Chapter 21: The First Exploration of the Toad King's Den
Several people sat around, and the second uncle was silently wiping the blood stains left on it by the slashing red foot before. Several people looked at the expression of the second uncle, as if the second uncle was thinking something, but no one dared to ask. After a while, the second uncle said with a solemn face: "This ghost work is different from the past, almost no one who does our business dares to run the work of the ghost valley." Speaking of this, the second uncle sighed and continued: "Although we have obtained the Nightmare Crying Muscle Net and the Red Heel Blood, there is no guarantee that we will be able to deal with the Purple Scale Toad King. So let's ...... this time" Before the second uncle finished speaking, the fifth old, who had always been silent, interrupted the second uncle's words and said, "Second master, you don't need to say it, I know what you mean." It's not the first time I've been running ghost work with Laixi. Since we are eating this line of food, we have to take this risk. And with you, the second master, we are down-to-earth. ”
The fifth child knew that the second uncle had concerns in his heart at this time, and at this time, Lai Xi also said next to him: "As the so-called success is taken in detail, wealth and danger are sought, second master, don't think about it." ”
The second uncle looked at the fifth and Laixi, and said with an embarrassed face: "It's just that this time this job was a little reckless, at that time, the old man came from all the way from the city, just to let me take this job, otherwise I will ......" The second uncle said this, sighed and did not continue. He knew that Lao Wu and Laixi listened to him for everything, and although Laixi might sometimes cause some trouble, he hadn't made any serious mistakes.
A few people chatted for a while, although the risk this time was very high, but they had already come to this point, and it was impossible to turn back, so the second uncle simply arranged it.
At night, the second uncle and a few people came to the cave on the north side of the Ghost Fang Valley, that is, the cave of the Purple Scale Toad King. The second uncle took out seven candles from his bag, which were dark red and covered with some spots. The second uncle then handed these candles to the fifth child, "Put these candles near the entrance of the cave, in the shape of the Big Dipper." ”
At this time, Hou Bin immediately came over and asked, "Second uncle, what's the use of this candle?" ”
The second uncle said while flipping through the package: "This is called the Seven Star Fire Candle, use it to place the formation of the Big Dipper at the entrance of the cave, you can lock the resentment in the cave." Speaking of this, the second uncle looked up at the cave of the Purple Scale Toad King, and continued: "The resentment in this cave is not ordinary. We must lure the Purple Scale Toad King out and let go of the resentment on its body, and then the resentment in the cave will be sealed by us and cannot come out, so that its strength will be greatly reduced, and it will be easy to deal with at that time. ”
Hearing this, Hou Bin's originally nervous mood suddenly relaxed, "It turns out that it's so simple, isn't this Purple Scale Toad King so difficult to deal with?" ”
The second uncle turned around, looked at Hou Bin and smiled bitterly and said, "What? It's that simple? Do you think the Purple Scale Toad King will lie there and let you do whatever you want? It's not that simple to let go of its resentment. After that, the second uncle continued to look down for something.
It seems that the fifth child is still familiar with this aspect, and in less than a while, he placed all the seven-star fire candles near the entrance of the cave, and ran back to the second uncle and said: "Second master, the candles have been set up according to your instructions, what are we going to do next?" ”
The second uncle nodded, and then called a few people over, and said to everyone: "A few of you are guarding outside, and after I go into the cave to lure the Purple Scale Toad King out, you quickly light the Seven Star Fire Candle, find an opportunity to use the Nightmare Crying Muscle Net to net the Purple Scale Toad King, and then pour the red foot blood on the Purple Scale Toad King's body, so that its resentment will be released, so that the Purple Scale Toad King will be easy to deal with." ”
When the fifth brother heard that the second uncle wanted to enter the cave by himself, he immediately said: "Second master, it's too dangerous for you to go in by yourself, let Laixi and the two children be outside, and I will go in with you, and we can take care of each other." ”
The second uncle patted the fifth child on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Don't worry, fifth brother, I am still sure." Speaking of which, the second uncle picked up the pair of evil lovers, kept a handful for himself, and handed it to the fifth child, "This one is left to you." Remember, no matter what the situation is, you must never be separated, and you must be together. The second uncle paused, looked back at the direction of the cave entrance, and then turned back to a few people and said, "If I don't come out for a long time, don't go in to find me, and leave here immediately." ”
When several people heard the second uncle say this, they all gathered around. Hou Bin's reaction was the greatest, and he went up and grabbed the second uncle's hand and said, "Second uncle, what do you mean by this?" We're going to walk together. There were five of us when we came, and five of us when we left. ”
The second uncle laughed when he heard this, "Hahaha...... I'm just saying that if I can't get out, I'm going to prepare for the worst. Don't worry, the second uncle just said it casually. After the second uncle finished speaking, he hugged Hou Bin tightly.
The second uncle said that he was sure, but in fact, he was muttering in his heart. When he went to the Weeping Cave and the Red Heel Cave before, he dared to take Hou Bin and the monkey, Hou Bin and the monkey had never been in contact with these things before, and they might not be able to help if they went. But the reason why the second uncle was willing to take them there was because although the second uncle had never been there, with his own previous experience, he could also guess the general situation and environment in the cave, and if something happened, he could handle it. And this time I went to the cave of the Purple Scale Toad King, what was the situation inside, and what things would happen after entering, the second uncle also knew nothing, he didn't dare to take anyone in, so he finally said something like that, that sentence was not a sentence blurted out by the second uncle without going through his brain.
In the end, several people failed to convince the second uncle, and they all stayed outside the cave, and the second uncle walked into the cave alone.
With the light of a torch, the second uncle was very cautious with every step, and the cave was still relatively spacious. After walking for a while, the second uncle vaguely saw some green and shining fires, and some wailing voices came, which felt really terrifying. However, this has no effect on the second uncle, because it is also expected that such a situation can appear in this cave.
The second uncle still walked forward cautiously, thinking about what the Purple Scale Toad King was like. The second uncle's understanding of the Purple Scale Toad King was not only talked about by Hou Bin's grandfather, but also some records in the "Chronicles of the Underworld", which were all written descriptions or oral descriptions, and there were not even pictures. What will happen if you meet the Purple Scale Toad King for a while, and how to lure it out of the hole, the second uncle was thinking about these questions as he walked.
Just when the second uncle was pondering these things, suddenly the second uncle's foot was grabbed by something. If the monkey and Hou Bin encountered this situation in this cave, they would have to be scared half to death. At this time, although the second uncle was a little nervous, he quickly came back to his senses, and he knew that in this kind of place, when he encountered this situation, some ghosts must be doing something.
The earth ghost is one of the various ghosts, usually this kind of ghost is buried alive before death, this way of death is obviously unjustly killed, after death must be turned into a ghost. And these unjust souls usually don't have too strong consciousness, and only have one idea, that is, they want to crawl out of the soil and grab a stand-in to resolve their own grievances, so they can be reincarnated, so once they find something, they will desperately want to catch it.
The second uncle subconsciously shone a torch and saw a gray hand grabbing his foot and neck. The hand looked gray, skinny with no bones left. At the same time, the second uncle suddenly found that in other places, some hands were stretched out one after another, accompanied by the sound of wailing.
However, the second uncle was not frightened by these arms with teeth and claws, but just casually took the top of the evil spirit and put it on the hand that grabbed the second uncle's foot and neck, and before the evil spirit touched the hand, the hand suddenly let go and retracted. The power of dealing with this kind of thing is indeed very great, so the second uncle didn't take these things to heart at all. Then the other outstretched arms also retracted one after another.
The second uncle looked around and was about to go inside, but found that there was a fire in the direction of the cave entrance behind. The second uncle felt very strange, how could there be a fire, could it be that someone came in? After a while, the firelight got closer and closer, and it turned out that Hou Bin chased after him with a torch in one hand and a tiger whip in the other.
Seeing this, the second uncle hurriedly asked, "Why did you come in, didn't I let you guard outside?" ”
"Second uncle, I don't worry about you coming in alone, I want to go with you." It turned out that when he was outside the cave, the words that the second uncle said when he left made Hou Bin feel at ease. Seeing that when the second uncle walked into the cave alone, Hou Bin felt unspeakably uncomfortable, and at that moment he decided that he must go with the second uncle. Although he knew that he was chasing, the second uncle would definitely scold him, but he didn't care about this now, and finally said hello to the fifth child and came in. Although Lao Wu and Lai Xi have repeatedly blocked them, where will Hou Bin listen to them, his relationship with the second uncle is no less than his father's relationship.
"Why do you think you're so disobedient? Do you know how dangerous it is in this cave, maybe something will happen, let alone take care of you, even I will not be able to protect myself. Go, get out of here. After that, the second uncle pushed Hou Bin and wanted Hou Bin to go out.
didn't expect that Hou Bin would be stubborn, "Second uncle, I can take care of myself, but I have also been to the Nightmare Crying Cave and the Red Heel Cave, I don't care if you let me follow me or not, I will definitely not go out." Although Hou Bin is usually not very obedient, if the second uncle really tells him something seriously, he will still listen. But this time, Hou Bin was the eighth king to eat the scales, and he was determined to follow the second uncle, and the second uncle didn't resist him in the end, so he took Hou Bin and continued to move forward.
