Chapter 45 The Black Pipa
Partridge Whistle saw the mountain scorpion has been forced out of the coffin, will pull out another German-made, want to shoot a result of its life, but see three male chickens and giant scorpion fight is tight, covering the angle of the shooting, this time the grave robbers are inseparable from the Nu Ching chicken against poisonous zombies, since it can not be easy to hurt it’s life, had to calm down in the side of the fight.
At this time, see that the mountain scorpion back suddenly bulge a group, even the back shell to hold up a few want to transparent, the mountain scorpion seems to be crazy general all around, suddenly a muffled sound like cracking, scorpion back from which cracked open, from which a wisp of white gas, the shape of which is like mercury, forced the “Jade Rabbit”.
Moving mountain Taoist grave robbers use “moving mountain split armor art”, in the eyes of the world seems to be mysterious, but its attainments are not away from the “birth and grams control” way, this time into the Bottle Mountain grave robbers, it is because of the medicine in the mountains of more poisonous mirage insects and miasma, and only from the nearby Golden Wind Walled Village in the search of the “angry clear chicken”. “Nu Ching chicken”, the shade of the mountain latent form of the hundred poison, are not its opponent, but the night is thick, the fierce nature of the cock first since the reduction of half, a moment of patience is not as resistant as the mountain scorpion drilled out of the coffin.
Partridge whistle and other people stand in a dozen paces away to watch the battle, only to see that the belly wide back thick mountain scorpion madness, but the left and sudden can not get out, and finally the whole body suddenly curled up, the back cracked a huge slit, from which a cloud of white fog to, straight up and down to gather and not scattered, the three roosters although also fight red eyes, but see the mountain scorpion suddenly appeared unusual, could not help but be surprised, and do not know its reality, they will immediately split the head to avoid.
Partridge whistle saw the scorpion back out of the white mist odd, also quickly waved the red girl and hole barbarian back a few steps, then the mountain wind brushed, dissolved the white mist, but see that the mountain scorpion from the back of the spine cracked, as if open a black hole in the mouth, which crawled out of a small white scorpion from the mother scorpion back to break free from the scorpion, jumping around and escaping.
Back completely ruptured mountain scorpion, like a broken armor sac like ambush on the ground, no longer move, has been dead for a long time, the angry clear chicken see from the mother scorpion back climbed out of many red and white scorpion, between them is the nature of the natural enemy, which will not let go of, and immediately Shu Yu drums wings, swooped up to the small scorpion one by one to tear and peck and swallowed into the belly, the remaining two male chickens also successively on the front in a moment to dozens of scorpion wind swept away a clean. Clean, did not let it go off half, all buried in the chicken belly.
Especially the mother mountain scorpion at the time of birth, but also like to drill coffins and grave soil.
There is a folk saying around Laohuoling that “scorpions have no mothers since they were small”, and local scorpions only give birth once in a lifetime, from the back, and when they give birth to a baby scorpion, that is when the old scorpion dies, so orphans in the villages in western Hunan who have no family members are called “scorpion children” by mountain people. “The mother scorpion burrows into a dead body.
Mother scorpion drilled into the coffin with a corpse, is due to the shadowy corpse gas, which can make it temporarily relieve the pain of the death of the back crack, most of the local mountain people know that the mother scorpion a tire of small scorpions, traditionally are “thirty six” number, not more, not less, just the number of a deck of dominoes, so there are also commonly known as mountain scorpion for the “dominoes”. “dominoes”.
Partridge whistle has never before come to the old bear ridge this fierce hole of the land, although he is widely known, but also do not know things, the local mountain scorpion peculiar habits and do not understand, listen to the hole savage guide said the root of the seedling, which is only to know, but he saw the bottle of the mountain has rare medicinal stones, the mountain is also hidden in the poisons are also strange and different shapes, how to pay attention to a lot of this, as long as the identification of the birth of a road, with a few chickens into the mountains, the material is also not prevented.
Partridge whistle saw three male chickens snatched dozens of small scorpions, after satiation, the look is more atrophied, then ordered the hole barbarians will catch them back to the bamboo basket, he himself and the red girl went up to check the things in the coffin.
The two carry a sword and gun to the coffin, first looked at the bottom of the coffin pressed old ape, purple gold coffin bottom cast eight beasts to lift the coffin, are thick scaly half man half beast appearance, lift the coffin scales monster not only appears to be the coffin in the corpse status of respectability, but also in the chamber of the role of the moisture-proof, so that the purple gold coffin from the ground a little higher piece of the chamber if seeped into the rain, even if a moment of difficult to exhaust, but also to the coffin will not be soaked and drowned.
The body of the white hair of the old ape was the coffin smashed in the local, fortunately, the bottom of the coffin has a beast to lift the coffin of the structure, from the ground there is still such a gap, and the dense forest more than the rain hit down the defeated leaves, paved the ground sheer thick, coupled with this white ape sinews and bones stubborn and healthy, under a heavenly tribulation, actually not dead, but it is injured since it is also not light.
Partridge whistle stooped down, with a horse lamp to the bottom of the outer coffin, only to see that the white ape mouth and nose are flowing blood, pressed in the bottom of the motionless, has been as dead in general.
Partridge whistle thought “this old monkey head just can move, how come at this time is not moving?” Then lift his foot to kick the pale ape exposed arm, that the bottom of the outer coffin of the old ape really shrinking arm dodge, open two eyes thief skittering around, to the partridge whistle bared his teeth and grinning gesture intimidation, in addition to seven points in the eyes of the fear, there are three points of vicious malicious intent.
Partridge whistle look at this pale ape color cunning, it is known that it is absolutely not good, all things in the world with the natural birth and death, living years deep, will retreat their original fur color, from gray to white, and then from white to silver, to this extent, is not a common thing, non-fairy that is, the demon, can be through the human heart.
Listen to that hole savage said, this bottle mountain white ape hole near the monkey group, often intercepted the passing single guests robbing food, has harmed many people’s lives, and even clothing goods are not let go, grabbed into the monkey hole you fight me to grab, but also wear dress up, learn the appearance of a living person in the mountains flaunt, most likely this is the pale ape leader to do the wrong thing.
Partridge whistle estimate that guy and the ancient beaver monument of the old beaver are all the way goods, the heart of the killing intent, and immediately wanted to shoot the old ape, eliminating the name of the White Ape Cave, but the red girl on the hole barbarian said the group of monkeys harming people’s lives is not serious, and have never seen the group of monkeys for the scourge of man, and the old ape was very seriously injured, put it out of the can’t live for a few days, advised the partridge whistle to be merciful, think of the white ape only one breath left on the part, and spare it more to live! On the white ape’s remaining breath, and spare it to live for a few more days, today’s death of a lot of brothers, we must seek some happiness for them.
Partridge whistle heard her say so, it is inconvenient to refute, also had to press the killing machine, anyway, this old ape only half a life, and right to leave it to live for a while, he held the gun fast, want to take the life of this ape is not waste of effort, and now the big thing at the present time, or open the coffin to take the treasure to be important, will be put away the gun to get up, and let the white ape pressure at the bottom of the coffin gnashing of teeth, and no longer to pay attention to it.
The three then stood to the side of the purple gold coffin, in the moonlight to look at the situation in the coffin, the moon shadow down, cold and dim light scattered in the coffin, only to see the coffin dead monkeys and zombies are still stacked in one place, it is still “centipede hanging mountain ladder” pulling the bald-tailed monkey’s corpse, it will be picking out of the coffin, thrown off the tree in the distance.
In this way, the coffin in the ancient corpse lying flat situation will be vividly remembered, that the Yuan dynasty zombie has died nearly seven hundred years, even wearing a purple embroidered brocade robe has begun to deteriorate, but the ancient corpse face has not changed, only the whole body skin color up purple stiff, a head of disheveled hair spread out half cover the head and face, the figure of a taller than the person, although dead for hundreds of years, but a Ying Shuang Ran killing so far has not been dispersed.
Yuan dynasty army is not just a single Mongolian, the Western Desert North countries and even Goryeo, Han Yi people have, this general hair color appearance are heavy Western features, but see his mouth closed, looks like two cheeks slightly bulging, have not collapsed shriveled, the material comes to the mouth with a face in the precious.
Partridge whistle is looking forward to the zombie’s mouth is a pearl, but he is also clear that the stream of princes and nobles of the corpse, in the mouth contained in the face of the thing, there have always been three kinds of, one is the face of the scattered, is the main ingredient of mercury as the antiseptic medicine; two to be jade containing, jade can produce cold, cool jade made of the shape of the human tongue, to be the dead into the convergence of the mouth into the cool jade can be made of the nine orifices fresh to prevent the body from decaying; the most valuable is the The most valuable is the moonlight beads produced by the seabed, or exotic pearls; as for the way to contain the pressurized mouth coins, in the ancient aristocracy almost will not be used.
Look at this purple gold coffin nanmu coffin in the zombie, always exposed to the night wind, but the skin and flesh shriveled and collapsed is not obvious, the corpse must have a special means of antiseptic, but when the partridge whistle close to look at the heart of the heart immediately doubtful, it turned out that the zombie nostrils and ears, stuffed with pure gold powder, with gold in the face of things, the world has never been, the Yuan Dynasty zombies how the body will have gold? With the muzzle of the dead body in the ear a press, the gold powder immediately fell a piece of the ear holes from the surge out of a lot of dirty blood to the blood dripped into the coffin, the stench is unbearable.
Partridge whistle heart doubts, but also figure out what clues, now have to pry open the mouth of the corpse to see in the end, was about to start the corpse into the coffin, suddenly heard a light sound behind the tree, busy looking up, see a crooked neck tree trunk slightly shaking and trembling, the leaves have fallen, it seems to be in the what people are hard to push the shake, but the tree body has a hug to thick, idle force and how to shake how it moved?
Partridge whistle scolded: “noisy, could it be that the group of thieves monkeys back to come?” Said has dragged the German-made twenty in the hand, the gun in the hand “swish” turned a circle, the nose will have been picked open, the muzzle of the coffin under the white ape, thinking that if the monkeys in the side of the disturbance, it is also difficult to open the body to pick up the jade, might as well point a gun to this half-dead old white apes to be clean.
See partridge whistle is going to be a result of the white ape’s life, this time the hole barbarians but in situ jumped up more than a foot high, shouted: “big thing is not good, even forgot such a big thing, ink division brother son, the time has long passed, now is the first few?”
Partridge whistle and the red girl see the hole savage look changed greatly, I do not know what is ate what shock, as if the first corpse in general, more do not understand what he said, all said: “what the first few?”
Hole barbarians at this time will be early chicken cage picked up and hugged to his arms shaking vigorously, has also remembered the date and time: “good to teach you two to know, to the time of the intersection of the night, the mountain scorpion is a single see a single, see a double see a double, just got rid of a female, near the left must also hide a more ruthless male scorpion.” Mountain scorpion in the male scorpion is the most evil, although smaller than the female scorpion, but its venom fierce sex fierce, absolutely difficult to deal with, now it is late at night, the three roosters have just eaten their fill of small scorpions, are mentally exhausted, no matter how to shake the bamboo basket, but also refused to wake up.
Cave barbarians and shocked and panicked, forehead out of a layer of sweat, partridge whistle pressed him said: “Panic what? It’s just another mountain scorpion, how big a storm can it create?”
At this time, the red girl suddenly pointed to the distant swaying tree under the whistle, whispered: “Look, there is something in the tree!” Partridge whistle and hole savage son heard the sound will look over, under the shadow of the moon to see a good real, crooked neck tree hanging a black mountain scorpion, this scorpion hanging upside down in the tree, as hanging a black ancient lute, a little move, the body of the limbs on the hard shell will be like iron leaves friction like acid sound, fierce and unusual, is no less than the six-winged centipede hiding in the Palace of Dan.
Cave barbarians shocked: “My master, is the black pipa spirit in the western Hunan mountain scorpion ……” its words did not fall, the black pipa hanging upside down in the tree body, has stretched the palate teeth light up a pair of blood chelae, from the crooked neck old tree swiftly and down.
Scorpion nature is not unusual, are to the sharp to dry, such as suicide and other desperate things, some people can do, not everyone can be, but if we talk about the genus of poisonous insects, but only the mountain scorpion can commit suicide, if caught a scorpion into a glass bottle, with a convex mirror in the daylight irradiation in it, scorpion under the acute pain and in the bottle can not be escaped, it will be reversed to the end of the blade from the stabbing and death, the madness of the nature can be seen.
That black pipa from the tree down, feel the coffin near the dead scorpion and rooster, will have triggered the madness, body full of resentment, like a black wind in the bottom of the tree played a circle, crooked neck tree was uprooted, fell into the bushes, shaped like a black pipa scorpion into the depths of the grass, only to see the chaotic grass ruffled, swift and incomparable to the purple and gold near the coffin forced to come.
Partridge whistle screamed so fast, raised the hands of twenty rounds of mirror box gun, a long shot swept over, the rain of bullets cut off the grass “swish” fell a piece of, but the forest is dense and overgrown, can not see whether it hit the black lute, in a moment the magazine of twenty rounds of bullets will have been slightly, partridge whistle eyes staring at the mountain scorpion rattling the grass The trail of the mountain scorpion rattling the grass, hand quickly change down the magazine, he at the same time let the hole savage son and red girl voice to hurry to open the cage to release the chicken, this thicket in the forest too many obstacles, away from the distance will be difficult to shoot to kill the target, only to make the male chicken to go to surround the fight is the best strategy.
In fact, the red girl and the hole barbarians do not need to listen to the order, has already been in the bamboo basket in the sleep of the three male chickens thrown to the outside, but the male chickens have eaten enough, coupled with the night is deep, although the enemy is in front of us, but completely unable to shake the spirit of the past will be pouncing on the force to kill, the hole barbarians anxious at their wits’ end, looking at the Black Pipa in the bushes closer and closer, which also cared about a lot of them, and picked up one by one the three half-sleeping and half-awake roosters, see the direction from mid-air to throw to the The direction of the mountain scorpion from the air.
