Chapter 8: The Poison of the Locust Serpent
The one-eyed ghost carried a tree root in each hand, and the root of the tree was huge and pimpled, which was used as an axe. He strode over, pointed at Duan You and said, "Boy, uncle asked you, what is the relationship between you and Duan Zhen? ”
Duan was shocked, how could the one-eyed ghost ask this, did he already recognize him? Eight years ago, he only had two face-to-face shots, and he was still an eight-year-old child at that time, and his body had changed dramatically in the past eight years, even if his appearance had not changed much, but if he was not a person who got along day and night, how could he recognize him?
The one-eyed ghost snorted, and said, "Boy, the stick technique you used that day had the moves of the Duan family's stick technique, and you dare to say that it has nothing to do with Duan Zhen? You are Duan Zhen's little cub Duan You? Didn't drown that year?"
Duan You raised his head and said: "Yes, Duan Zhen is my father, I am Duan You! Back then, you hunted down and killed my whole family, and if you didn't take revenge, you were the son of man in vain! One-eyed ghost, what about my parents, what about my sister?" When he heard his father's name, his mood stirred and his voice became louder.
The one-eyed ghost said angrily: "Broken cub, dare to talk to the uncle like this, the uncle will abolish you first!" As he spoke, he struck at the roots.
Duan has a response.
This fight is different from three months ago. Three months ago, Duan You thought that his strength was stronger than that of the one-eyed ghost, and as soon as he got started, he attacked him in a storm, trying to defeat him quickly, but he almost suffered a big loss due to the light enemy. Now Duan has the Vedic Technique, and he is well prepared, and his strength has increased greatly, but he is no longer aggressive, and he has the idea of fighting against the one-eyed ghost for a long time.
The one-eyed ghost has a weapon in his hand, and he is mighty, but in Duan You's eyes, he is full of flaws. In the past eight years, Duan Youyou has been fighting with Tenzin every day, and the stick moves have been mellow and skillful, at this time, the one-eyed ghost is regarded as a dog, picking, sealing, poking, teasing, winding, and forcefully penetrating the stick, and the move is thorough, and after half an hour, the one-eyed ghost has pain in his legs and feet, his arms are bruised, and the roots in his hands can't be pinched.
Suddenly, the one-eyed ghost jumped backwards and said in a deep voice, "Boy, do you dare to fight me empty-handed? If you can catch me with three moves empty-handed, I will tell you about your parents." There was no longer the arrogance in his tone, and he obviously softened.
"Good!" Duan You didn't think about it, so he responded, and just tried the effect of practicing the Vedic palm technique. Seeing that the other party threw the tree root, he also threw the stick in his hand to the side.
The one-eyed ghost saw that Duan was deceived, and he was overjoyed, and said secretly: Boy, you are looking for death. Then he raised his arms and struck straight up and down.
Duan You dodged to avoid it, rolled on the momentum, and when he got up, he kicked out violently backwards, hitting the one-eyed ghost's knee, which was one of the back moves in Wei Tuozhang's seventh move "Cloud Broken Everest". As soon as the one-eyed ghost turned around, he was caught off guard by a kick, and the pain was unbearable, and he squatted on the ground.
Duan You said indifferently: "One move." ”
The one-eyed ghost snorted coldly, waved his hand into an axe, and forced Duan You to stop him step by step, his right palm slashed down diagonally, and his left palm was behind him, intending to hit him with a blow when he dodged left in the opposite direction, but Duan You's figure only shook to the left, but he suddenly came to the body, his left hand drew a semicircle to block his right arm, and his right palm hit his chest at the same time, which could shock him down.
What Duan has made this time is the correct move of Wei Tuo's eighth move, Bai Hongguan.
The one-eyed ghost was taken aback, and he couldn't imagine that in just three months, this black boy's martial arts would be so advanced! I thought that I would be able to win with my empty hands, but I didn't expect his palm to be so exquisite.
The one-eyed ghost groaned for a long time, making his bottom-pressing move "Tiger Standing on the Dragon Plate", his hands into claws, up and down, without dancing, his legs bowed slightly, and his feet drew a semicircle, forcing Duan You. Duan You couldn't find any flaws, so he had to retreat and fight.
The one-eyed man laughed and said, "Boy, uncle, I'll drag you to death." ”
Duan You said, "Not necessarily!" Suddenly he raised his toes, and a stream of sand hit the one-eyed ghost's face door, when the one-eyed ghost raised his hand to protect his eyes, Duan had a move "Ganges River into the sea", kicked his legs, flew up, protected the face door with one palm, and pointed into a sword with a fist, and hit his ribs with a pop, and the one-eyed ghost snorted and fell to the ground.
Duan You stood proudly and said, "The three moves have passed, say, where are my parents?" What about my sister? Also, have you seen Grandpa Chen? Why do you want to hunt us down, saying that you will not die today!"
The one-eyed ghost suddenly pulled a dagger from his boots, jumped up, and pounced on Duan You. Duan Youyou was startled, jumped back quickly, and at the same time, with a flick of his wrist, a stone flew away, smashing on the forehead of the one-eyed ghost, and blood flowed down, but he didn't care about it, he still chased after Duan You, like a mad demon, Tenzin pounced, he still crashed up, and his speed did not decrease.
Duan You was shocked, the one-eyed ghost was crazy! I saw that his eyes were blood-red, his face was full of blood, his hair was scattered, his mouth was roaring, his hand was wielding a dagger, his legs were like wheels, and his speed was like the wind, Tenzin couldn't catch up with him! Duan You was running wildly, thinking about strategies while flying rocks and sniping. But the one-eyed ghost ignored the flying stones, one of which had already hit him in the mouth, but he still chased after him as he spat out a mouthful of blood with teeth.
Duan You knew that the one-eyed ghost was the end of the crossbow, but if he caught up or caught him at this time, he would definitely be eaten alive, and fighting hard by himself would also be a lose-lose outcome. Crazy people are often so powerful that they can't be likened by ordinary ideals. If it goes on like this, it only takes an hour for the one-eyed ghost to fall to the ground from exhaustion.
Duan You specially selected sand dunes, ran straight up and down, and said in his heart, he had practiced for eight years, and climbing the sand dunes was like walking on the ground, and he could always climb down the one-eyed ghost tiredly.
After running a few dunes, the one-eyed man was still behind, and Tenzin was chasing after the one-eyed man. Duan You suddenly remembered that this one-eyed ghost was born in Mobei, and he dealt with the desert every day, and his kung fu of walking sand and climbing slopes was naturally quite strong, so he had to find another way.
Duan You suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he quickly ran towards the swamp by the Qingtu Lake.
In the past few years, Duan Youchang has been to the swamp and knows the situation there well, and at this moment, he remembered it in a hurry, and immediately decided to use the swamp to trap the one-eyed ghost!
The two mastiffs soon reached the edge of the swamp. Duan You made a brief observation, went straight to the sandbag where the locust had infested, and rushed to the swamp without touching the ground.
I heard a strange cry behind me, and when I looked back, I saw that the one-eyed ghost had fallen.
The one-eyed man struggled in the swamp, sinking deeper and deeper, and the muddy water soon reached his lower abdomen.
Suddenly, the one-eyed man pounced forward, leaned over the water, twisted and rolled, had pulled out his legs, and was about to rush, but with a scream, he jumped on the sandbag, convulsed for a while, and lay still.
After a while, I saw the one-eyed ghost still crawling there, as if unconscious. At that time, Veda had arrived on crutches, and when he saw it, he said that the one-eyed ghost had been poisoned by a locust snake.
Duan You walked on the sandbag and slowly walked to the one-eyed ghost, and saw that there were two clusters of red and purple skin on his neck, and the person had passed out. The flying stone hit his arm, but there was no response, and Duan You was shocked in his heart.
Wei Tuo raised his palm with his left hand and muttered, and after a while, he said that the poisonous gas quickly entered his heart, and he couldn't hold it for three or four hours, so he returned to the nest shop with Duan You and Tenzin.
didn't get the news of his parents and sister, Duan Youxin had a flaw, but after thinking about it, he and Wei Tuo and Tenzin would soon return to Liangzhou City, and they would naturally be relieved to inquire about it.
The next day, after Duan You practiced the Sun and Moon Mixed Yuan Gong, he walked towards the swamp, and the one-eyed ghost had a dagger and had to pick it up.
When he got to the edge of the swamp, Duan Youshu couldn't help but say "huh-", but when he saw the sandbags up and down yesterday, how could there be the shadow of a one-eyed ghost?
Was it taken away by a wolf?
But in eight years, Duan You had never seen a wolf. Veda said that there were wolves in the past, but since Tenzin came, the wolves in Qingtu Lake have moved.
Could it be that the one-eyed man rolled into the swamp and drowned?
Duan You carefully observed on the sandbag, and saw that where the one-eyed ghost crawled, there were traces of his movements, and there were two footprints, which went down from the sandbag, disappeared on the grass where they stood yesterday, and appeared on the sand on the shore, and the footprints were not large, almost one after another, stretching out in the lake.
Duan looked at the vast Qingtu Lake, and was surprised, the footprints were clearly one-eyed ghosts, and he didn't die? How did he come back to life? Could it be that he could detoxify?!
One-eyed ghosts can cure locust snake venom! It must be like this, he has lived in the desert since he was a child, and there are poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in Qingtu Lake, and there must be poisonous snakes in Mobei, and there are antidotes for poisonous snakes.
The one-eyed ghost's poison can be cured, and so can Veda's poison!
In the desert, as long as it is not windy, it is very easy to track down and chase people, not to mention that he has not escaped for a long time, and judging by his footprints, he is still very weak.
Duan You spread his footsteps and walked along the shore of Qingtu Lake, looking for footprints and observing hidden places such as grass, all the way. He concluded that the one-eyed ghost went into the water to prevent him from tracking, and if he walked a distance in the shallow water, he would definitely go ashore, and the lake was thirty or forty zhang deep from the shore.
This green earth lake is in the shape of a gourd, and the swamp is upstream. Duan You searched all the way to the bottom of the gourd, but there was still no trace of the one-eyed ghost. He looked at the sun, made a ruthless effort, continued to move forward around the bottom of the gourd, ran to find it, ran around the Qingtu Lake for a while, but still found nothing, until it was dark, and then returned to the nest, and his heart was doubtful and frustrated.
At night, hearing Wei Tuo moaning occasionally in his sleep, Duan You's heart was uncomfortable. In the past eight years, the old man's body has become weaker and weaker, although he has broken his leg, but the poison of the locust snake has entered the blood, has not been eradicated, and the poison is getting worse and worse, the whole body is covered with purple-black pustules, and when it is rotten, it spreads and the skin is necrotic. In this case, time is running out.
Duan You tossed and turned, suddenly thought of something, and sat up suddenly: How did the one-eyed ghost know that there were locust snakes in the swamp of Qingtu Lake? Even if he knew, he could avoid it, and he couldn't have expected to meet Wei Tuo and him in advance, let alone be led to the swamp by someone. What does this mean?
It means that he can't bring an antidote, he must be detoxified on the spot!
