Chapter 15 "The Trap"

Che Ming looked at the cave in front of him: "Old Dao, monkey, which cave should we go into?" ”

Lao Dao looked at the cave without thinking: "It's the same everywhere, this must be a labyrinth!" Let's go, everyone remember, don't fall behind, it's very complicated, the monkey takes the head, my palace, the three of you are in the middle, let's go! ”

The monkey didn't say a word, he picked up his equipment bag and walked into the nearest cave with a military machete in his hand, Che Ming and others hurriedly followed, Lao Dao walked at the end, and the group walked into the cave. The cave is extremely dark, the monkey illuminates the whole cave with a torch prepared in advance, the inside of the cave is very smooth, it is artificially polished at a glance, it is obvious that it is not a product of thousands of years ago, it seems that this is really a trap, the monkey moves forward slowly, carefully observes the surrounding environment, walks into the cave in less than five minutes and there are three forks in front of everyone, the monkey does not care about casually walking into the middle of the cave, the monkey just walked a few steps and stopped: "I stepped on the mechanism, if I guessed correctly, the back road is gone, Something will definitely seal off the road, so be careful. After speaking, he continued to walk, and sure enough, within a few steps, a rumbling sound came, and a boulder fell from the cave behind everyone, just blocking the entrance of the cave, and the old Tao looked at the blocked road: "Let's go, no matter what is in front of you, you can only break through!" When the monkey heard this, he continued to walk forward, the cave was getting smaller and smaller, and he could no longer walk side by side, so the monkey handed the torch to Che Ming: "You hold the torch, I have to see if there is any other mechanism in front of me." Che Ming received the torch, looked around, full of seriousness, the monkey took out a thing from the bag behind his back, and tinkered with it there, Che Ming asked curiously: "Monkey, what is this?" The monkey didn't look back: "This is called an iron hoof, which is used to explore the road, one end is a piece of pig iron, and the other side is a telescopic rod, and the end with iron is used to explore the road, which is similar to the thing that a sapper clears mines." After speaking, he began to knock on the side of the road and the stone walls on both sides in front of him with iron hooves, and instructed everyone: "Squat down, be careful of any hidden weapons!" I don't know if the monkey's mouth is a crow's mouth, just finished speaking, a jingling sound came, a lot of small short arrows shot out on both sides of the stone wall, fortunately the monkey reminded everyone to squat, otherwise it must have become a sieve, after the hidden weapon came out, the monkey hurriedly shouted: "Lie down, it's not over?" Che Ming was just about to stand up and hurriedly lay on the ground when he heard this, and another wave of hidden weapons came out, if everyone was still squatting, they would definitely be headshot! After a while, Che Ming heard the monkey say, "You can get up, let's go" Che Ming pulled Jin Shan to stand up, and at this time, the monkey didn't need iron hooves, and strode directly away. Che Ming asked brainlessly: "Why don't you explore the way, what if there is danger?" "The monkey looked at Che Ming, and his eyes were like looking at a fool!" With so many hidden weapons launched on both sides, is there a possibility that there are other hidden weapons installed somewhere? When I can't see the hidden weapon in front of me, I'll continue to explore the way, and now it's okay, let's go! Che Ming smiled embarrassedly, Jin Shan and Wu Yan were also helpless, and the whole suppressed anger was also alleviated, but Lao Dao frowned and made up for what he was thinking. This crossing comes to the end, and there are no hidden weapons and mechanisms, but there are indeed many forks in the road, and there will be stones to close the road after the fork in the road, Che Ming looked at the watch: "Monkey, rest down." It's been a long time, didn't you say there are a lot of institutions here? Why did you find a hidden weapon by now? Rao is monkey's physical strength is amazing, holding several kilograms of iron hooves in his hand and still having a high degree of concentration, and now he is also panting: "Take a break!" I don't know what's going on, I know a little bit, it's only a matter of time to get out of the cave. "This road is quite loose, five people sit together to rest, calculate the time and walk for most of the day, from the morning to now, it is estimated that it is already afternoon, everyone began to gnaw dry food to replenish physical strength, Che Ming looked left and right: "Why don't you speak?" Let's chat, how boring it is! The monkey looked at Che Ming and cried and laughed: "Big brother, we're not here to play, there are many crises here, chatting will be distracting, if you are willing to talk, let's talk casually after we go out!" The monkey was willing to take care of Che Ming, Wu Yan and Jin Shanli ignored it, and Lao Dao's frowning brows finally dispersed: "I know how to get out, I finally figured out this cave." The monkey didn't seem to be surprised that he had long known that Lao Dao could find the way, but Wu Yan and Che Ming were not so calm: "How to go?" Let's talk about it. Lao Dao looked at everyone: "The builder of this cave is a master, now the Taoist law is declining, no one wants to learn, the principle of this cave construction is according to Qimen Dunjia, I won't talk about the principle, you don't understand, let me say it simply, let's think from the beginning, the first hole, and then see three forks in the road, we have always been two, and three appeared, it seems to be irregular, but in fact there is a rule, I am sure out of this intersection, there will be no road ahead, and then it will be blocked here, Fortunately, there is me, see I broke this game, monkey this time you walk at the end, after the four of us go out, there will still be a road sealing stone falling, so that you will be blocked outside, and then there will be a mechanism to appear, we have walked for so long without touching the mechanism is our luck, closely followed, each road sealing stone will have a mechanism after it falls, but we all came out together, so I didn't touch the mechanism, so monkey you are the most dangerous, I have seven cinnabar charms here, if it is a mechanism that appears in a while, I believe you will be able to solve it, If there is something else, you can hold on for a while with this talisman, we will get this road sealing stone open as soon as possible, and come here to save you, and then there will definitely be a new fork in the road, we only need to go all the way through, it should be the six major passes and go out, and the location where we appear should be the tomb of the descendants. Che Ming and Jin Shan both looked confused, and the old man sighed: "Monkey, do you understand?" The monkey nodded. You understand, you three go with me, get out of this hole, monkey this is a talisman, you keep it, you must hold on. After Lao Dao finished speaking, he hurriedly took Che Ming and the three of them away, and the monkey lay on the ground and listened to the sound, and after a while, a low voice came into the monkey's ears. The monkey thought to himself: "Grandma, Lao Tzu has fought hard, such a mechanism is strong enough, let's see if I can break through!" Lao Dao took Che Ming and the three of them out and there was no way, Lao Dao looked at Che Ming: "Make a hole in this stone, let's go in and save the monkey." Che Ming looked at Lao Dao and didn't speak, knowing that this was not the time to chat, he used tools to start drilling holes in the stones, Wu Yan and Jin Shan also began to help, and the three of them drilled holes in the stones according to the position drawn by Wu Yan.

The monkey looked around and found that nothing appeared, could it be that the old way miscalculated? If there is no mechanism, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be? It's too dark here, let's make it light first, the monkey thought to himself, took out the flare from the bag behind him, hit the stone walls on both sides of the passage, the soft light shone in the passage, and the things in the passage also appeared, the monkey was dumbfounded, surrounded by dense little black bugs, the monkey didn't know at all, this kind of thing didn't make a sound at all, and it did move towards the monkey little by little, the monkey looked at his hair and thought: "Fortunately, Lao Tzu got a flare, otherwise he wouldn't know how to die." "The monkey took out the fire fold from the bag and still had it on the bug, trying to see if this bug was afraid of fire, obviously the bug was not afraid, and the fire fold was quickly destroyed by the bug, but the bug didn't do anything at all, and still moved slowly towards the monkey, but the speed was very slow.

Che Ming and the three of them finally put the gunpowder on the road sealing stone, and just about to detonate it, Lao Dao grabbed Che Ming: "Wait, you have to prepare." Lao Dao took out a small bottle from his bag and drew it on the stone with his fingers, Che Ming and the three of them couldn't understand it at all, but the three of them knew that Lao Dao must have a reason to do this, and they didn't stop it.

The monkey in the passage was sweating profusely, and the insects were getting closer and closer to him, but the monkey had no way at all, and suddenly the monkey remembered the old way's talisman, and hurriedly surrounded the talisman around him, okay, if it doesn't work, you have to die, Lao Dao, you can be pitted brother, or I will curse you for impotence. The monkey thought viciously, and soon the insects climbed on top of the charm, which is also strange, the insects that climbed on the top of the charm actually spontaneously combusted, and a small circle of fire composed of insects appeared next to Lao Dao, and countless insects continued to crawl over, and the monkey watched the charm become smaller little by little, and his heart began to be extremely nervous, at this time there were so many insects around, if Fu was gone, he would die, and the monkey looked at Fu and began to pray that Lao Dao would come over quickly.

Lao Dao finally finished painting on the road sealing stone, in Che Ming's eyes, this is a mess of graffiti, Che Ming didn't ask Lao Dao what this was, and Lao Dao didn't say. "Old Dao, are you done? When I was done, I started to detonate. Lao Dao nodded and retreated, Jin Shan and Wu Yan also left a little, Che Ming ignited the gunpowder in front of him and hurriedly left, the gunpowder burned quickly, a low bang came, the stone was really broken, Lao Dao walked over and kicked the road sealing stone open, a circle appeared on the road sealing stone, Lao Dao went over to touch it, and pulled out a huge insect, someone's head is big, the whole body is a dark shell, there is no leg, and there is a big mouth on the head, but now it is motionless, Che Ming couldn't help but ask Lao Dao:" What is this? How could it be in the stone? Could it be a fossil? Lao Dao shook his head and explained: "This thing is called pubic lice, it moves very slowly, but it will suck blood, if it gets into the human body, it will die in less than a day, this must be the king of pubic lice, I guess the monkey has also encountered this thing inside, you think, there is no way here, according to normal people's thinking, it must be to turn around and open the road sealing stone, so there must be something in the stone, so I use cinnabar mixed with black dog blood to temporarily stun it, and I have to rely on it to save the monkey, okay, hurry in." The monkey probably won't last long. After saying that, Lao Dao entered the passage with pubic lice in one hand, and Che Ming and the three of them also followed Lao Dao and began to walk. Sure enough, as Lao Dao expected, there were dense pubic lice inside, and Lao Dao took the pubic lice king and walked inside, and all the pubic lice along the road avoided it, as if Lao Dao was his own king. Lao Dao saw the monkey's flare and the pubic lice from a distance, and hurriedly ran to the monkey with the pubic lice, and the monkey also saw the old Dao, and finally put his mind at ease, and made a butt on the ground, the monkey sat on the ground panting and watched Lao Dao get closer and closer to himself, and said weakly: "You guys are not coming, Lao Tzu is really hanging, I don't know what insects are, it's too evil, I can't kill at all, I'm not afraid of anything." Lao Dao looked cold, and did not talk to the monkey, took the pubic lice king to disperse all the pubic lice, and quickly took the monkey to retreat, everyone retreated to the edge of the road sealing stone, Lao Dao took out a bottle and threw it at the group of pubic lice, I don't know what it was, the strong smell came out, Lao Dao hurriedly threw a fire fold, boom, the fire soared into the sky, the front was like a group of fire, all the pubic lice were shrouded in it, and were burned to ashes, Lao Dao threw the pubic lice king over, and the fire burned for a long time, Finally, all the pubic lice were burned to death, Lao Dao took everyone back the same way, and sure enough, there was a hole in the place where there was no road, Lao Dao took the lead in taking everyone to jump in, all the way fast, and the monkey also relieved himself and asked Lao Dao: "Lao Dao, I burned the pubic lice with a fire fold, and found that it was useless, why are you using it when you burn?" ”

"That's because I concocted a potion, pubic lice are underground all the year round, carrying moisture on their bodies, if you don't get this layer of moisture, of course the fire can't burn, the effect of the medicine just now is to dry the moisture on the pubic lice, and then a fire passes, and it will naturally burn clean." Lao Tao patiently explained.

"Old Dao, you know a lot, are you really good at catching ghosts and subduing demons?" Che Ming interjected and asked.

"It's not that I can catch ghosts and subdue demons, monsters are just another kind of creature, Taoists have studied this kind of thing a lot, and they know what method to use to clean it up, in fact, they are all based on science."

"I'll just say, science is the most powerful knowledge, I thought there were really gods and ghosts." Jin Shan also began to speak.

The monkey thought about the pubic lice just now, and he was still in a cold sweat, and he didn't have to think about it, if that thing was on his body, he would definitely die.

Wu Yan didn't speak but looked excited, because he saw hope, Lao Dao and the monkey are both capable people, and they will definitely be able to go out if they follow, so Wu Yan was cautious along the way, and he didn't speak, nor did he interrupt, let him go how he went, and let him do whatever he wanted.
