Chapter Seventy-Four: Corpse Stinky Grass
The thing that kidnapped the monkey was a "corpse stinky grass", and it was also shocked to find that these towering hairy grasses growing on the ground were actually the roots of this corpse stinky grass.
And this corpse stinking grass does not grow in the ground, but stands upright on the grass. The fibrous roots that grow from under its body are countless hairy grasses, some of which go deep into the ground, some grow into the distance, and some of which quietly stand up and stand by the corpse stinky grass.
This strange plant, with its roots resembling hairy grass, tightly tied up the monkey, and from time to time instructed other hairy grass roots, to attack me.
The vajra in his hand never stopped for a moment, making the corpse-like grass smell grass roots. Seeing that the roots could not get close to me, the corpse grass began to move backwards on the grass, dragging the monkey tightly wrapped in weeds. Seeing that the corpse stinky grass was about to run, I immediately picked up the vajra in my hand, waved it desperately, and kept rushing forward. However, the constant sea of green almost drowned me again and again, and Yan zhòng hindered my speed and effectively prevented my rescue.
But luckily, the corpse grass floating on the ground was moving very slowly, so I didn't throw it away. I just kept sighing in my heart: Why haven't my teammates arrived yet?
The corpse stinking grass, which emits the smell of corpses, seems to be the same carnivorous plant as the "ghost algae civet", which is why it haunts the monkeys. But I couldn't figure out how to eat a monkey with only six or seven, skull-sized white flowers the size of a tomato, could it be that it could be used to nibble on the monkey with its seemingly withered white flowers?
But soon, the anomaly was discovered. It was because the monkey howled like a pig that I was fixing my eyes on the way ahead. I saw it in the dim moonlight. The corpse skunk first bent a few hairy sprigs in front of it, then stabbed it into the skin of the monkey's bare arm. Using the tip of the hairy grass, he began to suck the blood from the monkey. Immediately surprised to find that the white meridians on the stalks of the corpse stinking grass turned bright red in an instant.
Cut off a few hairy grasses next to him and hold them in his hands, and found that the top of the hairy grass had very sharp and small empty stems. It's like a needle for an IV. It turns out that the corpse stinky grass uses the tip of the needle to suck blood.
Next, I found something even more terrifying, the hairy grass that had been sucking blood for a while seemed to have sucked the blood under the skin of the monkey's arm, and then I walked down the skin and began to look for a new blood-sucking territory.
When I saw this, my brain was numb, and I immediately put the vajra in my hand. Directly as a flying sword envoy, he shot straight and accurately at the corpse stinky grass.
The corpse stinking grass dodged the vajra I threw out in a slight flash. But my purpose is not to do this, just to prevent the corpse from continuing to suck the blood of the monkeys. I see that success diverts attention. Immediately, he quickly pulled out a short torch in his backpack and wrapped it around a combustion charm. Immediately lit. The light of the sky-high fire shone all around, and immediately made the surroundings seem like daylight. I clutched my flaming torch and rushed forward. At the strange corpse stinky grass, he kept waving torches.
I didn't expect the fire attack to be very effective, and the corpse stinky grass that was dodging in a panic immediately left the monkey behind, and disappeared in front of my eyes in a blink of an eye. It turned out that the corpse grass was very fast, but the rhizome exposed on the ground in front of it was wrapped around the monkey, so it couldn't move quickly. Now it has abandoned the burden of the monkey and quickly escaped.
Instead of chasing the corpse and the stinking grass, I quickly ran to the monkey that had fallen to the ground and stuck the torch on the ground. The hairy grass around them, fearful of the torches, immediately flashed aside, revealing a clearing.
Picked up the vajra that he had thrown earlier, inserted it into his waist, and then helped the monkey up, and found that there were several scratches on the monkey's arm that looked like thin blades, and the blood flowed out very little, but his face was very pale.
This time, when I went into the mountain, I brought a variety of life-saving pills secretly made by the master, and immediately gave the monkey a pill that used old ginseng as bait and medicine. The monkey, who had lost too much blood, breathed a sigh of relief.
A gust of mountain wind blew, and the torches beat feverishly a few times, and I immediately took off my coat, put it on the monkey's body, and asked him, "Senior brother, what do you think?" ”
With tears in his eyes, the monkey gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine." However, the expression on his face was exposed, and he grinned in pain.
I saw the monkey enduring the pain, it was very funny, and I saw that his face was a little ruddy, and he had been hanging his heart, and finally let go. The monkey is now my own brother, and I have to take good care of him, after all, he is not as good as the fat man, but he has the same boldness as the fat man, and loves to cause trouble.
I opened my backpack and pulled out a bag of things. Since I went to Kunlun Mountain, I have gained a lot of knowledge and learned a lot of things. At that time, it was very difficult to make a fire in the freezing snow and the trees were frozen. Fortunately, there was sulfur that the playboy got in the sulfur spring at that time, so that the life-saving bonfire was successfully lit.
This time, before leaving, I made sufficient preparations, in order to prevent it from being in a humid place, it is not easy to light the fire, so I specially asked someone to get some "red phosphorus" for making matches, and according to a secret art record, I mixed some bone meal to make a powder "bone phosphorus powder" that can burn for a long time.
Now there are no trees in the meadow, and there is no firewood that can be used to light a fire, so I have to rely on this special bag of phosphorus powder to light the flame against the hairy tip grass.
Use a torch to drive away the hairy grass, and then sprinkle some bone phosphorus powder around the four corners to ignite it. Bone phosphorus powder can burn for a long time, and the fire is not small. Because of the fear of the burning flames, the hairy grass scattered and hid far away, leaving me with a lot of room to move.
At this time, it was almost the middle of the night, and I was very worried about the other members, hoping that they would see the fire, and come to meet me as much as possible.
I asked the monkey to lie down and rest, then sat down on the damp and soft ground and began to wait for the crowd to arrive.
At the beginning of the fourth watch, Zha Qiye took Zha Ling'er to the camp, hurriedly stood up to greet them, checked and asked about their condition, fortunately neither of them was injured.
Seventh Master Zha told me that when I was chasing the monkey that was taken away by the corpse stinky grass, Zha Ling'er was captured by other hairy grass at the same time, and Seventh Master Zha hurriedly chased him out, and it took a lot of effort to rescue Zha Ling'er from the sharp hairy grass.
I asked Seventh Master about the fat man and the cigarette man, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know." It was chaotic and sudden, so I didn't have time to be distracted by the others. He told Seventh Master about the corpse stinky grass, and Seventh Master glanced at the monkey lying on the ground and fell asleep, and then said, "Fortunately, your rescue is timely." ”
Then he asked the Seventh Master, "Seventh Master, can you think of a way to deal with the corpse stinky grass?" ”
Seventh Master immediately took out a small notebook from his arms and began to look through it.
I have seen the small book in the hands of the seventh master, which describes a lot of unique Taoist tricks, all kinds of knowledge that is very unpopular, as well as particularly peculiar tomb customs, legendary mythical animals, strange plants and other various, unheard of, unseen events, there are detailed records.
Seventh Master stared at the small notebook for a long time, then closed the notebook and said, "Plants are afraid of fire." But it is useless to burn the grass in front of you directly, you have to catch the corpse stinky grass. ”
After hearing this, his heart said: Every time he asks the seventh master how to do it, he starts with nonsense, and then, "but" and "but" say a lot of things, so that he can get to the point.
I have long been accustomed to the way that Seventh Master Zha speaks in a somewhat tricky way, so he said to Seventh Master Zha Seven: "The corpse stinky grass is afraid of fire, I know this." I mean, if you attack with fire, what kind of method should you use? ”
Seventh Master Cha didn't think about it, so he shook the iron bone fan in his hand and said to me: "Catch the corpse stinky grass and burn it directly." ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart and secretly said: This is not nonsense, who doesn't know how to catch the corpse stinkgrass, the key is how to catch the corpse stinkgrass? The Corpse Grass does not stay in one place all the time, it will use the roots of the grass to roam around the basin, and can direct his roots and hairy grass from a distance to catch prey in the distance.
Actually, I thought about it before, as long as I can catch the corpse stinking grass wandering around, no matter what method is used, it is estimated that it can be eliminated, such as burning, cutting off, etc.
There is a saying called "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots", as long as we eliminate the corpse stinky grass, it is estimated that the sharp hairy grass roots in this basin will perish together and no longer have any threat. However, the problem now is, how to catch the corpse stinking grass that I don't know where I am at the moment, and I won't obediently catch it?
Zha Qiye thinks that the best way is to "trap", and as soon as I heard this word, my head was big. As I have learned from the painful experience of the past, trapping is definitely a very simple thing to do, but it is quite difficult and very dangerous to do.
But at this time, I can't think of any other way, and I can't help but pray that the fat man who occasionally uses his extraordinary abilities and the cigarette man who has always been very reliable will gather with everyone to help me come up with ideas.
The fat man and the cigarette man don't know if they are together, or if they are separated. The area in this basin is not big or small, but if you get separated, it will be difficult to find each other. Although I lit the fireworks, which were of the nature of guiding the way, there were hairy grasses all over the place, which might make it difficult for them to find my current position. When I thought of the fact that I had seen the corpse stinky grass before, using the tip of the hairy grass to suck the blood from the monkey, I couldn't help but worry about the safety of the smoke man and the fat man.
I couldn't think of a good idea to deal with the corpse stinkweed, and I was very worried about the safety of the fat man and the cigarette man, so I volunteered to keep vigil. It's also because I'm too depressed to sleep peacefully. (To be continued......)
