dragon hunter

Chapter 177

The exit of the cave is right in front, and there is a suspension bridge behind, densely packed centipedes, like a layer of black carpet, rushing towards this side.

"The dead sons and grandchildren lie on the corpse board!" I said bitterly, these centipedes did not appear out of thin air, but lived on the suspension bridge, in the dilapidated and decayed wooden boards.

The corpse board is the coffin board where the dead slept, but only the coffin floor dug out of the old grave is eligible to be called the corpse board, which is especially attractive to centipedes.

Moreover, if the centipede lies in the corpse board for a long time, it will be contaminated with corpse poison, and a bite can kill a person.

There were footsteps coming from behind, Mr. Lai and the others should have followed, I stood there blankly, and forgot to tell them not to approach.

"My mother, hurry...run!" Fatty Wang screamed in horror, pulling my arm back.

"There are corpse boards on the bridge. Those centipedes have corpse poison, so don't get bitten." Mr. Lai was so nervous that his voice changed.

A white and tender arm leaned over my shoulder, and scattered a handful of yellow powder at the entrance of the cave.

"I don't know if these medicinal powders are effective, everyone stand back." Bai Yuan said in a hurried tone.

I was pulled back a few steps by Fatty Wang, and I felt chills in my heart. The people who arranged the layout were really sinister. If I hadn't purified the gloomy stone, and everyone rushed up, there would be no way out, and they would be blocked to death at the entrance of the cave.

The centipede at the front was less than three meters away from us. Everyone stared nervously at the entrance of the cave, wondering if those yellow powders could stop these centipedes.

The medicinal powder sprinkled by Bai Yuan still has some effect, but there are too many centipedes. After the centipedes in front covered the medicinal powder with their corpses, the tide-like army of centipedes rushed towards us.

I threw a few burning talisman papers, and didn't expect it to be effective, so I shouted in a hurried tone: "Quick, everyone, retreat quickly."

Fatty Wang, the coward, was the first one to run away, don't look at this guy who looks like a fat duck, and when he runs, his legs are moving fast.

I gritted my teeth bitterly. If there were a group of lonely ghosts in front of me, I would still have the courage to fight, but facing the vast army of centipedes, I couldn't even summon up the courage to fight.

We have been retreating to a spacious place, and the centipede swarm, like a black tide, pursued closely.

"This place is too evil. I told you I shouldn't come here. Let's go back quickly." Fatty Wang hid at the back. This guy encountered a little setback, so he was destined to retreat.

I felt depressed, and subconsciously groped in the cloth bag with one hand, and suddenly touched something cold.

I took it out and saw that it was a copper flute. A gleam of joy flashed in my eyes, and I thought to myself, how could I forget this thing.

The copper flute was given to me by Asu, that Nanyang half-breed. Before parting, he gave me the copper flute as a souvenir and taught me how to play it.

I have seen this humble copper flute control the poisonous insects before, so I immediately picked it up and put it near my mouth.

A strange tone came from the copper flute, and the black tide-like centipede was a little agitated.

"Yeah? You still have this baby, why didn't you take it out earlier, I almost scared Fatty to death." Fatty Wang complained.

I ignored this guy and continued to play the copper flute. I was not very proficient at the beginning, but gradually I was able to control some centipedes.

While I was playing, I stepped back, and at the same time gestured to my companions, signaling them to step aside quickly.

Although the copper flute is miraculous, it is not without limitations. At least with my half-baked ability, I can't control the centipede swarm for too long.

"Everyone, step aside quickly and let Brother Zhang lure all the centipedes away." Mr. Lai understood my gesture and leaned towards the stone wall to the side.

I led the centipede army towards the pool, looked at the tide-like centipedes, and said I was not nervous, that would be a lie.

I slowly retreated to the other side of the pool. Along the way, the high tension made my forehead covered with sweat.

Under the lure of the copper flute, those centipedes seemed to be irrational, rushing forward one after another, pouring into the pool.

The water pool is green and polluted by the corpse of the old woman. After those centipedes fell into it, it would not take long for them to float up to lift the corpse.

Looking at the densely packed corpses of centipedes floating in the pool, I felt a little sick.

As the last part of the centipede poured into the pool, I breathed a sigh of relief, put away the copper flute, and wiped my sweat with my hands.

It's also good luck. If there are more centipedes, I won't be able to hold on.

After taking a break, I joined Mr. Lai and the others, and went back to the exit of the cave. Looking at the suspension bridge, I felt overwhelmed.

Behind the suspension bridge, in the hazy mist, a Taoist palace looms, and there is the goal of our trip.

I greeted my companions and walked towards the suspension bridge first. The rotten boards on it were all corpse boards.

"I said, those wooden boards are rotten and slag, won't they break if you step on them?" Fatty Wang said behind him.

"Try to step on the place where there are iron chains." I carefully stepped on the rotten planks on the suspension bridge.

The suspension bridge shook slightly, and the sound of "creaking" made my teeth sour.

There were still some scattered centipedes on the rotten board, but Bai Yuan's medicine powder was effective against these lone centipedes, so walking all the way across the suspension bridge was safe and sound.

Fatty Wang, a coward, yelled and screamed all the way, he was more timid than women, and the faces of the gentlemen were almost thrown away by this guy.

The Taoist palace on the opposite side looks very illusory, and in the white mist, it gives people an unreal feeling.

"His sister, he builds a Taoist palace here, and really thinks he is a god?" Fatty Wang spat, his tone very disapproving.

The surroundings were so quiet that it made one's heart palpitate, only the humming of the wind, I raised my vigilance and walked forward.

"Brother Zhang, be careful, it's very weird here, and the compass has lost its effect." Mr. Lai walked to me with the compass in his hand.

I was about to speak when suddenly my eyes narrowed, because Mr. Lai's complexion turned purple at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qingsha covered his face, this is the face of a dead person, I turned my head in horror, and saw Fatty Wang and Bai Yuan, the same is true on their faces.

"Oh my god, what's wrong with your face, it suddenly turned green, so scary." Fatty Wang suddenly raised his hand, pointed at me and yelled.

Mr. Lai also noticed the abnormality, so he nervously took out a gossip mirror and shone it on his face.

"How is it possible, how can there be a blue ghost on the face of a living person?" Mr. Lai shouted a little out of composure.

"There is a problem with feng shui here." I nervously glanced around, recalling the records in the scriptures in my mind.

Except for the rocks and weeds around, nothing seemed unusual.

A drop of cold sweat slipped from my forehead to the tip of my nose. I felt that the yang energy in my body was constantly being lost, but I haven't found the reason yet.

"The land of the falling dragon, no living person can enter, and if you enter, you will die." A sentence from the Broken Phrases suddenly appeared in my mind.

"The land of the falling dragon..." I muttered to myself, and Mr. Lai looked at each other, and at the same time saw the shock in the other's eyes.

The dragon's pulse is the bell of the luck of the mountains and rivers. It is the darling of the heaven and the earth and can protect the water and the soil.

If it is artificially destroyed and cut off, then the place where this dragon vein is located will be cursed by the world and become the land of falling dragons.

The reason why the ancient country of Loulan in history was destroyed overnight is also because of this reason.

Could it be that we are one step too late, this dragon vein is already irreparable?

There was a trance in front of my eyes, a magical premonition reappeared, and a picture appeared in my sight.

A figure was wearing a Taoist robe, with his back to me, standing on the top of the mountain, with his arms raised high, with an arrogant expression, the surroundings were filled with black mist, all the nearby plants and trees were withered, and there was a dead silence between the heaven and the earth.

The picture in the premonition lasted for a very short time and disappeared in a flash.

I came to my senses, looked at the green vegetation around me despite the drooping leaves, and shouted in my heart: "No, there is still time for everything."

"Fatty, you have obtained the inheritance of the Zhu family, will you give someone a bad taste?" I turned to look at Fatty Wang and asked.

"Yes, yes, but I haven't used it, why do you want to be overcast?" Fatty Wang looked puzzled, and shivered after speaking, holding his arms and shouting cold.

"Don't talk nonsense, do it quickly, the sooner the better." I felt my body become cold, and a trace of anxiety flashed in my eyes.

Overcast can put a person in a state of suspended animation, just like a zombie, without heartbeat or breathing.

In our village, if someone misses their deceased relatives, they will go to a witch and perform occult techniques to allow themselves to see their deceased relatives.

Of course, it is very dangerous to use this secret technique, if you can't recover within a day, your soul will be scattered.

I had no choice but to let Fatty Wang use Yin. Only in a state of suspended animation can we keep the Yang Qi in our body, otherwise, in a few minutes, everyone might really be dead.

Fatty Wang stopped talking, asked me for three blank talisman papers, bit his finger, and drew on them.

"Stand back, everyone, the yang energy here is draining too fast." Mr. Lai greeted everyone with a bruised face.

We retreated temporarily to the exit of the cave, where the Yang Qi passed very slowly and had almost no effect on the body.

Fatty Wang had finished drawing the overcast talisman, and asked us to stand in a row, sandwich the three pieces of talisman paper between our fingers, raise our hands and shake them, and the talisman paper would spontaneously ignite without fire.

"One flash locks the life palace, two flashes locks three souls, lonely ghosts and wild ghosts don't want to come, Huangquan has its own guide..." Fatty Wang danced like a god, waving his arms, humming a strange tune.

I felt my heartbeat gradually slow down, and then stopped, my whole body was so cold that I didn't even need to breathe.

A transparent and pale face appeared in front of me, with pale eyeballs staring straight at me, piercing.

These are ghosts provoked by occult techniques. These evil things will always follow us. Once we fail to return our yang in time, these ghosts will take the opportunity to seize our body and revive our souls.

I didn't do anything, because these ghosts can't be killed and destroyed. If you get rid of the old ones, new ones will appear.

Fatty Wang waved the remaining half of the talisman paper in his hand, bound the ghosts with a ring of fire, and shouted: "I will hold these ghosts, you go to work quickly."

I said a word of caution, turned around and left, Fatty Wang couldn't live with himself, so he could only wait here.
