Chapter 15: Digging a Pit
There are a lot of large boulders in this area, which must have fallen from the cliffs, and the surface of the rocks is wrapped in floating soil, and some weeds have grown, and we began to search for them. The Pressure Stone is just a general term, it has no specific appearance, it may be a seal, it may be some kind of gold and silver ware, it may be a Fu Gui, there are many types, and so on.
But either way, its external shape is certainly distinguishable from its surroundings, so it is not difficult to find.
Throughout the process, I would occasionally keep an eye on the holes in the surrounding lakes to prevent the merman from popping out of the water. Everyone's luck was not bad, we only had ten minutes before Tang Linlin was the first to discover a very strange thing.
It was the size of a palm, green in color, and it was cold and cold in the hand, like some kind of jade.
Tan Jian still has a lot of research on jade and stone, he took it in his hand and looked at it for a while, and then said, "It's an aventurine stone." "Aventurine stone, also known as aventurine jade, Jiangxi just produces this kind of jade, but this is not a high-end jade, and Hetian and Kunlun jade are not at the same level at all.
The shape of the whole thing is relatively clumsy, like a tiger, with its head hanging down and its tail curled and soffbelly, which looks like it gives people a sense of strength and restraint and ready to go.
Zhou Xuanye turned the thing over, and there were still a few words engraved on the back of the thing, all of which were small seals, and I couldn't recognize what they were. Zhou Xuanye read it out in one mouth: "Dominate the eight directions." Immediately, his face was happy, and he said: "That's it, now that we have found the first one, it seems that the previous guess is correct." Looking for it next, there should be six other identical Pressure Stones. This made everyone angry, Tang Linlin stood on a big rock, raised her arms and shouted: "Clean fetish, foxes, virgins!" Victory is just around the corner, don't be discouraged, follow me, and go all the way...... Hey, wait until I'm done! Wait for me, you guys. ”
Hell, I'll wait for you to be unreliable.
The next progress is quite smooth, with Zhou Xuanye, the formation master, there is nothing to hide, and it is not difficult to find it, but it is not a small project to surround the entire lake, and by the time the seven pressure array stones are in hand, it is already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
Since dawn, we have hardly stopped our feet, and now the muscles in our legs seem to be twisted, and we are completely unable to exert our strength.
Tang Linlin simply sat on the ground and said, "No, I'm going to die, a beauty like me should die in the pile of handsome guys, it's too embarrassing to walk so hard." Let me take my breath. ”
I said, "Aren't we just handsome guys, and you're not satisfied with the three!" ”
She said: "The emperor has three thousand beauties in the harem, doesn't he still go to the people to steal food from time to time?" Besides, if you want money or not, you want to be gentle or not gentle, you deserve to be single. My sister and I are different, I want to be in our ...... There, I waved, and you know how many men cry and shout every night begging me to turn over the cards, and I don't turn them over and kill themselves. The wolf spirit is fierce, and when he leaves, his legs tremble and he goes out with tears...... Speaking of experience and strength, it's just the three of you, not me to brag ......about it."
I couldn't help but interrupt her: "Crying and shouting to beg you to turn over the card? Still walking with tears in his eyes...... I mean, the men in your place are pedophiles, aren't they? ”
"Every day, you're getting more and more una** now."
"Because I see your true nature, and I will no longer be deceived by your appearance. Pervert, take your hand away from my thigh, and I'm not welcome if you dare to touch it even a centimeter up! ”
She blinked, and her expression suddenly became pitiful: "You're welcome? Big brother, how are you going to be unkind to me? As he spoke, he approached me, his small nose rubbed against the front of my mouth, and straightened his non-existent breast.
Zhou Xuanye played with the seven pressure array stones in his hand, glanced at the two of us, and said, "You two stop playing, there is a tricky problem." "At this moment, we have come to the tail of the snake, but there is still that poisonous sea of flowers in the distance, and the surrounding environment has not changed at all.
Tang Linlin immediately straightened her posture and said, "Tricky? Didn't they all find the Pressure Stone? ”
Zhou Xuanye said: "There is still an eye, but that thing should be underwater." He pointed to the large lake behind us.
I couldn't help but be stunned, this lake is huge, looking for an eye in it, isn't it equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack? What's more, there is also a fierce mermaid inside.
As if seeing my thoughts, Zhou Xuanye said in a deep voice: "The location of the array eye is in the center of the lake, I can dive into the water to find it, it's not too difficult, the difficult thing is the shark in the lake, we have to find a way to eradicate it." ”
Tang Linlin said: "It didn't come to eradicate us, thank God." ”
Zhou Xuanye said: "Everything has weaknesses, since this merman was able to be caught by the people of Yumen, then why can't we?" ”
I thought for a moment and said, "After all, the merman is a fish, and we can find a way to lure it to the shore, so that its strength should be greatly reduced." It's just that it makes that weird noise, and how can we guard against it? ”
At this time, Tan Jian said while changing into new gloves: "Sharks can't make a sound during the day. He spoke with certainty, as if he knew the creature well. Tang Linlin asked him why, and his answer made people feel fucked up and couldn't refute: "In Western stories, don't sharks come out at night to 'sing' to lure ships?" ”
I was about to say that Tan Jian's words were too unreliable, but Zhou Xuanye said: "It is also recorded in the ancient documents about the Qin Dynasty that the mermaids sing at night and are good at gold and stone. The ancients believed that the merman's ability to sing at night came from the moon, and during the day, the merman in the water was more like a vicious water creature. If it can make this kind of sound anytime and anywhere, then when we are looking for the Pressure Formation Stone, we are afraid that it has already been plotted by it. As soon as he said this, I remembered that Zhou Xuanye saw the mermaid on the big tree, and I immediately felt reasonable.
That thing has been watching us all the time, and if it can really make that kind of noise to attack us anytime and anywhere, how can it be safe and sound with us until now?
Moon?
Indeed, last night the moon was bright and the stars were scarce.
If this is the case, then we must find a way to find the eye in the water before the moon rises in the evening. We don't have diving equipment, so we can only hold our breath and dive, and in this regard, the most powerful is Zhou Xuanye, so only he can complete this task.
Although the merman can't make that kind of sound during the day, just looking at its sharp teeth and sharp claws, he also knows that in the underwater world, it must also be a fierce predator, once it enters the water, Zhou Xuanye has no advantage at all, so the only thing we can do is to find a way to lure the merman to the shore and then get it out of the water.
Dehydrated fish naturally have no attack power.
But what do we do?
The crowd sat there and thought.
Suddenly, Tang Linlin slapped her thigh, her eyes lit up, and said, "Yes, I have an idea!" ”
I hurriedly said, "What an idea, hurry up." ”
"If you ask me to say it, I'll say it, how shameless it is, if you let me kiss it, I'll tell you."
I said, "Pull down, ** say or not." ”
Tang Linlin choked for a moment, and when she saw that I really didn't ask myself, I couldn't hold it back, and I was as anxious as a monkey, and finally said: "It's actually very simple, you think, where do the mermaids live?" Oh in the sea! Is the sea water salty? But this lake is a freshwater lake, which is equivalent to putting a ** spicy Sichuan person in Guangdong, which does not eat spicy, if this Sichuan person can't stand it, he happens to see a Sichuan restaurant, what will he do? ”
Needless to say, of course, it's a long drought and a rainstorm, so I went in and had a big meal.
I immediately understood, and said, "You mean, let's use salt water to draw it out?" ”
Tang Linlin snapped her fingers and said, "That's right, just do it." ”
Salt we naturally have, but not much, long-term activities in the wild, salt is an indispensable thing, not only for eating, but also for many other functions, can be said to be an almighty treasure. Although Tang Linlin's method was novel, everyone discussed it and felt that they could give it a try.
Immediately, we worked out the details and decided to dig a deep pit near the shore of the lake, fill it with water, and mix it with all our salt. Once the merman fell into a trap and was trapped in a shallow pit, Zhou Xuanye was killing him. As long as Zhou Xuanye's speed is fast enough, it will be difficult for the merman to escape. Here, we also have a secret weapon, which is the pistol that Song Qiaoming gave me when I was in the jungle of Yunnan-Burma.
That thing was originally swallowed by me, but in the end it was forcibly confiscated by Tan Jian, and this gun is now on Tan Jian's body, the only regret is that there are not many bullets. Although Tan Jian and the others often deal with these gods and ghosts, in reality they are good citizens, and they have no contact with people like arms dealers, so they can't get bullets.
Now there are only five bullets in the gun, and when the time comes, it will really not work, and you can still get shots.
There was not much time, but after we had finished our discussions, we immediately began to move, and quickly dug a pit at the edge of the lake.
