It's too late, but it's soon. I kicked Fatty Yu away, then immediately threw a flying dart and a flying knife from the bottom of my hand, hitting the roof of the cave.
As the saying goes, there are seals in Faqiu to suppress the demons, there are precepts to ward off evil spirits when looking for dragons, there are talismans to touch gold to make it difficult for ghosts to approach, there are magic immortals to guide the way when moving mountains, and there is armor and fire to protect against intrusion in Xieling. In fact, this is only the first half of the sentence, and there is also the second half: the heavenly official's iron umbrella is indestructible, the Taibao's flying knife is as fast as lightning, the school captain's double swords leave no trace, the Taoist's staff stirs the wind and thunder, and the strongman's small ax moves thousands of mountains.
The second half of this sentence mainly talks about the weapons used by Faqiu, Xunlong, Touching gold, Moving mountains and Xiling. Faqiu Tianguan uses the Diamond Umbrella as a protective equipment. The Diamond Umbrella is made of hundreds of refined steel mixed with rare metals. Even if it is cut with a chainsaw, it will only leave a slight white mark. No matter how powerful the hidden weapon is, it cannot be removed. In addition, it is also resistant to poison, water and fire. In the hands of Faqiu Tianguan in the past dynasties, it has resisted countless hidden weapons in ancient tombs. It is known as the most practical tool among the equipment left by Faqiu Tianguan. The captain Mojin used two swords, which he said could kill a person in ten steps and leave no trace behind for thousands of miles. The weapons of Banshan Taoist are magic staffs, fire, ice, wind and electricity. They obey orders and can contain monsters and monsters thousands of miles away. The weapon of the Xieling warriors is a small ax, which can be hidden in the sleeves. When used, the dragon will be awakened and the roar will shake thousands of mountains. And our Xunlong Taibao are good at using flying knives, and can turn danger into safety and survive in desperate situations.
However, in fact, throughout the dynasties, there have been many opinions about the use of weapons by the Five Gates, and the second half of this sentence is not absolute. For example, take the Vajra Umbrella of Faqiu Tianguan. After the decline of Faqiu Sect, the Vajra Umbrella also went into hiding. There are very few surviving ones. The few remaining ones were all in the hands of Captain Mojin and Taoist Banshan. On the contrary, it has become the opponent's favorite weapon.
There are two diamond umbrellas that I know of, one is a thousand-year-old antique, and the other is an imitation from the Ming Dynasty based on ancient recipes. Although it is an imitation, the material is no worse than the old one. One of these two gold steel umbrellas once belonged to Elder Liao Chen of Bishanmen, and later he passed it on to Partridge Whistle. The other one is only known to be touching the Golden Gate. I don’t know who it was passed to specifically.
As for the flying knife of our Xunlong Taibao, it is purely for self-defense. Because it is relatively small, easy to carry close to the body, and difficult to detect, it can be used for offensive and sneak attacks under special circumstances, so it is used more often. The material of the flying knives is not particular. In ancient times, blacksmiths who made agricultural tools could make them in batches, so they don’t feel bad if they are lost.
When I was a child, my grandfather not only taught me how to practice boxing, but throwing throwing knives was also an important lesson, so I was pretty good at it, at least I had no problem with my accuracy.
"What's going on?!" Before Fatty Yu understood what was going on, I had already slapped another throwing knife on his head.
Huai Rujin helped Fatty Yu up and looked up at the roof of the cave, only to see a body hanging upside down with a ferocious face exposed. And what just touched Fatty Yu was his hanging hair.
Even I was startled unexpectedly and took a breath of cold air. In this state, when something suddenly appeared in front of me, few people could react immediately.
Huai Rujin and I couldn't help but retreat, keeping a relatively safe distance. Fatty Yu couldn't even move his legs, his heart was beating wildly and his whole body was trembling.
Fatty Yu kept asking me, "What... is this?"
I felt a strong gust of wind coming and said, "Don't panic, fat man. I won't let anything happen to you!" As I said that, I simply used my flashlight to shine on it.
Although the limbs and torso of the thing hanging upside down were the same as those of a human being, its face did not look like a human face at all. Its facial features were distorted, and it was exactly the same as the monsters and monsters in the ancient murals. The skin was sallow and covered with wrinkles, and it was the kind of wrinkles that appear after air-drying.
The thing was wearing a strange costume, sleeveless and with bare arms. In the dim shadows inside the cave, it looked extremely strange. The flashlight shone on it, but it didn't react at all.
"This..." Huairu Jin gasped, "What is it?"
Fatty Yu lowered his voice and asked, "Li Rui, plus the hole with unknown function in front of me, I suspect that this thing is the legendary Earth Ghost Lady."
"Ghost girl?" I looked at him doubtfully, "What is this?"
"This kind of thing can no longer be seen in Han areas today, and I can only make a guess." Fatty Yu saw that the thing had no reaction at all, and said: "Look at this hole, it is completely inconsistent with the rules of the inner hall. It is very possible This tomb did not originally belong to it.”
"You mean this damn bitch made the hole?"
"Yes, this kind of ghost girl can dig holes through mountains and find bones buried underground to obtain food sources."
"What, this thing eats dead people?!"
"I can't tell exactly what this ghost girl is. Some say it's a species similar to water monkeys, while others say it's the product of human-ghost hybrids. In short, there are all kinds of theories, but the consensus is that they only eat dead people. .”
At this time, Fatty Yu suddenly laughed and said, "This thing shouldn't eat us. Didn't you see that it has no interest in us at all now?"
"Uh..." I didn't know what to say for a moment.
We walked over with lingering fear. As expected, the ghost girl was motionless. I shrank my neck and couldn't help but look up. From this distance, it was really scary. The ghost girl had pangolin-like growth on her body. The scales and the ugly face made him break out in cold sweat.
Fatty Yu was leading the way. He suddenly said something, which made me alert, "Do you think if Nagu Aba hadn't died, would there be something else in this cave?"
I thought to myself: "Yes, this ghost lady doesn't look like the culprit who kidnapped Gu Aba. Could it be that there is another monster in this thing?" I was still thinking, and suddenly the voice of Fatty Yu came from in front of me. There seems to be something going on.
"There is a robbery hole!" Fatty Yu said.
"Robber's Cave? How could there be a Robber's Cave in this place?" I turned to look at Huai Rujin in confusion.
Huai Rujin was born in a family of tomb robbers. She could tell at a glance whether she was a tomb robber or not. Even she nodded, so I didn’t know what to say.
Fatty Yu was impatient and had already crawled in without waiting for me to say anything. We continued along the Thief Cave and climbed for several minutes. When we passed a turn, we heard several faint noises coming from the darkness ahead, as if something was crawling ahead.
I held Fatty Yu's feet and signaled him not to move yet. At the same time, Huai Rujin had already shined his flashlight in the direction of the sound. A snake-shaped trace appeared on the ground and disappeared instantly. Before Fatty Yu could realize what it was, I yelled, "Quickly!"
I didn't see clearly what it was, but at that moment, I saw another thing dormant in the cave. "Why are you running?" Fatty Yu was confused by me, so he had no choice but to follow me and run out.
He was panting at the entrance of the cave, full of anger, and said: "Did you kid deliberately mess with me? Why are you running away so well?"
"There's a evil spirit inside!" I affirmed, "I'm not wrong about it."
"What?" Fatty Yu looked at me blankly, and then looked at Huai Rujin. The expression on Huai Rujin's face was a little solemn, and he also cast his eyes on me.
"Then what should we do?" Fatty Yu seemed to see some signs and knew that the thing inside was not good. "So it seems that Gu Aba must have been taken away by that thing?"
"Why are you both watching what I do?" I laughed, "Is there something wrong with my face?"
Huai Rujin shook his head, "I have no way to deal with Sha."
This was the first time I felt the feeling of being relied on by a woman like Huai Rujin. I couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking: "This time, it's really not in vain. Why do you have to show off so hard?"
"Actually, as long as I'm here, don't worry about it, whether it's a ghost or a ghost, it doesn't matter."
"Just brag, be careful not to blow your cover." Fatty Yu teased, "You are so awesome, then why did you run away just now?"
"You know how to play a ball. If you fight it head-on, I have no problem with it. But what do you do? I'll still have to worry about you, you idiot." I smiled and said, "Just remember me, okay?" , without me, you would have been dragged away by it."
"Okay, okay, don't say it's useless, hurry up and do something practical."
"You said it was a burglary hole just now. Did you get in from inside or get out?" I asked.
"How do I know this?"
"It should have been broken in from outside." Huai Rujin said, "This robbery hole is a few years old. Maybe it was drilled after the ghost lady drilled the hole above."
"That's strange. This evil spirit usually occupies the mountain and dominates other people's caves. How can it be outside?" I wondered, "Is it possible that there is a tomb outside?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out!" Huai Rujin said, "The thieves dug the hole from top to bottom. It is possible that they wanted to dig out, but ended up digging here."
"Oh." I nodded thoughtfully, "Miss Huai is indeed from a family of tomb robbers, and her analysis is perfect."
"Why don't you stop saying it's useless and tell us what to do?"
"Chinese Feng Shui is extensive and profound. In the inner hall practice, there is a set of techniques for shaking corpses and subduing evil spirits. It is called calling the dragon to bring out evil spirits. Today is a good time to practice it."
Calling the dragon to bring out evil spirits is an important part of the nine-foot technique in the inner hall, and is collectively referred to as Fu Zhen Dou Fa Kung Fu. Rao, the birthplace of Taoism, still retains a relatively complete ritual of summoning dragons to bring out evil spirits. For example: coffin tombs to hold objects, hanging coffins to mark the master, gods to inform the five directions, etc., are all inherited from ancient times.
"Call the dragon to bring out the evil?" Huairu Jin looked at me in surprise, "This..."
"What's wrong?" I asked with a smile, "Miss Huai doesn't seem to have much confidence in summoning the dragon to bring out the evil?"
"No." Huai Rujin shook his head, "This method of summoning dragons to summon evil spirits is originally a technique of earth masters, used to deal with evil spirits..."
"Hey, Miss Huai doesn't know something. What you are talking about are all tricks used by those magicians in the world to fool people. The real secrets of inner hall methods are unpredictable. If used properly, it will be more than enough to deal with evil spirits, and it will be much easier. .”
