Chapter 108, Insect Catcher
I nodded and said, "I see! ”
The smell of centipede grass can attract centipedes here, as long as the number of centipedes increases, then there will naturally be rare centipedes, and there should also be the kind of big red centipedes that Hua Xue carried before.
Hua Xue said: "If you bring my family's golden tripod and light it with centipede grass, maybe you can attract the white jade centipede." ”
I was puzzled and asked, "What is the Golden Ding?" What is a white jade centipede? Hua Xue even said two names, and they sounded very powerful.
Hua Xue said: "The Golden Tripod is a small copper furnace that is not too big, and if you put centipede grass in it, it will produce a unique smell, which can lure out the centipedes hidden in the deep mountains." And the white jade centipede is the most precious and powerful centipede, the whole body is white, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the king of centipedes. ”
My head turned, it turned out that there were so many doorways inside the centipede, so it seems that the family of Huaxue should be a family that has studied centipedes for many years and specializes in raising things, they have all kinds of mysterious magic weapons, as well as rare centipedes.
I asked, "Have you ever seen a white jade centipede?" ”
Hua Xue shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it, I heard my family say that there was a white jade centipede in Guizhou, but I don't know who caught it later, and it never appeared again." ”
It seems that the white jade centipede is very valuable and very rare, and even Hua Xue, who often deals with centipedes, has never seen a white jade centipede.
I asked, "Then who is in your family's golden tripod, can't you find the white jade centipede if you go to Guizhou?" ”
"My grandfather originally passed it on to me, but my grandmother snatched it...... I want to give my cousin ......" Hua Xue was stunned for a moment, realized that she had talked too much, and whispered: "Don't talk about the white jade centipede, I feel that a centipede is out of the hole, see if I can catch a powerful centipede......"
I saw that Hua Xue didn't want to talk about the white jade centipede and the golden tripod anymore, so I didn't ask any more, and held the little white dog tightly, so as not to be greedy for fun, and jumped up to bite the centipede to play without waiting for the centipede to come.
After about seven or eight minutes, there was a black shadow and a slight movement from the mud in the west. I couldn't help but lean out and look over, and there were about a dozen centipedes crawling over, with thin legs, but they were all very small.
I said, "Here you go, is there a poisonous centipede you want?" ”
Hua Xue looked at it for a while and said, "It's very small, almost no toxicity, if you bite someone, you will leave a bite mark, there will be no harm, wait a while." I believe that the mighty centipede is always the last to appear. ”
When the black and small centipede came up, it gathered around the incense burner, forming a circle, and it was very quiet and did not move again. My palms were covered with sweat and I waited nervously. After more than ten minutes, I saw seven or eight big red centipedes appear, and three of them met Hua Xue's requirements.
When the big red centipede approached, Hua Xue put on deerskin gloves, ran up quickly, and landed in the centipede group.
Hua Xue shouted: "Xiao Kang, it's a pity that the size is not too big, I want to wait for it to get dark, catch a few more unique centipedes and go back, Uncle Fat won't blame us." ”
I thought for a while and said, "Anyway, we're near Camellia Mountain, and we'll be back soon." He shouldn't blame us. ”
Hua Xue said: "Okay, let's go to the west mountain, it's more humid there, centipedes like wet places, there will be." ”
I walked a few steps, afraid that the fat uncle would be worried, after all, the situation was uncertain these days, so I still sent him a letter.
I picked a leaf and wrote on it with a pointed stone: We'll go back later, don't worry.
After I finished writing, I asked the little white dog to bite the leaves and send the message back.
We circled around the camellia mountain, and when we reached the west mountain, the sun had gradually sunk in the west, and the camellia mountain began to smoke.
Hua Xue observed the surrounding environment, found a vacant lot, asked me to help, and dug a small pit thirty centimeters deep in the middle of the clearing.
I was curious and asked, "What is this for?" ”
Hua Xue smiled mysteriously and said, "Wait a while when it's dark, you'll know what I'm going to do, just wait and see." ”
Hua Xue still wrapped the dried centipede grass around the incense, inserted the incense in the middle of the pit, and deliberately broke some branches and covered the pit to finish all this. Hua Xue and I hid on a rock.
This is when the sun has sunk in the west, and soon it is hidden under the mountains, and the light is getting dimmer and dimmer, and dusk is coming. I waited patiently, and there was fine sweat on Hua Xue's forehead.
The first batch was still the black and small centipede attracted by the smell, and the second batch was the big red centipede, the small centipede fell into the pit, but the big red centipede did not fall into it.
It was completely dark, and I could see the fire of Camellia Mountain in the distance, but I couldn't see it up close.
Hua Xue was still waiting intently, and she had no intention of leaving, so I had to accompany her.
More than ten minutes passed, and just as the incense and centipede grass were about to burn, some faint blue light came out of the grass in the distance.
Hua Xue grabbed my hand nervously and whispered, "Here, this centipede is hidden very deeply, and the smell of centipede grass wafts in for a long time before it can attract them, so it will take some time." ”
I felt sweat on Hua Xue's hands.
I was a little surprised when the blue centipede approached, these centipedes were pure black, not much different from ordinary centipedes, except for the blue light on their bodies.
The last centipede to come up was very cautious, and did not rush up in one breath, but crawled for a while and then stopped for a while.
I whispered, "This is a centipede, so cautious." ”
Hua Xue said: "This is a unique centipede, which grows on the grave and feeds on yin qi and carrion, you can call them the blue centipede, it crawls on the body, it will bring yin qi to people's bodies, and it will consume people's yang energy." ”
In this way, this blue centipede is quite good, and it can be used against people, but it is a powerful weapon.
They haunt graves, which is why they glow blue. I've heard people say that there will be a blue ghost fire on the grave, which can be fluttered in the wind.
Hua Xue took out a cup from the back basket, quietly opened the lid, and shouted, "Xiao Kang, you go around from there, drive them to my side, and try to feel the pit." I put them in a cup. ”
I gently pressed against the ground and moved slowly, trying to avoid making noise. Every step was cautious, and I went around to the side and watched the snow from afar.
Hua Xue waved her right hand and shouted, "Do it!" ”
I clapped my hands and shouted, "Get into the pit, get into the pit." "Every shout was clapped vigorously and loudly. The blue centipede was not very bold, and when it heard the movement, it began to crawl around. And the snow began to drive away.
There was a blue centipede that wanted to run away, but I saw Hua Xue propping up on the ground with one hand, and a mid-air flip ran over, and her eyes were quick and she put the blue centipede into the cup.
I was slightly shocked in my heart, I didn't expect Hua Xue's skills to be so good, much more flexible and athletic than ordinary girls.
Hua Xue caught a blue centipede and drove it around. I was stunned for a moment, followed and drove away, and finally escaped three blue centipedes, and six more fell into the pit.
Hua Xue quickly grabbed the blue centipede from the pit, put them all in a cup, and screwed the lid on. I have a hole in the middle of the lid that allows air to circulate freely.
Hua Xue said: "It's finally worth the trip, seven dark blue centipedes, plus three big red centipedes, we can go home." Hua Xue's joy is beyond words.
I can feel that Hua Xue has a natural affinity for centipedes. Her insect fishing techniques and her proficiency in catching centipedes are more powerful than those of ordinary adults, which shows that she was trained when she was very young and has been dealing with centipedes since she was a child.
Hua Xue's family should be a family that deals with centipedes, and Hua Xue's childhood should have been a frequent deal with centipedes. Looking at her closeness to centipedes, dealing with centipedes should be very happy.
I said, "After catching three big red centipedes and seven dark blue centipedes, you are really powerful, much stronger than me." I'm afraid I won't be able to catch any of them, so let's go back. ”
Just as Hua Xue and I were about to return, we suddenly felt the wind blowing around us, and the leaves were swaying wildly. I felt a dark shadow sway behind us, and there was a pair of eyes watching us in the dark.
"Someone, get out of here!" I shouted, "Hugh is going to pretend to be a ghost in front of the little master!" ”
