć In desperation, he only took out a handful of catalpa from his backpack, and the monk had mentioned that this is called Luoyang shovel, which is dedicated to inverted buckets.
The shovel is foldable, lightweight and sharp, and has always been a monk's second self-defense weapon.
The fifth uncle held a military dagger in his hand, moved without a trace, and finally stood in front of me and blocked me behind him. Even Uncle Li actually took out a smuggling pistol in his hand.
I was empty-handed, trying to pick up a stone from the ground to defend myself, but the place was flat, and all the dead branches and leaves were piled up. Just as I was hesitating, Chu Chu on the side actually handed me the gun in her hand, I took it and took it stupidly.
The pistol is slightly heavy, and it is completely different from the toy pistols I saw when I was a child.
Chu Chu squatted on the ground and took out a dagger from his calf, the dagger was small and bright. Thinking that I am a man, I am still protected by a woman, and my face will inevitably turn red. Hesitantly, he handed the gun back to Chu Chu and said, "Why don't you still use the gun?" ā
Chu Chu glanced at the gun in my hand, and said coldly: "The safety has been opened, the gun is loaded, and there are still seven bullets in the magazine, you just need to pull the trigger on the ghost monkey." ā
To be honest, this is the first time I've touched a gun, and I really don't know how to use it. I'm an ordinary and honest college student, unless I go to the army, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to touch these contraband in my life.
I embarrassedly withdrew my gun and scolded myself for not being productive. But now is not the time to think about this, you have to quickly escape from the ghost monkeys.
The ghost monkeys are like starving ghosts, hungry and hungry, with red eyes and drooling. Seeing us retreat and take out our weapons, we were even more angry.
They all of a sudden, as if they had made an appointment, swarmed at us at the same time. For a while, we were in a mess, and the scene was much more chaotic and chaotic. We sat in a circle, back to back, and the range was forced to shrink smaller and smaller.
The ghost monkeys are very smart, they try to disperse us, they even use the art of war, constantly consume our physical strength, and more and more ghost monkeys crawl out of the stone eggs. Now we are besieged by a dozen ghost monkeys, and we can barely hold on, if there are dozens of them, we are afraid that we will be wiped out.
Seeing that they could not attack for a long time, the ghost monkey began to charge at us desperately, like arrows, even if they were lucky enough to hit them, it would be useless. But once we get hit, let alone hurt the shin. After a tumbling collision, the seven of us were scattered into two groups by the ghost monkeys, and the monk and Ah Tai were knocked out of the team, surrounded by several ghost monkeys.
The two of them were the most embarrassed, and they had been standing at the front of our group, blocking most of the ghost monkey attacks. Now it's a few meters away from us, but fortunately, both of them are skilled, rolling left and right, and can barely hold on. Although the clothes behind Ah Tai were scratched by the ghost monkey, fortunately he did not hurt his body.
We wanted to go over and join them, but it was also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and we couldn't spare our hands at all, so we were really powerless.
If it weren't for the fifth uncle standing in front of me, I am afraid that I would have been torn apart by these ghost monkeys at this moment. I clutched the gun in both hands, and so far, I haven't even had a chance to shoot. The main reason is that these ghost monkeys are too fast, I can't aim at all, and I only instinctively dodge.
Suddenly, a ghost monkey came out of the ground at my feet, grabbed my trouser leg tightly, opened its mouth, and showed a row of fangs, which were about to bite at my leg.
I was shocked, these ghost monkeys are so smart, and they have learned to escape in such a short time, which is really unguardable.
I hurriedly pulled the trigger and fired two shots at the ghost monkey, but the bullets hit the ground, and I was sweating profusely and I didn't know what to do.
Seeing that I was about to be bitten, I shook my leg vigorously and tried to get rid of the ghost monkey. The hateful thing is that this ghost monkey has clenched so tightly that its claws have already scratched my thighs and penetrated deep into the flesh, and the pain is terrible, and my tears are about to flow out. No matter how much I shake it, I can't shake off the ghost monkey on my leg.
Just as I was about to despair, a white light flashed quickly, and the ghost monkey's head fell to the ground in an instant. Only then did I react, it turned out that Chu Chu saved me at the critical moment. I wanted to say thank you, but Chu Chu had already turned around.
I've seen Chu Chu's skills a long time ago, but every time I am dumbfounded, why is this woman so powerful, what the hell is she doing. Indifferent, quiet, like a killer.
Looking at the head of the ghost monkey on the ground, it was extremely hideous, and soon turned into a puddle of black silt. And the ghost monkey on my lap, although it had no head, still grabbed me, and it took half a day to finally get rid of it.
My thigh had been scratched, the scars were deep, and the blood was flowing. But I knew that this was not the time to treat our wounds, and that there were more ghost monkeys around us eyeing us.
Several of us were wounded, but luckily none of them were hurt. Although the ghost monkeys were powerful, there were still a few lying on the ground, and they were already dead, and the corpses quickly decomposed into mud.
The monk slashed a ghost monkey that pounced on him in half, his hands were in a hurry, and he shouted loudly to the fifth uncle: "Senior brother, think of a way!" If this continues, I really have to explain here, and now I don't want to see Master Zu. ā
The fifth uncle frowned and pondered for a moment, then pointed to our backpack and said, "Fire, mandrills are afraid of fire, even if they become ghost monkeys, they should still be afraid of fire." ā
We dodged the monkeys and quickly flipped up the backpack, which was the first time I had opened the backpack I had been carrying. It's full of props used by Taoist priests, and I've seen them in general, but none of them are famous, and I don't know what they're used for. After rummaging for a long time, I didn't find any firearms in my bag.
"There you have it."
Ah Tai took out a bottle of flamethrower in his hand, and quickly spewed out a fire dragon at the group of ghost monkeys, sparks flew everywhere, burning a raging fire, several ghost monkeys were burned, rolling on the ground, letting out a terrifying scream, between breaths, there was no movement at all.
For a while, the ghost monkeys were frightened and temporarily retreated, but they had no intention of evacuating, and still surrounded us in the middle, just far away from us, and the ghost monkeys stared at the flamethrower in Atai's hand with fear.
Even so, it gave us a little time to catch our breath.
The monk threw away the Luoyang shovel in his hand, grabbed the flamethrower in Atai's hand, and nagged in his mouth: "There is such a good weapon, if you don't take it out earlier, the harmful Daoist Lord almost saw the ancestral master." ā
Ah Tai reminded the monk in a low voice: "This is what we are going to use to prevent snakes, you can save a little, only two liters, and you can't spray a few times." ā
Uncle Li and the others have been looking for ancient corpses all year round, and there are often snakes in the ancient tombs, but they have suffered enough. In order to prevent such a situation, it is necessary to bring a flamethrower. The main thing is that the flamethrower can also be used to incinerate ancient corpses that are about to turn into corpses.
Although the flamethrower is powerful, it is not convenient to carry and is easy to explode, so there are relatively few of them.
"Boom..."
There was a sudden tremor on the ground, and the leaves of the banyan tree were like snowflakes, falling densely and flying all over the sky. There was a dull crash that froze us all in place.
The monk looked around and asked, "Where did this sound come from?" ā
"Boom..."
Another crash was heard, and this time we all figured out the source. They all looked at the trunk of the thick banyan tree, and at the same time, a bad thought rose in their hearts.
Uncle Li frowned, his face showed pain, it seemed that he had been injured just now, he looked at the fifth uncle and asked, "Aren't these ghost monkeys raised by the human scab technique?" ā
The fifth uncle shook his head and replied, "I don't know very well, but it seems that these ghost monkeys are just guardians, and the real Lord should be in this trunk." ā
"Could it be that there will be red-haired corpses here?" The monk subconsciously put his hand into his arms, took out a few pieces of rune paper, and pinched them tightly.
I looked at the monk's actions and asked inexplicably, "What is a red-haired corpse?" ā
The monk gave me a blank look and said, "Zombie! You've probably heard of this. ā
I did hear of zombies, and they all appeared in Grandpa's stories. But when people die like lights going out, can there really be such a thing as zombies? Although I didn't believe it, I was very scared and curious at the moment, what kind of monster was hitting inside the trunk, and it seemed to want to break free.
When the monk saw that I didn't believe me, he said to me, "Scholar, don't believe me, I can see a lot of Taoism." Let's just say that a few zombies were unearthed in Sichuan last year, and as soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation across the country. ā
I looked at the monk stupidly, with a blank expression, when did Sichuan have zombies again, and it caused a sensation across the country? How I don't know.
"Humph! There are many things you don't know, it's just a few ordinary zombies, I look at the lord in this trunk, tsk..."The monk pointed to the trunk of the banyan tree, shook his head and said: "It's not easy to mess with, if you really let it escape, the result will be difficult to say." ā
"Stand back."
The fifth uncle motioned for us to be quiet, opened the small package he had been carrying, and took out a piece of talisman paper from it. Two fingers pinched lightly, there were words in his mouth, and finally he shook his hand at the banyan tree. The fluttering rune paper was thrown directly and firmly attached to the trunk of the tree.
"Huh..."The fifth uncle's method of throwing talisman paper amazed me.
The fifth uncle was afraid that he was five or six meters away from the trunk of the tree, and he was able to throw a piece of weightless paper over and paste it, regardless of whether the rune paper tube was useless or not, he threw the rune paper, and he really couldn't practice it in a few years.
The rune paper was pasted on the trunk, the fifth uncle closed his eyes and pinched his fingers, and read the words slightly in his mouth, I was confused, I didn't know what the fifth uncle was playing again.
On the one hand, we have to guard against the ghost monkeys around us, for fear that they will sneak attack. At the same time, he looked at the fifth uncle, waiting for him to do something, and for a while, the whole scene suddenly quieted down.
