Chapter 246: Praying Mantis Catches Cicada
Until one day, he overheard an old Taoist who traveled to say that the ghost cave hidden on Lianyun Mountain where he was back then turned out to be a cave blessed land that Zhuang Zhou, one of the founders of Taoist thought had practiced.
And legend has it that even to this day, you can still see a strange colorful butterfly inside, and it is said that it is these colorful butterflies that triggered the classic "Zhuang Zhou Dream Butterfly" theory.
So Yu Yi immediately returned to Lianyun Mountain, and according to the guidance of the old Taoist, he finally found this ghost cave. Since then, he has been practicing in this for a long time, and after more than ten years of pondering, he finally cracked the hallucinogenic magic of this natural "Crystal Demon Palace".
After that, he began to retreat in the stone room where everyone is now located, and began to cultivate the true enlightenment path more profoundly. Later, he had a whim, and on top of the natural "Crystal Demon Palace", he specially extended and designed a more powerful prohibition of the Xuankong Nine Palaces.
And according to the specific situation here, he specially refined thirty-six Soul Resurrection Pills and stored them in his treasure gourd in case of emergency.
In his old age, he suddenly remembered that he still had a huge treasure hidden under the old mansion of his family. At this time, his descendants had already moved to other places because of their fame, leaving only an empty old mansion.
At this time, he suddenly had a childlike heart, and secretly moved those treasures into the stone room behind him in batches, thinking that he would leave these things for those who could break his ban in the future. Moreover, the person has to have enough respect for him to really see these treasures.
In addition, to everyone's imagination, he actually smeared a layer of highly poisonous poison on the conspicuous treasures on the surface, as long as the person who entered had the slightest secret thought, he would immediately die under the poison.
Only if you can completely suppress your greed, find the mechanism in the small stone niche, and close the stone door again, can you finally see this crucial ancient book. After learning that the treasures on the surface must not be touched, he was able to truly reopen the small stone door and finally get most of the treasures inside.
And maybe it's really the providence of heaven in the dark, and all of this today has been cracked one by one by the brothers of the Nine Immortals. Even at the most critical juncture, in the face of a huge amount of treasure, everyone held back their greed and passed this fatal hurdle safely.
In the end, after everyone sighed and sighed, Xiao Qingfeng said lightly: "To be honest, we didn't really break the supreme ban of this senior this time, everyone just luckily took advantage of the special equipment of the Ah Lang brothers, and then they bumped in step by step." In fact, if it weren't for those magical pills left by this predecessor in advance, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to pass through the 'Crystal Demon Palace' outside smoothly so far. Therefore, we did not have a complete victory today, but we just escaped a catastrophe by luck, and no one should be complacent and complacent in the future! I still say that after going out from here, no one is allowed to show off outside at will, and not even allow any details of this place to be leaked out a bit!"
Lone Wolf said: "What Brother Qingfeng said is extremely true, all of us must strictly abide by our consistent principle of the Nine Immortals, and do not proliferate the relevant details of any action. ”
Hearing the two of them emphasize so repeatedly, everyone said that they were determined to strictly abide by discipline, and no one would leak any details to outsiders.
In this way, everyone simply cleaned up and began to retreat outside. After all the others left this dark stone chamber and passed through the "Crystal Demon Palace" smoothly. Xiao Qingfeng left the Mengshan turtle alone, and the two of them specially studied the secret door that the prodigal son knocked open, and specially restored it.
Not only that, Xiao Qingfeng also had two extremely dangerous prohibitions arranged outside, and it was impossible for anyone to easily break them except for the two of them.
After the inside was completed, everyone quickly withdrew to the cave entrance together. Of course, in the process of retreating, Xiao Qingfeng put away one-third of the pills that everyone had in their mouths again, and this precious treasure pill must not be wasted at will. Moreover, no one is allowed to hide privately, otherwise no one knows who will do anything unexpected in the face of the temptation of such a huge treasure.
When Xiao Qingfeng put away all the pills and stored them in a sealed bag, and prepared to hand them over to the lone wolf together with the small gourd, the prodigal son who was opening the way in front suddenly stopped vigilantly. Not only that, but he also used sign language to imply that everyone immediately stopped advancing, and quickly alternated cover and retreated backwards urgently, there should be something abnormal in front, or there was some obvious safety hazard.
Seeing that the prodigal son was so nervous, everyone reacted quickly and accordingly, and each entered their best defensive positions in an orderly manner according to the tacit understanding they had made earlier. Of course, at this time, for the sake of safety, Xiao Qingfeng did not continue to hand over the little gourd to the lone wolf, but properly stored it himself.
At this time, the lone wolf used a code word to ask everyone to turn off their watch sights, so that the enemies outside could observe everyone's every move through the watch sights in the dumb man's hands. Then he asked everyone to search carefully around the entrance, and sure enough, on the cave wall at the entrance, he soon found three extremely concealed remote control cameras in disguise, which completely confirmed the judgment of the prodigal son.
After these were cleared, Xiao Qingfeng carefully used a freely adjustable miniature probe to stretch out of the cave and search around, but found no other abnormalities on the cliff wall outside.
At this time, Xiao Qingfeng asked in a low voice, "Ah Lang, how did you determine that an outsider had invaded the entrance of the cave in the first place?"
The prodigal son replied with the liquid crystal display of his armor: "Just now when I went in to look for you, just in case, I not only strengthened the emergency interception net to deal with emergencies, but also deliberately arranged some inconspicuous-looking pebbles on the ground of the passage outside the interception net. But now I found that the pebbles on the ground must have been trampled and kicked artificially, because most of their positions were out of order. It certainly wasn't caused by a cross wind in the mountains or some other external force, so I'm sure someone must have snuck in just now. And according to the chaotic condition of the pebbles on the ground, they should not be one person, at least two or three people. It's just that after they entered, they saw the interception net we specially arranged, and they knew that we had already taken precautions, so they did not rush in, but chose to retreat temporarily. ”
After reading the prodigal son's reply, everyone was shocked and couldn't help but secretly sigh that the prodigal son is really becoming more and more mature.
At this moment, Jing Xin also whispered: "What Ah Lang said is good, not only that, but even the three main ropes outside the cave seem to have been moved. Originally, when we entered the cave, the doll and I fixed them, but now their position has changed slightly, which means that someone must have come up to move them, or they came up with these three main ropes. ”
After meditating on the finished speaking, I saw Xiao Qingfeng tell everyone in secret words: Let the prodigal son continue to stay in the same place to be on guard, and the others temporarily retreat to the position of the second small cave hall, and wait there to make detailed plans for the next step.
After everyone quickly retreated to the second small cave hall, the lone wolf first said: "I feel very wrong today, it stands to reason that it should never appear, someone copied it."
The situation on our back road. Besides, we also left two people on guard outside, and the two of them are not mediocre hands, and it is difficult for ordinary people to take them down easily. What's more, what kind of temperament is our cold-faced judge, he definitely doesn't allow anyone to casually intrude into our area of action. ”
The little Taoist priest said: "This is also the truth. ”
Lone wolf said: "In addition, our operation this time can be regarded as very secretive, and there are only a handful of people who know the inside story, even if it is the local police, there are only two of them, my senior brother and that Xiao Lin Hua." As for the old forest with a broken arm, people look like a strange man who hides in the mountains and forests, and he will never do such a thing. Besides, he is a lonely old man, and he does not have such power and scheming in the past, so he carefully laid out such a situation. ”
The little Taoist priest said: "Then there is only one possibility left, that is, there is a problem with that senior brother of yours, or it is directly that Lin Hua who has a problem." We were calculated by them, and inadvertently became other people's pawns and pathfinders, and it is very likely that all of this was originally a huge conspiracy of theirs. It is very likely that they have found out that there is indeed a treasure in it, but they can't really crack the mysterious prohibition inside, so they carefully arranged it and asked us to help them crack the prohibition inside. Then the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and when everything is done well, they show up to pick up a ready-made bargain. If we are still like the original people, we also become crazy people, or fall off a cliff and die, they will not lose the slightest, it is a big deal to find a way. As for our accident, they naturally helped us think of a variety of explanations, and they will definitely do it seamlessly. ”
The doll also said excitedly: "Yes, I can't think of any other reason besides this explanation." Damn, these bastards dare to openly take advantage of us, and they are certainly not ordinary underworld organizations. ”
Speaking of this, the doll suddenly remembered their relationship with the lone wolf, and quickly explained: "Brother wolf, don't be angry, we are just talking about things." After all, you brothers and sisters haven't been together for so many years, and no one can guarantee that there will be any big changes, maybe he is really the kind of powerful character who eats black and white. In today's society, there is no possibility, and even some high-ranking officials at the provincial and ministerial levels do not say that they will be dismissed, and in the final investigation, who can say clearly which is not the mastermind behind the heinous crimes!"
Laughing Maitreya said: "Okay, now it's nothing to be afraid of who is calculating and following us behind our backs, after all, the eight of us brothers are still safe and sound, and they can't play any tricks." Don't care too much about them, it's a big deal to see the tricks and make a big deal with them. But now the first thing we have to consider is, what is the situation of the second brother of the judge above, when I turned off the watch mirror at the entrance of the cave just now, I found that the situation on his side was abnormal. I guess he must have encountered some unexpected situation, in order not to expose our situation, he took the initiative to destroy the equipment. ”
Mengshan Turtle said: "In addition, we have not prepared enough food and drinking water, and we have not applied for the corresponding weapons and equipment, so we have to go down first anyway." Maybe it's just a false alarm today, maybe our nerves are too nervous, and I suggest going down first. Anyway, all of us are still fighting power, even if something really happens, we can rush out on the spot. ”
Jing Xin said: "Actually, I'm also a little biased towards Ah Turtle's statement, maybe it may really be the backup force of the police, after all, we have been in the cave for two or three hours, and they are worried outside, so they invited backup again, which is also reasonable." ”
