Ghost Valley Relic Palace Chapter 16 Grimace Spider
I leaned over and saw a wooden sign nailed to the bush with some strange symbols on it.
Professor Wu motioned for Lin Qian to pull it out and study it, but who knew that this thing looked like it was growing in the soil, and Lin Qian couldn't pull it out because he was so stunned that he couldn't pull it out.
As soon as Jin Hu saw this situation, he took his hand and pulled it a few times, but it was only barely pulled up a little, and Professor Wu saw that it might damage the brand if he continued like this, so he hurriedly told them to stop.
Seeing that it didn't work, Professor Wu asked them to use a sapper shovel to slowly dig down from the perimeter of the wooden sign.
This excavation took more than half an hour, and it was not until the stone layer below appeared that the sign was completely excavated.
I took out a ruler and measured it, good fellow! It is more than two meters long, and it is full of carved symbols.
Professor Wu studied for a long time and couldn't figure out the meaning of these symbols, and the four eyes guessed if it would be another landmark, while Han Sen said that he often saw some primitive religious symbols when he was exploring outside, and he estimated that it might be some kind of religious symbol.
Just as everyone was speculating, Qin Xuanling, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "That's the symbol of the Guigu Gate. ”
Guigu Gate? I said in my heart that I have only heard of Guiguzi, when did such a sect emerge again.
Qin Xuanling then explained, "Guigumen is a disciple organization founded by Mr. Guiguzi, which originated in the Warring States period. At first, his purpose was to train talents to help the nobles of various countries, so later generations called Guiguzi's protégé the Zonghengjia.
Because these protégés have the true inheritance of Guiguzi and are familiar with the way of governing the country and using soldiers, they are very popular with the rulers of various countries. Among them, the most famous are Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Su Qin and Zhang Yi, while Xu Fu is a close disciple of Guiguzi.
But at the end of the Warring States Period, as Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and followed the ideological strategy of the Legalists, Guiguzi's protégés were gradually suppressed and could not raise their heads.
As a result, Guigumen evolved into a political alliance and began to engage in small-scale political activities in various places.
And one of the small schools that was unwilling to engage in politics attacked Guiguzi's Five Elements Yin and Yang Technique, hiding in the folk cultivation. Later, the disciples of this faction began to do some exorcism and demon exorcism in order to eat, and now the so-called Maoshan Sect and Zhengyi of Taoism, including our Longmen Dao, have to call them the ancestors.
With the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the Guigumen gradually disappeared, some say they were disbanded in the war, others say they went underground and became a secret organization, but in any case, this school still had a great influence on the society of the Qin and Han dynasties.
The symbols you see now are the signs of the Guigu Gate, indicating that this mountain forest is the place where the Guigu Gate is used to preach and cultivate arts. ”
After listening to Qin Xuanling's explanation, Professor Wu couldn't help but be curious: "Where did you know these things?" ”
Qin Xuanling smiled slightly and said, "You will be clear in the future." ”
Let's sum it up, since this wooden plaque is the sign of Guigumen, according to Qin Xuanling's explanation, Xu Fu is a disciple of Guiguzi, then Xu Fu's disciple must also be a disciple of Guigumen, which further shows that we are not in the wrong place.
Everyone was already a little tired after searching separately for a long time, and when they saw that there was substantial progress, they couldn't help but be a little happy, so they simply leaned under the big tree to take advantage of the coolness.
Suddenly, I saw something flash in the bushes next to me, and I was so frightened that I immediately jumped up from the spot.
Almost at the same time, Qin Xuanling turned around and chased after him, and it wasn't until five or six meters away that we could see clearly that it was a red-haired beast.
The red-haired beast looked like both a boar and a badger, and roared under its mouth with its blood spurting wide.
But Qin Xuanling was not an idle person, he kicked the red-haired beast with a flying leg and lost his breath on the spot, so fast that people couldn't even detect when he landed on his feet.
Before we could recover our senses, Xiao Qian suddenly screamed in the back, and then we saw countless red-haired beasts coming from all directions with bad intentions.
In an instant, a cold sweat broke out on my head, and even ten Qin Xuanling might not be able to cope with this situation.
Professor Wu and the others were also panicked when they saw the situation in front of them, and they all got up from the ground and formed a circle towards the periphery to prevent being attacked by the red-haired beast.
Golden Tiger originally brought two shotguns, which were the most suitable weapons to deal with beasts, but this big-hearted guy didn't bring them with him at the camp.
I hurriedly asked Qin Xuanling what to do, and he said that in this case, it was best not to act rashly and see the situation clearly.
Jin Hu said, when the is it, still look at the situation of a fart, hurry up and find a way to escape!
At the critical moment, Han Sen took out the kerosene used for ignition in his backpack and quickly poured it on his clothes.
Then he wrapped his garments around the branches of a tree and made torches and lit them, and shouted to us, "All beasts are afraid of fire, light them quickly!" ”
As a result, this trick really worked, and as soon as the fire burned, the red-haired beasts around them obviously retreated several steps.
Everyone took off their coats one after another, and made a torch out of Han Sen's example.
Unexpectedly, accidents followed one after another, and the army that had been standing outside the circle may have suffered from heat stroke because the weather was too hot, and suddenly fell to the ground on their backs.
The red-haired beasts around saw the opportunity and quickly pounced, and in the blink of an eye, the army was dragged out of the circle by them.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, and the speed of those red-haired beasts, everyone just watched the army being dragged away by them but there was nothing they could do.
However, this is not the end, and then Qin Xuanling yelled again: "Be careful, there are monsters!" ”
As soon as his words fell, two grimace spiders almost the size of an off-road vehicle appeared on the redwood tree next to him. This big spider has to be a sperm, it's so big! ”
What's even more terrifying is that while we are all stunned by these two ghost-faced spiders, the army is suddenly hoisted like marionettes by a spider silk straight to the top of the tree.
I saw that the hands and feet of the army were still struggling, and it seemed that they were still conscious, so I hurriedly glanced at Qin Xuanling.
Qin Xuanling immediately jumped up from the ground, and jumped onto the redwood tree next to him with a footwork similar to Wudang Tiyun Zong.
But the two grimace spiders moved extremely fast, and before Qin Xuanling could climb to the top of the tree, they spit out the poisonous silk in their mouths and stuck to the opposite tree, rolling up their army and swinging to the opposite side like apes.
Qin Xuanling still wanted to chase after him, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to watch the army being led farther and farther away by the two grimace spiders, and finally completely disappeared from view.
At this time, everyone was a little difficult to protect themselves, and they couldn't take care of the safety of the army for a while.
Looking back at the red-haired beasts around them, they didn't mean to retreat at all, and the torches made by everyone were almost burned out.
But the strange thing is that these things never attack us, they just surround us.
Do they serve another purpose? With this in mind, I asked Qin Xuanling, who had just climbed down from the top of the tree, if the red-haired beast was afraid of something.
Qin Xuanling told me that it wasn't that they didn't dare to come up, but that he had already sprinkled out a kind of medicinal powder, which could confuse the noses of wild beasts and make them lose the ability to distinguish between friend and foe.
In the wild, many animals rely on their noses to distinguish their prey from their own kind, and destroying their sense of smell is no different from poking their eyes open.
But we still can't act rashly, and once we provoke them, it's not a joke, and the row of fangs on their mouths alone is enough for us to drink a pot.
Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate, Professor Wu asked everyone if they had any good ideas to get rid of these things as soon as possible.
Han Sen said: "The only way to deal with fierce beasts in the wild is to use guns and fire attacks to get rid of them. ”
Professor Wu shook his head and said, "Even if so many red-haired beasts order our pants, it is not enough, and there are not many dry branches on the ground, how can we make it?" ”
In a flash of lightning, a thought quickly flashed through my mind, if there wasn't enough fuel and not enough dry branches, what if I set the whole jungle on fire?
Then I called Qin Xuanling and asked him to help go to the top of the tree to pick a few dry branches, and he seemed to understand what I meant, and then used his skills to climb up to the top of the tree and fold a few large sections of dry branches and throw them down.
Han Sen thought that this was for everyone to burn, so he hurriedly poured some kerosene on it.
Just as he picked up those branches and was about to light the fire, I snatched them up, and I said, what's the point of just burning a little bit, why don't you have some excitement?
Han Sen asked me inexplicably, what am I going to do?
I told him word by word: "Burn-bush-forest!" ”
