Chapter Twenty-Five: Everyone Is Wrapped in a Cyclops Spider
Jia Qianqian didn't stop until her stomach couldn't stand it anymore. When the great wizard saw that she loved to eat, he told her that if the relics were recovered, he would invite her to eat the whole roasted sheep. Jia Qianqian knew that he would not be able to come back to eat roast mutton, so he asked the wizard to chop off the leftover roast leg of mutton, wrap it up and eat it after entering the mountain tomorrow.
The next day, the Great Wizard personally took three strong clansmen, prepared dry food, and followed Qianqian to find the holy relics. Jia Qianqian remembered the psychic white horse she had ridden last time, so she asked the great wizard for it, and the great wizard was also happy, promising her that if she helped find the holy relic, he would give her the white horse as well.
So, with the blessings of the whole clan, a group of six people began to look for holy relics.
Jia Qianqian wanted to bring some dry food with him, but he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the great wizard, so he had to pretend to be greedy and hold the leg of mutton, and finally prepared a little dry food for his life in the future. Walking along the foot of the mountain, Jia Qianqian was all strange along the way, in fact, he was racking his brains to think about how to escape from the control of these people. Although the Great Wizard did not tie Long Jie up, the fracture of Long Jie's right arm had not yet healed, and he could not beat the Great Wizard and the three fierce subordinates who were also strong in martial arts.
After a half-circle along the foot of the mountain, Jia Qianqian finally found the side of the hill where she had climbed out of the valley. Since there is no way to escape on the road, then take one step, count one step, and enter the mountain. Jia Qianqian pointed to the valley and said to the great wizard, "The guidance given to me by the gods is that if you enter from here, you can find holy relics. With a wave of his hand, the Great Wizard asked the people to bring dry food and raise the horses at the foot of the mountain. Their horses are very spiritual, they don't run around, they will graze at the foot of the mountain and wait for them to come back.
So, a clansman opened the way in front, the great wizard dragged Jia Qianqian, Long Jie followed by him, and the two clansmen behind broke off and began to crawl to the depths of the valley. Although Long Jie can't use force in his right arm, he is strong in martial arts, and it is not very difficult to get up, but Jia Qianqian, who has no martial arts, if it weren't for the great wizard dragging her up on the side, she wouldn't be able to keep up at all. Seeing that the sky was darkening, the great wizard suddenly said to Jia Qianqian: "Girl, if you dare to play tricks on us, you will be killed both here." ”
Jia Qianqian rolled her eyes and said helplessly: "What's the use of me lying to you?" I also had to rely on the guidance of the gods to find the holy relics. ”
Long Jie dragged Qianqian behind him and said coldly to the Great Wizard: "If you want to get the holy relic back, be kind to her, otherwise, you will never want to find the holy relic." ”
The Great Wizard looked around and said, "In that case, find a place to spend the night, and find it tomorrow." The group went down to the depths of the valley and prepared to find a flat and safe place to spend the night. Coming to the depths of the valley, the great wizard saw the steep cliff and suddenly said, "Is this cliff the place where you fell last time, girl?" ”
Jia Qianqian thought of that deep pool, and immediately had an idea, nodded and said: "Ah, I seem to have a little impression, that holy relic should have fallen in the pool water under the cliff." ”
As soon as the Great Wizard heard that he had found the lost place of the holy relic, he immediately asked everyone to hurry over there.
Coming to the edge of the deep pool, Jia Qianqian glanced at the place where the scepter was buried, but fortunately, everything was as it was. "Let's spend the night by this pool, and when it is daylight tomorrow, we will find a way to go into the water to find the holy relics."
The great wizard looked at the pool of water that he didn't know how deep it was, and began to worry, he and his people didn't know how to look for water, how could they go down and look for it? Jia Qianqian was secretly happy, anyway, I have already pointed out the place to you, and it is none of my business to find it in the water.
The Great Wizard had the people raise the fire, and everyone had eaten some dry food and prepared to rest. Because he had to camp in the open air, Long Jie was worried that Qianqian would be cold, so he took off his coat and shoulders and prepared to cover Qianqian. When he turned around, he found that the great wizard suddenly held Jia Qianqian hostage, pointed the scimitar at her neck, and said to him: "Obediently let them tie you up to sleep, if you don't want to, I will kill her." ”
Jia Qianqian stared at the bright blade in front of him, and said angrily: "Great wizard, you dare to kill me?" I am a man protected by the gods. ”
The Great Wizard suddenly smiled, "Little girl, do you think I'm a fool?" You must have fallen from it that day, just in the water, and you were able to survive unharmed, and the holy relic may have fallen into it because of this. As long as your companions are obedient, I will not embarrass you. "This great wizard is really not stupid, although his guess is not 100% correct, but it is almost the same.
Long Jie didn't dare to provoke the great wizard, and hurriedly said: "She's just a weak woman, you let her go, I'll let you tie it up." Then he put his clothes on the ground and said, "Qianqian, cover your body with this garment later, it will be cold at night, don't freeze to death." With that, he stood there and let the Nassi people tie themselves up.
Seeing that Long Jie was tied up, the great wizard let go of Qianqian. Qianqian rushed to Long Jie's side and hugged him, burying her head in his chest. In order to comfort her, Long Jie deliberately quipped: "Isn't it very moving?" Then marry me when you get out. Jia Qianqian suddenly raised his head and said, "What if we all die here?" ”
Long Jie said nonchalantly: "Then make a pair of Huangquan mandarin ducks." ”
The Great Wizard didn't want to see them talk to me, so he dragged Jia Qianqian over and tied her hands, so he ordered one person to keep vigil in the Sisli language, and the other two sandwiched Long Jie in the middle and slept peacefully. Although this great wizard is sometimes very fierce, he is not very ruthless, and he covers Qianqian's body with the shoulders that Long Jie has taken off. He didn't expect that it was this act of kindness that finally saved a few of his own people.
Jia Qianqian didn't want to sleep on the cold ground, so she sat by the fire and dozed off with her head on her knees. In the middle of the night, no matter how much people can't sleep, they all fall asleep in a hazy way. With no branches, the fire was extinguished. The Sisri men who were keeping vigil sat with their eyes wide open, looking around vigilantly, and after a long time, they relaxed, and although they did not close their eyes and dozed off, they no longer looked around. There was a faint sound of insects and beasts moving in the silent valley, and the man who was on the night watch didn't notice that behind him, a ball of meat was crawling towards him quickly.
When the Sisri man who was keeping vigil felt that he had been bitten by something, and when he turned to look around, he saw the black, unknown ball of flesh in the hazy light of the starry sky, and he wanted to scream out to find that he was speechless and could not move.
Subsequently, except for Jia Qianqian, everyone was paralyzed by the bite of the big meat ball, which seemed to be a little jealous of Jia Qianqian, and finally let her go. When the morning light penetrated into the valley, Jia Qianqian, who couldn't support the crooked lying on the ground in the middle of the night, woke up, curled up all night, her whole body was sore, she supported herself to get up, and when she frowned and looked at others, her eyes suddenly widened and froze. Oh, my God! The five people around him turned out to be like silkworm cocoons, wrapped in gray-white silver filaments and motionless.
Jia Qianqian, who was shocked, pulled the great wizard next to him with his bound fingers, and found that his hand was so glued that he almost couldn't take it away, and the eyes of the great wizard in the silk mesh were wide open, but he was motionless like a puppeteer. Could it be that they are all dead, Jia Qianqian was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Then, he stumbled to Long Jie's side and found that he also had the same expression as the Great Wizard.
At this time, the maker of all these masterpieces, the one-eyed spider, appeared. It didn't seem to dare to hurt Jia Qianqian, but just patrolled around for a while, looking at its food with satisfaction. Jia Qianqian saw the one-eyed spider weighing more than ten pounds, her face turned green with fright, and she stumbled back to the waterhole. She would rather jump into the deep pool to feed the fish than be eaten by this terrible spider.
I don't know if it's a blessing to the soul, Jia Qianqian suddenly remembered the old turtle in the deep pool, the last time he left, the psychic old turtle was still reluctant to give up with him. Immediately, while slapping the water with his bound hands, he shouted loudly: "Turtle, turtle, come out quickly!" Come out! ”
At this time, I saw that the waves gradually swelled on the surface of the water, and the old turtle, as if hearing her shout, slowly swam out. Jia Qianqian was so happy that tears came out, touched the head stretched out by the old turtle, pointed to the people who were wrapped into silkworm cocoons, and said anxiously: "Turtle, save my friend!" ”
When the one-eyed spider saw the old turtle coming out, he seemed to be very frightened of it, and hastened to retreat into the distance. The old tortoise slowly climbed ashore. Jia Qianqian pointed to the cobwebs wrapped around Long Jie, "Save him!" ”
The turtle turned around and crawled to the edge of the pool. Jia Qianqian suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Divine Turtle, Divine Turtle, won't you help me?" Will you not save them? But he saw the old turtle crawl to the edge of the pool, drank a lot of water, and then crawled back, spit out the water, and poured it on Long Jie. After a few moments, it began to tear open the cobwebs with its mouth. Jia Qianqian, who was on the side, hurriedly tried it with his hands again, and found that the cobweb, which was still amazingly viscous just now, was not sticky at all, so he hurriedly helped tear the cobweb.
However, although the cobwebs were no longer sticky, Long Jie was still lying there motionless with his eyes wide open. "Long Jie, Long Jie, don't scare me! You can't die. Jia Qianqian suddenly burst into tears, and tears fell on Long Jie's face like raindrops.
The old turtle climbed into the pool again, and gradually sank. Don't you even care about the Turtle? Jia Qianqian looked at the turtle that dived into the water with hazy tears in her eyes, despair enveloped her, could it be that last night's joke came true, she and Long Jie really wanted to be a pair of Huangquan Mandarin Ducks?
After a while, the old turtle crawled out again. It crawled to Jia Qianqian's side, bit and spit out a water clam in its mouth and spit it on the ground, revealing a white pearl inside. The old turtle touched the pearl with his mouth, and then touched Long Jie's mouth. Jia Qianqian immediately understood, and hurriedly stuffed the pearl into Long Jie's mouth. Slowly, Long Jie's eyes could turn. Jia Qianqian suddenly happily touched the old turtle's head and thanked him repeatedly. Although she had ropes tied around her wrists, her ten fingers could still move, and she hurried behind Long Jie to help him untie the ropes.
When the pearl completely melted in Long Jie's mouth, he was finally able to move a little and speak: "Qianqian, what the hell is going on?" ”
Jia Qianqian guessed for a moment and said, "There is a huge one-eyed spider here, you should all be poisoned by its bite, and then wrapped in spider silk by it." I don't know why it let me go, but it probably knows that I'm a friend of the Turtle, and you were rescued by the Turtle. ”
