Chapter 32: Hunting and Killing the Old Lost Camel
Lin Mei is a very alert person, she woke up as soon as I moved, and we didn't feel sleepy anymore, so I explained to her in detail the mental method of the seven techniques of the Yin Fu of this scripture, and then told her about the dream.
Plum Blossom Boxing also has no specific moves, and it can be used at will when facing the enemy, which does not conflict with the four keys after the seven strokes of the Yin Fu of this meridian, and she also has some understanding.
Xiaoxue had no interest in hand-to-hand fighting, and seeing that Wannian Tai Sui couldn't eat, it was really tormenting, urging her to leave quickly, so we packed up our things and prepared to go. I reached out and pressed it on Tai Sui again, and felt a faint sadness and melancholy coming from it, as if my great-master and his old man were waving to me and saying zaijian.
With the secret left by the great master, as long as I practice hard, I believe that it won't take too long for me to suppress the white snake in the cold hole, and it will not be difficult to come to see the great master in the future, so I am not too sad, and kneel down and kowtow again to say goodbye. Lin Mei also knelt down and kowtowed with me, Xiaoxue's mood became even more unhappy, feeling that the two of us seemed to be worshipping heaven and earth, but she didn't say it.
After leaving the small cave where my great-master was, my head was a little bigger, which direction was the right exit? I still stick to my idea, xiangshang to walk to get out of the ground. This time Xiaoxue didn't object, but she always felt extremely sorry for not eating Tai Sui's meat, and she kept nagging along the way.
"Alas, you don't know, Tai Sui is the most special thing, stranger than Cordyceps sinensis and dragonflies, neither a plant, nor an animal, nor a fungus, but in fact it is a plant, an animal, and a fungus, and it is a very, very ancient species, and there is nothing stranger in the world."
Lin Mei asked: "Will you really become an immortal if you eat it?" ”
Xiaoxue said: "Of course, mortals can't soar in the day when they eat a little, but eating it regularly is really beneficial, it can improve immunity and not get sick, remove toxins from the body, live younger, gray hair turns black, and lost teeth are reborn." Cultivators can absorb more essence after eating it, and there are many benefits, but it is hard to find...... By the way, if the part where I used to live is still there, it should have grown a lot now, and we can eat it! ”
Lin Mei asked: "So will the eldest brother prolong his life after eating it?" ”
"This ...... It should be, no, it definitely can! ”
……
I didn't interject in the chat between Lin Mei and Xiaoxue, as the saying goes, medicine does not kill diseases, Buddha is destined to be a person, if you can live forever or even become an immortal by eating elixir, then how can it be embarrassing to spend countless time and energy cultivating? For example, my mother couldn't even save the immortals when they sent someone to save her, so it can be seen that even the immortals are sometimes powerless in matters of life and death, let alone the elixir? But who decides life and death?
Suddenly I thought of the words "Ghost Valley Secret Realm" mentioned in Zeng Shizu's last words, what does that mean? The master said that Zeng Shizu was looking for the dragon vein, but Zeng Shizu said that he was looking for the secret realm of the Ghost Valley, and there was a conflict here. But Zeng Shizu's last words only mentioned the secret realm of the Ghost Valley once, and did not explain what it was, with the ability and character of the ancestor of Zeng, he would definitely not bother to find unimportant things, which shows that the secret realm of the Ghost Valley is very important.
The ancestor of the Yin and Yang family is Guiguzi, could it be related to this secret realm of Guigu? But the Guigu Valley where Guiguzi lived in seclusion back then was not here!
We instinctively walked upward, and after more than half an hour we came to a very complex cave area, and the caves were connected like a labyrinth. My heart was pounding again, this area was most likely connected to the place where the old camel had set a trap for me, so we could meet it again! Thinking of the insidious, weird, and vicious old Mituo, Lin Mei and I both shuddered, being stared at by such an old monster, it was really difficult to eat, and we were frightened every step.
Xiao Xue said: "Actually, it's not that scary, it doesn't dare to face us head-on, what it's good at is mind reading, creating illusions and phantom clones." You were anxious to find your great-master before, and you were worried about it, so you were taken advantage of by it, but now as long as you are carefree and strong-willed, it will not know your true thoughts, and it is possible to see through the illusion. The Buddhist scriptures have clouds: the heart is not hindered, there is no obstacle, so there is no terror, and it is far away from upside-down dreams......"
Actually, I don't need Xiaoxue to say more, I understand her little bit. The actual meaning of the seven techniques of this scripture is to strengthen one's spirit and will to make the enemy have no chance, and at the same time to gain insight into the weaknesses of the other party, this mental method can be a good way to fight against the old camel, after reading the commentary of the great master, I have a higher understanding.
I began to look for the way I came, and as long as I found it, I could return to the surface safely, and when I got outside, I would not be afraid of the tricks of the old camel.
After walking for a while, I turned towards a hole, and Lin Mei suddenly grabbed me: "What's wrong with big brother, you have to hit the wall?"
"Walls?" I looked at it again, it was obviously a cave, how could she say it was a wall? Immediately, I reacted, Lin Mei didn't understand the true meaning of the law, and was confused by the old camel!
The old lost camel weishenme wants to disguise a hole as a stone wall? Maybe this cave is the right exit, maybe there is treasure in this cave, maybe the old camel is hiding in this hole, anyway, it doesn't want me to go in, so I want to go in.
I held a katana in my right hand and pulled Lin Mei in my left hand and rushed into the hole, Lin Mei exclaimed, and the illusion in her eyes disappeared. At the same time, Xiaoxue also shouted: "It's inside, chase it!" ”
I also saw a dark shadow flashing, the light of the night pearl was limited, and I couldn't see too far, but there was no other humanoid creature here except the old camel, it must be it. I'm chasing after it, I must kill this old monster today, or there will be endless trouble!
The old camel hid in Tibet, and suddenly shrank in a crack in the stone wall and did not move, but a humanoid phantom continued to gallop along the cave. I immediately understood that it was using the phantom to deceive us again, but now it couldn't shake my heart, so in my eyes the entity is still the substance, and the phantom is the phantom.
I rushed to the old camel's hideout and slashed at it, screaming and dodging, and a large amount of black gas came out of it. I was afraid that it would be plotted, so I hurriedly took two steps back to concentrate on it, and found that there was a slight green blood stain on the tip of the knife, and I had already cut it!
"Flee over there!" Xiaoxue suddenly gave me directions.
Lin Mei and I hurriedly chased after it, but we didn't go far and found a few drops of blood on the ground, and another drop of blood not far ahead. I couldn't see the shadow of the old camel, and I couldn't sense it, but Xiaoxue could track the smell of blood and guide me all the way. Because we were in a hurry, the old lost camel did not stop to bandage and stop the bleeding, and there were blood stains on the ground at intervals.
After a half-circle around the cave area, the old camel ran along a xiangshang cave, but it was not the cave when I entered. Now I don't care where this hole leads, I must hunt it down to the end, and I will not stop until I kill it! My original estimate may have been wrong, and it can run in the dark without the Night Pearl, which makes it even more dangerous.
After chasing for a long time, Lin Mei and I were already out of breath, some couldn't run, and there was no blood on the ground, but Xiaoxue could still smell the smell of blood coming from it. We were afraid that it would escape, so we didn't dare to stop, and we continued to chase it.
There were several forks along the way, and Xiaoxue pointed out the direction with certainty, and the old lost camel was not far ahead. The air in the cave is thin, and most places are extremely steep uphill or even cliffs, running and climbing for a long time is really terrible, zuihou me and Lin Mei really can't run, so we can only stop and rest for a while.
The speed of the old camel is not much faster than ours, mainly because it has been hiding in the cave for a long time and has become accustomed to the environment of thin air, and Chen Youyuan's body can no longer be regarded as a human body, this really can't be compared with it.
After the break, Xiaoxue could no longer determine the location of the old lost camel, so we could only continue to chase it by feeling, and even if we couldn't catch up in the end, we were not far from the top of the mountain, and it should be easier to find the exit to reach the ground, which is also a good thing.
After walking for a few more minutes, Xiaoxue suddenly said "Huh": "Do you see the paw prints on the ground, like those left by the fire-scaled mountain dragon?" ”
I held up the Pearl of the Night and looked down closely, it was a very steep rocky slope, with marks of great claws crawling, claw marks were sharp, three inches deep into the hard granite, and the width between the five claw marks was much wider than the palm of my hand was open. This is very similar to the paw prints of the fire-scaled pangolin that I have seen before, it is unlikely that there is any other giant beast that can leave such deep paw prints on the rocks, but what is it doing when it runs so high?
Lin Mei and I glanced at each other, and saw that each other's faces were worried, we have offended that big guy, if we are met by it, it will definitely not be polite to us, if it is clawed, it is definitely the result of the bone shattering the front chest and piercing the back.
We took a closer look and found that the fire-scaled pangolin had dug a hole not far away, and climbed along the cave for a while, but it couldn't squeeze through the narrow place, so we found a place with a lot of dirt and dug a hole and walked, or continued to the top of the mountain. It seems that it can easily dig holes in areas of crunchy volcanic rock, but in areas of hard granite it is a little difficult to dig, or it is too laborious, so find a place to dig in the dirt.
I'm a little puzzled, the big demons in the belly of this mountain have been suppressed by Zeng Shizu, they shouldn't run too far, weishenme fire scales through the mountain dragon ran to such a high mountaintop? Could it be that the old camel is fleeing in this direction and is leading us to another terrible trap?
I discussed it with Lin Mei and Xiaoxue, but decided to move on, maybe the Fire Scale Panshan Dragon just went out to visit relatives, and just happened to pass by here, and with the strength of the old camel, it should not be able to summon it.
As we continued to walk up the cave, the air was getting fresher and fresher, and the temperature was in the comfortable range of the human body, and it seemed that it was not far from the ground. Xiaoxue is in a good mood, the magnetic field here has weakened, and she has basically returned to her normal state.
"There's a shaking ahead, there's something huge fighting!" Xiaoxue said suddenly.
Lin Mei and I walked forward quickly, and the cave gradually opened up and became a large underground space, and I also felt a faint vibration from the ground. A little further, the space was larger, and there were other caves leading to here, Xiaoxue exclaimed again: "The little white snake is also here!" ”
I didn't realize what she meant by the little white snake for a while, but when I glanced at the ground, I immediately gasped. There were traces of a huge strip of body sliding on a muddy floor, and from the arc of the indentation, the diameter of its body was more than one meter two!
