Chapter 10: The Tomb of the Fallen Soul
Wu Xie asked Lao Sun to bandage Ah Hai to reduce inflammation, and he turned out a cotton cloth garment, poured alcohol, lit the beetle and began to beat Da Zhao.
The gathered beetles gradually dispersed, but Da Zhao, who was originally lying on the ground, disappeared!
I saw that there were some watches, daggers and other items that Da Zhao carried with him scattered on the ground, and the surface of the objects was also corroded beyond recognition. Except for the hard metal, everything else, even the bones and clothing, had been eaten away by the insects in just a few minutes.
The fat man's face changed, and he said astringently: "The organs in this Gaochang City are also vicious, it's just killing people without seeing blood, eating people without spitting scum......"
Wu Xie was also secretly frightened, the team of ten people had already died and two injured in the blink of an eye, and one person's life and death were unknown. And until now, they haven't even found the right way to the dungeon.
After eating Da Zhao, the beetles began to gather in the direction of living people.
Everyone lit the defense of the things that could be burned at hand, but the combustibles in the equipment were limited after all, and they couldn't support them for a while, and the insects in front of them were endless and increasing, and gradually there was almost no place to put their feet on the ground.
These beetles can't be stepped on, they keep waving torches made of clothes, and the fat man sees sweat on his forehead and says: "Fat man, I have a lot of meat, and it hurts more than you for a long time to be gnawed by insects." I still have an incendiary bomb here, it's better to learn from the blind and die with these ghosts and insects, and it's better than being eaten alive! ”
Wu Xie shook his head and said, "It's not time to run out of mountains and rivers yet, it's better to-"
Estimating the incendiary objects in everyone's hands, Wu Xie looked around at the rest of the team and said, "It's better for us to rush out, maybe there is still a glimmer of life ahead." ”
Lao Sun and the others looked grim, knowing that it was not a way to drag on like this, and they also made up their minds to break the kettle, and said, "We all listen to the little third master!" ”
Wu Xie said in a deep voice: "Da Liu Er Liu, you two take Ah Hai, let's go!" ”
Da Liu and Er Liu are brothers, and when they heard this, they responded, and the two of them set up Ah Hai, who had fainted in pain, one left and one right.
"Wait."
The young man surnamed Chen suddenly said: "Breaking through is bound to step on the insect corpse, and the shoes under our feet won't last long, and they will soon be burned through." ”
The fat man said impatiently: "It's too late for a while, and then it's too late, and then wait, you kid can't just talk about it all the way and don't practice, it won't be sent by the Chen family to make trouble, right?"
The surnamed Chen was unimpressed, took out several pale yellow thin strips of paper from his close-fitting clothes, bit the index finger of his right hand, and quickly wrote something on each piece of paper with blood.
The fat man was about to ridicule him and pretend to be a ghost, but the man surnamed Chen held the stack of tissue paper in his hand and began to chant words in his mouth.
I saw that the unthinkable happened!
These pieces of tissue paper seemed to be alive, leaving the palms of the surnamed Chen's hands one after another, floating in the air, and then floating towards everyone as if they were conscious.
The piece of paper was attached to each person's chest, and then it stopped fluttering.
And what is even more jaw-dropping next is that with this piece of paper on the person's body, it is like having a talisman, and the surrounding beetles have retreated, and for a time they ran away from everyone's feet.
Wu Xie looked down at the paper symbol on his chest, and saw a string of bright red strange symbols on the pale yellow paper, both like words and pictures, as if it was a very ancient and obscure language.
Wu Xie Zheng secretly claimed to be surprised, only to hear someone blurt out: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a Taoist secret technique." Could it be that this is the 'Taoist Chen' who only hears his name and is difficult to see on the Tao? ”
The person who spoke was Lao Sun, and the young man surnamed Chen looked at him and nodded slightly.
Lao Sun was stunned, his expression was still in disbelief, and he said a little distractedly: "I have long heard that the Chen family has a master who is proficient in spells, and his methods are unpredictable, but he does not make a move easily. I have admired the name of 'Taoist Chen' for many years, but I didn't expect the deity to be so young! ”
The young man surnamed Chen showed his hand, and with Lao Sun's words, even the young guys in the group who had never heard of "Taoist Chen" couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
Wu Xie also looked at this young man again, and saw that his expression was always calm and unhurried, but he didn't expect that he was a hidden master.
Being watched by everyone's curious eyes, Taoist Chen did not show any discomfort, he looked at Wu Xie Dao: "Little Third Master, we can go now, right?" ”
Wu Xie nodded and said, "Since Friend Chen has no other opinions, then let's set off immediately." ”
Everyone did not dare to delay, and immediately set off with the wounded on the equipment rack.
Wu Xie took the lead in the front, and everywhere he went, the beetles around him really avoided one after another. Even Lao Sun and others, who have a lot of knowledge, were amazed for a while.
Wu Xie heard the fat man behind him hugging Lao Sun's shoulders and whispered, "What is the origin of this surname Chen?" ”
Lao Sun raised his eyebrows and said: "The fat man is also the elder of the inverted fighting world, could it be that he has never heard of the number one 'Taoist Chen'?" ”
"Fat man, when I was in the limelight more than ten years ago, I guess this little hairy child was still playing with mud." The fat man said: "If it weren't for the fat man and me returning to the countryside in the past few years, it would not be the turn of these 'green faces'!" ”
Lao Sun said: "If you want to talk about the origin of this Taoist priest Chen, you have to start with the strange tomb in the 'Fallen Soul Valley' five years ago——"
As soon as he heard a story, the fat man came to the spirit and urged Lao Sun to speak quickly.
Lao Sun cleared his throat and said: "Twelve years ago, Chen Siye took a group of good hands to Changbai but never returned, and the Chen family withered for a while, so he had to partner with his peers on the road to clamp the lama......"
Hearing the word "Changbai", Wu Xie's heart moved, remembering the journey with the stuffy oil bottle all the way, as well as all the things in front of the bronze door, and the past came to mind again.
Wu Xie's eyes became confused, and the conversation between the two people behind him also began to listen to a word.
“…… There was no danger along the way, and when the chopsticks head Feng Xiaozi saw that the things were in hand, and saw that the Chen family was alone, he became greedy. He and his subordinates combined to close the tomb door and lock the Taoist priest Chen in the tomb. ”
It is not uncommon for the inverted Dou Realm to eat black, although this Feng Shorty's methods are despicable, but the strength of this line of work is everything, and every Tufuzi probably has this kind of consciousness of being betrayed at any time. And examples of life and death friendship like the "Iron Triangle" back then, although not necessarily unique, may be a handful.
"But this Feng Dwarf came out of the tomb and returned to this 'Fallen Soul Valley', but found that something was wrong. When they entered the valley, it was dusk, and they tossed and turned in the bucket for five or six hours, and when they came out, it was still a twilight scene. ”
Seeing that the fat man was also puzzled, Lao Sun lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "These people walked towards the valley mouth, but as they walked, Feng Xiaozi found that the hair of the person in front of him was gradually graying, and his back was also rickety. He hurriedly told the people in front of him to stop, it didn't matter if everyone looked at each other, everyone was aging dozens of years in an instant! ”
The fat man said movingly: "There is such a thing? ”
Lao Sun said: "A few guys were frightened and ran to the valley mouth with their might, Feng Xiaozi felt that this matter was strange, but he didn't stop it when he wanted to." Seeing that a few guys aged faster and faster the more they got to the exit, they finally died of old age in the 'Valley of Fallen Souls'. ”
Although the fights that Wu Xie and the fat man fought together back then were all extremely dangerous, it was unheard of to arbitrarily manipulate time like this. The fat man was aroused by his curiosity and urged: "What happened? ”
Lao Sun said to the important point, raised his eyebrows and said: "Just when this Feng dwarf was in a dilemma, the stone door of the ancient tomb behind him suddenly slammed loudly, and this Taoist priest Chen didn't know what means he used, and he actually broke out of the door. When he saw the situation in the valley, he did not panic, but took out a piece of talisman paper and closed his eyes in silent prayer. The rune paper seemed to come alive and floated on its own. ”
"The rune paper spun around twice in the air, then stopped in one place, and a humanoid 'ghost' gradually appeared in the place where it was originally empty."
The fat man suddenly said, "It turned out to be a ghost covering his eyes." ”
Lao Sun nodded and said: "This 'ghost' trick was recognized, and he immediately rushed towards people. I saw that this Taoist priest Chen was unhurried, took out several flying knives, and shot towards the 'ghost shadow'. Feng Xiaozi on the side said in his heart that this surnamed Chen was afraid that he would suffer a loss, and the real knife and gun were effective against hard zongzi, but they couldn't deal with this kind of intangible, substantial, and substantial. Unexpectedly, this 'ghost' was hit by a flying knife, and it actually let out a terrible scream, and it immediately disappeared. It turned out that this flying knife was engraved with a spell and stained with cinnabar, which was a magic weapon to restrain evil spirits. ”
There is an old saying in the industry: bullying the hard does not bully the soft. Hard refers to hard zongzi, which are tangible and qualitative, and can be seen and touched. Soft refers to soft zongzi, that is, evil spirits and the like, which are often tangible but not substantial.
Tufuzi's fear of soft zongzi is greater than that of hard zongzi. The ancients handed down many methods to deal with zombies, such as slashing and burning with knives. But there are few ways to deal with evil spirits, and if they do, they are often the secrets of family inheritance. Then there is the Taoist Yin and Yang Fu technique since the Qin and Han dynasties, but there are special requirements for the practitioner, not to learn and use, but to practice for a long time. Therefore, there are very few people who know how to expel evil spirits with Taoism.
"As soon as this 'ghost' disappeared, the scene in the valley immediately changed. It was dark, and it was the second half of the night. And Feng Xiaozi found that he had not aged at all, he walked to the valley mouth to check on a few dead guys, everyone was still the same, they were hallucinated and scared to death. ”
The fat man sneered: "These people cross the river and tear down the bridge, and they don't deserve a good death." ”
Lao Sun said: "Since this incident, the name of 'Taoist Chen' has been called on the road. And his real name is Chen Duxue, but few people know it. ”
