Of course, their exploration team had already noticed this problem more than ten days ago, and was working to sort out and collect relevant information, preparing to report it to the above, and then rectify it in accordance with the relevant instructions.

In addition, they have also received a notice from their superiors, knowing that they will send a professional underground river exploration team to come again, and they are preparing to contact through the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau.

Unexpectedly, the lone wolf came to the door by themselves, and the arrival of the lone wolf today happened to confirm some of their reasoning and conclusions.

In this way, the so-called supernatural incident of the Phoenix Ass Gate has come to an end. Of course, after Xiao Qingfeng and their affairs here came to a corresponding conclusion, they quickly disappeared from people's field of vision as usual. And all these exploration and research results are naturally attributed to the people brought by the lone wolf.

It's just that the weird and unpredictable ancient prohibition of the Phoenix Ass Gate has disappeared forever. Only the real supernatural stories that happened in the Phoenix Ass Gate are left, so that future generations will have endless legends and interpretations......

It is said that since then, the feng shui gentleman in the provincial city has asked the lone wolf to introduce Xiao Qingfeng to him several times, but he has also been rejected by Xiao Qingfeng and the lone wolf politely. Xiao Qingfeng had an indescribable feeling from his heart about these so-called masters and experts, and he didn't want to get too close to these people. This is because they seem to have departed from the true nature of a true cultivator, and they care too much about their identity and fame, and this just restricts their cultivation to a deeper realm. In the end, Xiao Qingfeng asked the lone wolf to give him a small poem that he wrote at will, which was a reply to him-

Dream Zeng Jin Ge Iron Horse, wounded and died 3,000 loyal souls.

The rivers and lakes are in a dilemma, where is the pure land.

The sword swings like a god, and it is easy to reason and sophistry.

The breeze smiled, and the Lingquan crane was faintly indifferent.

To be honest, the government's efficiency is really getting faster and faster. The research team brought by the lone wolf was less than half a month after they went back, and the deep pool of the Phoenix Ass Gate was seriously concerned by the relevant departments. Not only did two layers of steel mesh be sealed at the square wellhead below the deep pool, but also a two-meter-high wire guardrail was pulled up at the edge of the upper mouth of the deep pool.

In addition, an iron gate was specially installed in the east-facing position, and a striking warning sign was fixed on it, which read: "The pool is dangerous, it is strictly forbidden to approach!"

After more than three months, news came out again, saying that the deep pool at the Phoenix Ass Gate had returned to its original water level. At the same time, the White Horse Ancient Spring and the Old Turtle Pit are said to have gradually restored their original appearance.

I even heard that some old people near the old city village also ran to the vicinity of the old turtle pit in person, and superstitious incense was burned to celebrate, saying that the turtle of the old turtle pit had returned to continue to bless the people in this area.

In the afternoon of this day, Mengshan Turtle happily came to Xiao Qingfeng's home. After entering the door, he didn't drink two cups of tea honestly, so he begged Xiao Qingfeng: "My good marquis, please do something, you must agree?"

Xiao Qingfeng said: "Then you tell me what is the matter first, and see if I can do it." ”

Mengshan Turtle said: "You take me to catch wild scorpions tonight, I want to use them to make some medicinal wine, it is said that this wine is of some help to my body." In addition, don't worry, I only need a dozen large ones for medicinal purposes, and I will never catch them and sell them for money. Also, I don't mess with the big female scorpions and baby scorpions. ”

Xiao Qingfeng said: "Okay, since you understand it so well, let's go to Hongshigou in Huangshan after dinner." I also casually went to the deep pool of the Phoenix Ass Gate next to me to take a look to see if the water level there had returned to its earlier appearance. ”

Mengshan Turtle said: "Everything is easy to say, as long as you give an order, don't we all act immediately." As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and contacted the five of them to the dumb man, and everyone agreed to gather at Xiao Qingfeng's house at night, and prepare the corresponding tools to catch scorpions at night.

At less than eight o'clock in the evening, everyone arrived after dinner, and Jingxin and the doll each brought a big watermelon. In addition, everyone brought some simple capture tools, the doll found a few retired tweezers from the hospital, and the dumb man borrowed two special fluorescent lights. Mengshan Turtle directly turned out three bottles of mineral water in Xiao Qingfeng's home, drank all the mineral water, and then simply washed it with clean water, and it became a bottle containing scorpions.

It has just entered the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and although it is almost eight o'clock in the evening, the sky is still not completely dark. In addition, wild scorpions, which grow naturally in the mountains and hills, generally only start to crawl out of the rocks and burrows where they hide to feed freely until about 10 o'clock at night.

The most active time for these scorpions is usually from 10 o'clock at night to 2 o'clock in the morning, and during this time, you can easily spot them with a white glow as long as you use a professional fluorescent lamp. Then use medical tweezers or some homemade simple clips to gently clamp the tail of the scorpion, and you can put it into the prepared mineral water bottle.

Because the time was too early, everyone ate a big watermelon directly in the yard and casually chatted about some scorpion catching skills and interesting stories.

Among the seven of them, only Xiao Qingfeng, the mute, and the little Taoist priest really had experience in catching scorpions, and the other four didn't have any actual combat experience at all.

At the request of the doll, Xiao Qingfeng told everyone about some precautions for catching wild scorpions at night.

First of all, due to the high toxicity of wild scorpions, many people are stinged by their stingers, which will cause various degrees of poisoning symptoms, and may even cause serious series of reactions or even life-threatening. Therefore, when catching scorpions at night, be sure to wear long pants, gowns and sneakers, and tie up the hem of the pants underneath, and never let wild scorpions crawl into your clothes unknowingly.

Otherwise, once a wild scorpion happens to get into your clothes, and under the normal reaction of people, you must subconsciously slap directly, which will be miserable, because the toxicity of wild scorpion venom is not a joke.

Secondly, although the wild scorpion has not yet been listed as a wild protected animal, when it has extremely high medicinal value and edible value, driven by interests, the number of wild scorpions has also declined greatly in recent years. Especially from June to September of the lunar calendar, it is the breeding period of wild scorpions, and they reproduce every three years from generation to generation.

Therefore, do not catch large female scorpions in this season, because if you catch female scorpions on a large scale, it may cause the number of local wild scorpions to decrease and decrease, and eventually there will even be a phenomenon of depletion of the species.

Again, ordinary people catch scorpions, and they are only used for ordinary medicinal purposes and occasional consumption, and it is not recommended to sell them for money as much as possible.

Because, as an integral part of the ecological environment, wild scorpions must have an important ecological role, so they cannot be captured on a large scale. A real outdoor person is absolutely not allowed to violate the harmony of nature, let alone wantonly destroy the ecological balance of nature.

Finally, since the scorpion's main attack position is the stinger at the end of his tail, you can basically control it by simply clamping their tail with something when catching them. In addition, the stinger at the end of the tail of the shoe can only swing up and down and cannot swing left and right, so if you are quick and bold enough, you can also catch it directly with your bare hands, just pinch the end of its tail vertically.

But at this point, you also pay attention to the first team of pliers in front of it, and if it gets caught, it's not a joke. Although this pair of pliers is not poisonous, it is very aggressive, and can sometimes make a person's finger bloody.

After listening to Xiao Qingfeng's words, the doll stood up abruptly and kicked the tail vertebrae above the buttocks of the Mengshan turtle, and the Mengshan turtle almost didn't jump up.

I only heard the doll shouting and scolding: "You dead turtle, just shouting for me to find tweezers, and don't remind me to change into trousers, so that Sister Jingxin and I both come directly in skirts, you bastard!"

Everyone was happy when they saw it. But no, the two beauties probably thought they were catching golden cicadas and touching monkeys, so they came directly in beautiful skirts. Suddenly, everyone couldn't help laughing, so frightened that Mengshan Turtle also knew that he was wrong, hid behind the dumb man, and kept begging for mercy. also shirked Xiao Qingfeng's body vigorously, saying that Xiao Qingfeng had not explained clearly in advance, and he himself had no experience.

In the end, Xiao Qingfeng stood up and rounded the scene for him, saying that Hongshigou only let the two of them be responsible for holding the bottles, and specially arranged the most experienced mute to escort them. In the end, this calmed the anger of the cruel goddess of the doll.

After chatting for a while, it was almost half past nine, and everyone began to pack their things and prepare for departure. Since the Yellow Mountain is not far from here, everyone walked directly forward.

On the way, Doll and Jingxin really caught dozens of monkeys on the trees on the side of the road, as well as eight or nine golden cicadas that had just been transformed. Fortunately, everyone brought three bottles of mineral water, and one of them was just taken out to pretend to be a monkey. It may be because it rained just two days ago, but tonight there are more monkeys than usual.

At this time, the doll couldn't help complaining, saying that she had known that there would be so many monkeys tonight, and she should have come out to catch them a long time ago, which is the best local delicacy.

However, in recent years, due to the increase of pollution, especially the excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers, and the near-extinction of fishing, their numbers have also dropped rapidly, and now it is rare to see this wild monkey. Often running for two or three hours a night, it is very good to be able to catch a dozen or so. Most of the ones seen on the market are artificially raised, and the nutritional value is relatively poor.

In everyone's joy, everyone came to the red stone ditch in Huangshan with a smile. This red stone ditch is located in the northeast corner of the Yellow Mountain, and is connected to the top of the valley to the east of the famous Phoenix Ass Gate. And the small sand and gravel pile that was secretly blown up by Xiao Qingfeng not long ago is the approximate boundary between the two. That is to say, from the valley to the east of the Phoenix Ass Gate, the small sand and gravel pile at the end of the past, will reach the Red Stone Valley. Generally speaking, people who often go to Hongshigou regard the valley near the Phoenix Ass Gate as the Valley of Lost Souls, and they all regard it as a forbidden place.

This Hongshi ditch also has a long history, and it is a natural valley between the main peak of Huangshan Mountain and the extended and uplifted hills in the northeast. Its length from east to west is about two kilometers, and its width is about twenty or thirty meters. It is full of that kind of russet multi-layered flake stone, both the material and the color, and the limestone in other places in the Yellow Mountain is very different, it is the russet color that fills the valley, here is called the red stone ditch.

In the first few years, it was also said that the russet schist here may contain a rare and precious metal, which suddenly doubled the value of this small ravine. Later, there were really a few groups of people who came here and conducted several formal surveys here. But in the end, I don't know if it's not enough or some other reason, and it slowly disappears.
