Chapter 11: The Ghost Bride Shows the Way
When the two of them heard Zhang Qiao say this, they were stunned for a moment, this was what they didn't expect, it turned out that this hole was actually an illusion. Hou Bin then asked, "Then where should we get out from?" ”
"I can take you out." Zhang Qiao replied.
"Thank you so much." Hou Bin said happily.
The two followed Zhang Qiao and finally came outside. When the two were about to leave, Hou Bin suddenly asked, "Then what should you do?" ”
After being asked this question, Zhang Qiao's expression became a little solemn, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Although I have escaped from the clutches of the Purple Scale Toad King now, I am also a lonely ghost, as for what will happen in the future, I don't know." Speaking of this, Zhang Qiao couldn't suppress his emotions again, and cried and said, "Maybe one day I will be caught by the Purple Scale Toad King again." ”
Hou Bin saw that Zhang Qiao was crying again, so he hurriedly said: "Don't cry, listen to me first, in fact, things are not as pessimistic as you imagined." We came to Hades Mountain this time to run ghosts, and the purpose was to get rid of the Purple Scale Toad King. ”
When Zhang Qiao heard this, he wiped his tears and asked, "You said you came to catch the Purple Scale Toad King?" ”
Hou Bin nodded again and again: "Yes, so it won't be long before you are completely free." ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiao was not happy about this, but asked with a suspicious face: "You two want to catch the Purple Scale Toad King?" ”
"Of course it's not just the two of us, there are five of us. My second uncle is called the ghost marquis, there must be no problem, you can rest assured. Hou Bin said confidently.
Zhang Qiao hesitated for a moment, still looking worried and said to Hou Bin: "Then I also advise you to go back, the Purple Scale Toad King is not as easy to deal with as a ghost." ”
When Hou Bin heard this, he began to wonder in his heart whether he could find out some news about the Purple Scale Toad King from Zhang Qiao. If you can really ask some valuable clues, it can be said that you can get twice the result with half the effort. So Hou Bin asked, "Then no one can deal with this Purple Scale Toad King?" Is it left to reign here? ”
Zhang Qiao thought for a while and said, "I only know that this Purple Scale Toad King is the strongest when it reaches the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and once it reaches the moonless night, it becomes weaker. But even when it's weak, it's hard to deal with. The scales on its body are as hard as iron, and they are very powerful. I'm afraid that even if you come five more, you will die in vain. ”
Getting such a clue has no concept for Hou Bin and the others, but if the second uncle knows, I believe it will be very useful. Hou Bin wanted to ask about other things, but Zhang Qiao only knew this. In the end, the two of them said goodbye to Zhang Qiao and returned all the way back to the foot of the mountain where they settled.
Since they were not sure what the location was when they came out of the cave, the two of them could only rely on their sense of direction to find back. When we got to the place, it was almost dawn. And only Lai Xi was sitting there here, Hou Bin immediately realized that the second uncle and the fifth child must have gone to find them, it seems that this time they have caused trouble. On the first day, everyone arrived in Huaiyang Town, in order to be able to hurry as soon as possible, the second uncle did not choose to stay in Huaiyang Town, but this night because of the two of them, they did not rest well, thinking of this, Hou Bin didn't dare to think about it.
Lai Xi saw that the two of them were back, and hurriedly greeted them, "Ouch, two little ancestors, you two are back." Your second uncle and your fifth uncle have been looking for you for a night. ”
As soon as Hou Bin heard this, his legs were a little weak, and he thought that the second uncle might scold them when he came back later. The two of them sat on the mat dejectedly, waiting for the second uncle to come back and judge them.
At this time, Lai Xi sat next to them and asked Hou Bin: "Where did you two run away this night, did something happen?" ”
As soon as Hou Bin wanted to speak, he heard the voice of someone talking in the distance, and the voice that spoke was the second uncle. As soon as they saw that the second uncle was back, the two of them stood up suddenly, and they were ready to be scolded for a while.
Besides, when the second uncle saw that the two of them had come back, and they were covered with dirt, the second uncle hurriedly came to them, touched their faces with both hands and said, "Where have you two gone, the second uncle is dying in a hurry, is something wrong?" The second uncle said that he found that Hou Bin had five pinched marks on his neck, and knew that this must be in danger.
Hou Bin and the others originally lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to look at the second uncle. As a result, the second uncle not only did not scold them, but cared about them, which made Hou Bin and the others never expect. Hou Bin was so excited at this time that he didn't know what to say, and Gaba didn't say anything for a long time.
The second uncle asked the two of them to sit down, and then the second uncle sat opposite them and asked Hou Bin again what happened last night. Hou Bin told everything he had encountered the night before. After hearing this, the second uncle was sweating. When the second uncle ran ghost work before, he encountered many dangerous moments, and he could even die, but this has never been the case. And the reason why I am so nervous now is because I am worried about Hou Bin and the others, this is the first time they have come out to run ghosts, and before they can wait for anything, they have encountered so many things, in case the two children have three long and two short, not to mention that the parents of the two children are not easy to explain, he himself will not be able to pass this level. After a while, the third uncle's mood stabilized, and no matter what, the two children also came back, and several people began to discuss how to deal with the Purple Scale Toad King.
Hou Bin asked the third uncle at this time: "The weakest time for this Purple Scale Toad King is around the end of the lunar month, today is the 17th, that is, the 18th of June of the lunar calendar, to the moonless night, there are about ten days, so what are we doing during this time?" ”
The second uncle thought for a while and said, "After talking to the old man at that time, I hurried over. This Purple Scale Toad King is not so easy to deal with, we have a lot of preliminary things to do before we do it to the Purple Scale Toad King, to minimize the risk as much as possible. However, this Purple Scale Toad King still has this weakness, I haven't heard of it, it seems that we really need to grasp it, this is a great opportunity. ”
When Hou Bin heard that there was still a lot to do, he continued to ask, "Then what else do we need to do?" ”
The second uncle began to tell everyone about his plans and ideas, which can be regarded as assigning everyone's work.
It turns out that there is still something special needed to deal with this Purple Scale Toad King. These include Nightmare Weeping Nets, Red Heel Blood, and Corpse Rock Grass.
The weeping tendon net is a web woven from the weeping tendons, and this kind of net is not very useful against ghosts. But something like the Purple Scale Toad King that is not a demon or a ghost has a strong binding force. Why is it said that the Purple Scale Toad King is a non-demon and non-ghost thing? It is because the Purple Scale Toad King itself is a body of immortal cultivators, and in a sense, it can also be said that it is a demon. But it borrowed a large number of grievances from unjust souls to cultivate, which made its body full of a large number of ghost things, and finally became neither a demon nor a ghost. At this time, you can't deal with it with the method of subduing the demon, and you can't deal with it with the method of eliminating the demon, which is why the Purple Scale Toad King has been in the Ghost Fang Valley for so many years, but no one is willing to come here, which is a hot potato for the person who runs the ghost.
Let's go back and talk about the nightmare cry, the nightmare cry is a kind of evil thing, growing in the dark and damp places of the cave. The body is in the shape of a snake, and the adult Nightmare Cry is about three times long, about 20 centimeters in diameter, black-gray, with light gray markings on the body, a slightly flattened head, and a mouth of sharp fangs. Nightmare Cry belongs to the group of animals, whether it is foraging or resting, there are more than ten, about twenty gathered together, and the nature is more ferocious. So it's not easy to get the weeping tendons. Because this guy likes to sleep on weekdays, and when he wakes up, he will make a sound like a man crying, so he calls it a nightmare.
The tendons of Nightmare Cry are very flexible, although each tendon is only less than three millimeters thick, but it is very strong. But there are only two tendons in each nightmare's body, so if you want to weave a net, you need a lot of weeping tendons.
Red heel liquid, red heel is also a kind of evil thing, and like the nightmare, it also lives in a dark and damp cave. Its appearance is strange and ugly, a bit like a lizard, but the tail is very short, and the body length of the adult red heel is about one meter five, the whole body is black and gray, and only the feet are red, so it is called the red heel. In addition to preying on other animals and the carrion of animals, the red heel also likes to eat corpse rock grass, so as long as it finds the red heel, it will be considered to have found the corpse rock grass.
The red heel fluid is the blood of the red heel. As for the Corpse Rock Grass, it is a plant that grows in the same place as the Red Heel.
But the weeping is not in the Hades Gate, but a mountain more than ten miles away from the Hades Gate, and that mountain is called the Wild Child Ridge. It is said that some people often meet children in the mountains at night, and as for what the child is, everyone agrees that it is a ghost, so it is named Wild Child Ridge. But that's just everyone's speculation, whether it's a ghost or a monster, this is unknown. And Nightmare Weeping is in a hole in the mountain.
If you want to deal with the Purple Scale Toad King, you have to do these previous jobs first, but why didn't the second uncle go directly to the Wild Child Ridge first, but came to Hades Gate Mountain with these things on his back? Huaiyang Town is in the east of Hades Mountain, and Wild Child Ridge is in the southwest of Hades Mountain, so if the second uncle wants to go to Yezi Mountain, he must pass by Hades Mountain.
The second uncle originally wanted to let Lao Wu and Hou Bin stay in Hades Mountain with the monkeys, and then he and Lai Xi went to Yeziling, but Hou Bin and the others insisted on following the second uncle and didn't want to stay in Hades Mountain. The second uncle thought about it, if after he and Laixi left, these two children were disobedient and ran around, the fifth child didn't like to talk, and he couldn't control them at all, so it was better to take them with him. In the end, after careful consideration, the second uncle agreed to take Hou Bin and the two of them, and let Laixi and the fifth child stay.
After a period of arrangement, it was quite tiring to arrive at dusk on the first day, but everyone didn't sleep all night, and they were already exhausted, so the second uncle asked everyone to simply sleep again, and when they were rested, he took Hou Bin and the monkey to Wild Child Ridge.
