Nuqing Xiangxi Chapter 40 Black Pipa

The mountain-moving technique used by the mountain movers when robbing the tomb seems to be unpredictable in the eyes of the world, but its gist is not separated from the way of restraint. This time the tomb robbery in Renbei Mountain, it was precisely because of the many poisonous mirages and miasma in the medicine mountain that he specially found the angry Qing chicken from the nearby Jinfeng Village, and the hundred poisons that were hidden in the mountain shade were not his opponents. But the night was thick, and the rooster's fierceness was reduced by half, and for a while he couldn't help the mountain scorpion that came out of the coffin.

Partridge whistle and others stood more than a dozen steps to open the battle, only to see the mountain scorpion with a wide belly and a thick back, but the left and right rushed to the right and could not get out, and finally the whole body suddenly curled up, a huge crack on the back, from which a cloud of white mist emerged, straight up and down to gather but not disperse, although the three roosters also fought red eyes, but when they saw the mountain scorpion suddenly moved, they couldn't help but be taken aback, and they didn't know its reality, so they immediately split up and retreated to dodge.

Seeing the strange white mist coming out of the scorpion's back, the partridge whistle quickly waved her hand to let the red girl and Miaozi take a few steps back. At this time, the mountain breeze blew lightly and dissolved the white mist, but I saw that the mountain scorpion cracked from its back, like opening a big mouth with a black hole, and a small scorpion with white flowers crawled out of it, broke free from the back of the female scorpion, and fled in all directions.

The mountain scorpion, which was completely cracked on its back, lay on the ground like an armor sac, never moving again, and had been dead for a long time. Seeing that many red and white little scorpions crawled out of the back of the female scorpion, they were natural enemies of each other, who was willing to let go, and immediately puffed up his wings, pounced on the little scorpions one by one and pecked them into his stomach. The other two roosters also stepped forward one after another, and swept away dozens of small scorpions in an instant, and did not let them get rid of half of them, and they were all buried in the belly of the chicken.

Miao Zi saw it on the side, patted his head with his hand, and whistled to the partridge: "It turns out that the mountain scorpion got into the coffin to give ......birth to a child by yin qi."

There is a folk proverb near the old bear ridge that "the scorpion has no mother since childhood", the local mountain scorpion only gives birth once in a lifetime, and all give birth from behind, and when the little scorpion is born, it is the period when the old scorpion dies, so the orphans who have no relatives in the Xiangxi village are called "scorpion children" by the mountain people.

The female scorpion burrows into the coffin of a human corpse because of the obscure corpse qi, which can temporarily relieve the pain of death due to a split back. Most of the local mountain people know that the small scorpions produced by the mother scorpion in one litter have always been thirty and six, no more and no less, which happens to be the number of a pair of dominoes, so there are also commonly known as mountain scorpions as "dominoes".

Partridge Whistle had never been to the fierce cave of Old Bear Ridge before, although he was well-informed, but there were also things he didn't know, and he didn't know about the peculiar habits of the local mountain scorpions. However, he saw that there were many rare medicinal stones in the bottle mountain, and the poisons hidden in the mountain were also strangely shaped, so how could he pay attention to the fact that he had obtained so much, as long as he identified the way of Shengke and brought a few roosters into the mountain, it would not hurt. Partridge Whistle saw that the three roosters had eaten dozens of small scorpions, and when they were full, their expressions became even more aggrieved, so they ordered Miaozi to catch them back to the bamboo basket, and he himself and the red girl went forward to check the contents of the coffin.

The two walked to the coffin with knives and guns, and first looked at the old ape pressed at the bottom of the coffin. The bottom of the purple coffin is cast with eight strange beasts to carry the coffin, all of which are stout and scaly half-human and half-beast appearances, the scale monster carrying the coffin not only shows the status of the corpse in the coffin, but also has the effect of preventing moisture in the tomb, so that the purple coffin is slightly higher from the ground, if the rain seeps into the tomb, even if it is difficult to discharge it for a while, it will not soak the coffin and submerge.

The white-haired old ape was smashed on the ground by the coffin, fortunately there is a structure of a strange beast carrying the coffin at the bottom of the coffin, there is still such a gap from the ground, and there are many fallen leaves that have been knocked down by the rain in the dense forest, and the ground is thick and thick, and the white ape is stubborn and strong, under a catastrophe, it has not died, but it is not lightly injured.

The partridge whistle leaned down, and took the lantern to the bottom of the coffin, and saw that the white-haired ape had blood flowing from its mouth and nose, and was motionless under it, as if it had died.

The partridge whistle thought to himself, the old monkey's head was still moving, why didn't it move at this time, so he raised his foot and kicked the ape's exposed arm. The old ape at the bottom of the coffin really shrank his arms to dodge, opened his eyes and turned around, grinning at the partridge whistle and baring his teeth, in addition to seven points of fear in his eyes, there were three points of vicious and viciousness.

When the partridge whistle saw the cunning look of this ape, he knew that it was by no means a good kind. All things in the world are born and died with nature, and when they live for a long time, they will recede their original hair color, from gray to white, and then from white silver, to this kind of process, which is no longer an ordinary thing, either immortal or demon, but can understand people's hearts.

Listen to the seedlings say, the monkeys near the white ape cave in this bottle of mountain often intercept the lone guests in the past to snatch food, which has killed many people, and even the clothing and goods are not let go.

The partridge whistle estimated that the old fox and the old fox of the ancient beaver monument were all the way, and he already had killing intent in his heart, so he immediately wanted to shoot the old ape and eliminate the name of the white ape cave. But the red girl did not take seriously what Miao Zi said about the monkeys harming people's lives, and she had never seen the monkeys cause trouble to people, and besides, the old ape was so badly injured that it would not live for a few days if it was released, so she advised the partridge whistle to show mercy to the white ape, and to spare it a few more days, for there are many brothers who have died today, and we must seek some blessings for them.

Partridge Whistle heard her say this, it was inconvenient to refute, and had to press the killing machine, anyway, this old ape only had half a life left, and the right to leave it to live for a while, he was proud of the gun, and it was effortless to take the life of this ape, and now the major event is now, it is still important to open the coffin and take the treasure, so he put away the gun and got up, and let the white ape grit his teeth at the bottom of the coffin, and no longer pay attention to it.

The three of them immediately stood on the side of the purple coffin and leaned out under the moonlight to see the situation in the coffin. At this time, the moon shadow fell, and the cold and dim light sprinkled in the coffin, only to see that the dead monkey and the zombie in the coffin were still stacked in one place, so they still used the centipede to hang on the ladder to pull the body of the bald monkey, pick it out of the coffin, and throw it off under the tree in the distance.

In this way, the situation of the ancient corpse lying flat in the coffin is vividly visible. Although the zombie of the Yuan Dynasty has been dead for nearly seven hundred years, even the purple embroidered brocade robe worn has begun to deteriorate, but the face of the ancient corpse has not changed, only the color of the skin of the whole body is purple and stiff, a messy hair is scattered and half covers the head and face, and the body is tall and tall.

In the Yuan Dynasty, there were not only Mongols in the army, but also people from the Western Regions and Mobei countries, as well as Goryeo and Hanyi. This general's hair color and appearance have strong Western Regions characteristics, but seeing that his mouth is tightly closed, it looks like his cheeks are slightly bulging, and he has not collapsed and withered, and it is expected that his mouth contains a treasure of rejuvenation.

Partridge Whistle was hoping that the zombie's mouth was a pearl, but he also knew that the princes and nobles were the same

The corpse, contained in the mouth, has always been three kinds of anti-face: one is anti-Yan San, which is an antiseptic secret medicine with mercury as the main raw material; The second is jade, jade can produce cold, the cool and moist jade is made into the shape of a human tongue and is included in the mouth of the deceased when he is buried, and the cool five can make the nine orifices refreshing and prevent the corpse from decaying; The most valuable are the moonlight pearls or exotic pearls produced at the bottom of the sea. As for the method of copper coins with pressure mouths, they were hardly adopted among the ancient aristocracy.

Look at the zombie in this purple gold coffin, it is always exposed to the night wind, but the skin and flesh are not obvious to shrink and collapse, and there must be special embalming methods in the corpse. But when the partridge whistle took a closer look, he was immediately shocked in his heart, it turned out that the zombie's nostrils and ears were full of pure gold powder. There has never been a thing in the world to use gold to rejuvenate the face, how can there be gold in the body of the zombies in the Yuan Dynasty? When the muzzle of the gun was pressed on the ear of the dead body, a piece of gold dust immediately fell off, and a lot of dirty blood gushed out of the ear hole, and the blood flowed into the coffin, and the smell was unbearable.

Partridge Whistle was puzzled, but he couldn't figure out anything, so he had to pry open the corpse to see what was going on. Just as he was about to enter the coffin and open the corpse, he suddenly heard a soft sound behind the tree, and hurriedly looked up, and saw a crooked neck tree trunk shaking slightly, and the leaves fell one after another, as if it was being pushed and shaken by someone, but the body of the tree was hugged thick, how could it be shaken with the strength of leisure?

The partridge whistled and scolded: "Noise, could it be that the group of thieves and monkeys are coming back again?" As he spoke, he had dragged the German-made twenty rings in his hand, and the gun brushed the ground in his hand and turned around, and the nose of the machine had been picked open, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the white ape under the coffin, thinking that if the monkeys were disturbing the side, it would be difficult to open the corpse and pick up the pearl and jade with peace of mind, so he might as well light the half-dead old white ape with one shot.

Seeing that the partridge whistle was about to kill the white ape, the seedling jumped up more than a foot high on the spot and shouted, "It's not a good thing, I forgot about such a big thing." Brother Mo, the time has long passed, but now it is the first time? ”

Seeing that Miao Zi's expression changed greatly, Partridge Whistle and the Red Girl didn't know what they were frightened about, as if they had cheated the corpse, and they didn't understand what he meant, so they said, "What is the first time?" ”

Miao Zi had already picked up the chicken coop and held it in his arms and shook it vigorously, and he had already remembered the date and time: "The two of them learned that when they met at midnight, the mountain scorpion was a single and a double, and just got rid of a female, there must be a more ruthless male scorpion hidden near the left." "Among the mountain scorpions, the male scorpion is the most vicious, although the body size is smaller than the female scorpion, but its poison is fierce and fierce, and it is extremely difficult to deal with. It was late at night, and the three roosters had just eaten their little scorpions, and they were all mentally exhausted, and no matter how they shook the bamboo basket, they refused to wake up.

Miao Zi was frightened and panicked, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the partridge whistle held him down and said, "What are you panicking about?" It's just another mountain scorpion, how much wind and waves can it have? ”

At this time, the red girl suddenly pointed to the shaking treetops in the distance, and whispered, "Look what is in the tree?" "The partridge whistle and the seedlings smell that the prestige will pass, and they can see it well under the shadow of the moon,? There is a pitch-black mountain scorpion hanging from the crooked neck tree. This scorpion hangs upside down on the tree, like a black old pipa, and when it moves slightly, the hard shell of the limbs on its body is as sonorous as the friction of iron leaves, and it is extremely fierce, no less than the six-winged centipede hiding in the Dan Palace.

Miao Zi exclaimed: "My lord, it is the black pipa spirit in the scorpion of Xiangxi Mountain...... before his words fell, the black pipa hanging upside down on the body of the tree had stretched its palate teeth and showed a pair of blood chela, and it fell from the crooked neck of the old tree.

Scorpions are unusual, they are all impatient and impatient, such as suicide and other decisive things, some people can do it, not everyone can do it, but when it comes to the genus of poisonous insects, only mountain scorpions can commit suicide. If a scorpion is caught and put in a glass bottle, and the fire mirror is illuminated in the sunlight, and the scorpion is in a bottle of acute pain and cannot escape from the bottle, it will reverse its tail and stab itself to death, which shows its manic nature.

When the black lute came down from the tree, it felt that there were dead scorpions and roosters near the coffin, and it had already aroused madness, and its whole body was full of resentment, and it circled at the bottom of the tree like a gust of black wind, and the crooked neck tree was immediately uprooted by it, and it fell into the bushes with a bang. The mountain scorpion shaped like a black pipa took advantage of the situation to hide in the depths of the grass and trees, only to see the grass flicking, and quickly and incoherently approaching the vicinity of the purple gold coffin.

The partridge whistle came so quickly, and he raised the mirror box gun with twenty rounds in his hand, and a long shot swept over, and the long grass brush that had been cut off by the rain of bullets fell down, but the forest was dense and overgrown, and it was impossible to see whether it had hit the black lute or not, and in an instant the twenty rounds in the magazine were gone. The partridge whistle kept his eyes on the trail of the mountain scorpion moving the grass, and quickly replaced the magazine in his hand, and he also made a voice to tell the cave man and the red girl to hurry up and open the cage and release the chickens, there were too many obstacles in this dense forest, and it was difficult to shoot the target if it was a little farther away, and it was only the best policy to make the rooster go to the fight.

In fact, the red girl and Miao Zi didn't have to listen to the order, and they had already thrown the three sleeping roosters in the bamboo basket outside. However, the roosters are full, and the night is deep, although the mortal enemy is in front of him, but he can't shake the spirit to fight hard in the past, so anxious that the seedlings are helpless, seeing the black pipa in the grass getting closer and closer, how can he manage a lot, one by one picked up the three half-asleep big roosters, and looked at the direction from the air to the mountain scorpion.

The angry chicken was suddenly thrown into the sky, it was in the air, suddenly woke up, the blood-red cockscomb immediately erected, the anger penetrated the colorful feathers all over the body, and with a high cry, it glided from the air and fell into the long grass, and immediately rolled and fought with the black lute. Chickens and birds are not as good as birds, and the range of wings and muscles are limited, but the strength of the neck and feet is abnormal. A pair of golden claws grabbed the scorpion tail fiercely, pulled it hard, and dragged the domino black pipa to the spot.

At this time, the other two big roosters were also thrown over, they did not have the fierce look of the angry chicken, just after a vicious fight with the female scorpion, they were already sleepy, and at this time they suddenly approached the enemy, and they couldn't help but be a little confused. Before one of the roosters could wake up, the head of the rooster was knocked off by the manic and crazy black lute - chelate tongs, and the scorpion tail was useful, and the bloody head of the rooster was slammed into the seedling.

The cave barbarian was panicking, only to see the chicken head with blood flying in the wind, straight to see the eyes are also dazzled, where to avoid it, fortunately the partridge whistle eye is fast, a pull the seedling aside, the chicken head just flew past its face, if a few inches away, the head of the rooster is bound to poke the right eye of the seedling, only to hear a dull sound came out, the chicken head has hit something behind him.

The partridge whistle and the others heard the wrong sound, and the chicken's head didn't seem to hit the coffin or the tree, so they quickly looked back and couldn't help but gasp. It turned out that the zombies of the Yuan Dynasty in the purple coffin, I don't know when, sat up from the coffin silently, with their fingers and claws, as if they were about to climb out of the coffin, the chicken head hit the zombie's face without obliqueness, and the face of the ancient corpse and the messy hair were splashed with chicken blood, which was really hideous in the moonlight.
