Yin qi is said to be ghostly in folk terms, but in the Taoist theory of yin and yang it exists in opposition to yang qi. It has different explanations in different places. For example, cold air and chilling air can also be called yin qi. .
After Douduzi stuffed the miasma-preventing pills into our noses, I tried to move forward a few steps, and a biting and cold breath hit my face. The coldness was like the cold wind blowing on my body in the twelfth lunar month in the Northeast, and the pain was as unbearable as being scratched by a knife.
Yaowang Valley is located in the south, so it can't be so cold. The Yin Qi floating on the mountain path must be deceptive.
The moment Ye Xun and I drew our swords at the same time, a red figure suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs.
The other person stood at the top of the stairs with his head half lowered and his bare feet. He raised his hands flat on his body and took a step forward. Then he suddenly disappeared from my sight. At the same time, a bloody Yin Qi also appeared. Rolling towards my eyes.
The moment the biting cold wind blew across my throat, the figure suddenly appeared less than one meter away from me. The other person's raised hands simultaneously grabbed my throat.
I leaned back, using my knees as a point, and lay flat in the air like an iron plate.
Ye Xun swiped the knife in front of my eyes with his backhand. The blade went straight to the opponent's neck and instantly chopped off the head to the ground. The headless corpse gushed out blood but remained standing. The blood spray rushing up to the sky was like a heavy rain, rushing straight in front of him and covering his head.
"Hurry!" Douduzi was the first to react. He reached out and grabbed my shoulder and pulled me away as hard as he could.
If I had kept my legs upright, I might have been able to retreat with him in a hurry, but now I was half lying in the air, unable to exert force on my feet, and round blood beads were falling on my head, and I couldn't get up. I definitely can't go backward faster than the falling speed of the blood beads. If I wait until Bean Donkey pulls me away, it will be too late.
In the blink of an eye, I kicked off the steps with both feet, straightened my body backwards, collided with the donkey, and rolled down the steps together.
The two of us hugged each other and rolled for several meters before we stopped. Just as I was about to stand up with my hands on the ground, I felt something move under my hands.
When I looked up, a scorpion tail as thick as chopsticks had stood up between my two fingers.
That was the first time I saw a live scorpion. I panicked instantly and didn't know how to avoid the poisonous hook on the scorpion's tail. I instinctively squeezed my fingers together and clamped the scorpion's tail between my two fingers.
When the transparent and shiny venom seeped out from the barb of the scorpion's tail, I felt a sharp pain in my wrist. After I clamped the tail hook, the dark red scorpion actually bent over and used it. The two front pincers tore open my sleeves and dug into my flesh.
After the excruciating pain, I lost all feeling in my palms, and the two fingers clamped on the scorpion tail opened a gap uncontrollably. The scorpion tail that was still clamped in my hand turned its poisonous hook and stung me at that moment.
At the critical moment, Douduzi, who was pinned down by me, suddenly got up, pulled out the dagger, swung the blade against my palm, and cut off the front claws and the scorpion tail with one blow. The poisonous scorpion fell naked to the ground, and Ye Xun, who came after him, stabbed the poisonous scorpion in the back with a knife: "Save Wang Huan quickly!"
I didn't know what was going on on my face, but just by looking at Ye Xun's expression, I knew something was wrong.
Doudouzi turned over my swollen arm, pulled out the two front pincers of the poisonous scorpion from my arm, grabbed my arm with both hands, and squeezed out a stream of black blood.
After Douduzi squeezed out black blood twice in a row, he grabbed a handful of medicinal powder from his body and pressed it against my wound. However, black blood quickly seeped out from under the powder, and the white powder instantly turned into smelly "black mud".
"No!" Doudouzi picked me up, "Ye Xun, let's go to Baicao Spring and use the spring water to detoxify him."
I said solemnly: "Wait a moment, don't be in a hurry."
"Don't worry!" Doudouzi almost cried, "If you wait a little longer, you will die from the poison."
I said coldly: "Ye Xun, first see if there is any formation on the steps. Look from the side!"
Not long after Ye Xun turned to the side of the stone steps, he suddenly flew up and rushed straight to the steps.
As soon as Ye Xun's feet left the ground, I saw another blood-stained figure appear at the top of the steps.
After Ye Xun took three steps, the figure suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xun and raised his hand to touch Ye Xun's throat.
Ye Xun suddenly turned his feet outwards, slid out three steps with his fingertips close to the figure, walked around the figure, jumped up, and went straight up the seven stairs like a flying swallow grazing the waves before stopping.
Before Ye Xun could stand firm, another figure covered in blood appeared out of thin air beside Ye Xun. This time, the other party stood beside Ye Xun and put his arm around his shoulders.
Ye Xun grabbed the man's arm with both hands, moved his hands up and down, and twisted the other person's arm. He pushed the man far away and then stood up again, falling to the top of the stairs.
I shouted loudly before Ye Xun landed: "Don't go to where you expected him to be, hit him from afar."
Ye Xun drew his gun in the air and shot three arrows next to the gate arch of Baicaoquan Mountain. Where the crossbow arrow landed, a buzzing sound suddenly erupted next to the archway. When I looked again, I was almost scared to death.
A black cloud of venomous bees suddenly surged out from the edge of the mountain gate and flew towards Ye Xun overwhelmingly.
"Run away!" I shouted, my tone changing. Ye Xun has not yet landed. How can he avoid the poisonous bees in such a close distance
I was so anxious that I was sweating, but Ye Xun suddenly raised his left foot and knocked it hard on the instep of his right foot. He flipped upside down in the air, hugged his head with both hands and curled up into a ball, quickly Tumbled down the stairs.
The wasps dancing in the sky also followed Ye Xun's figure and fell down like dark clouds.
The donkey carrying me threw me on the ground before Ye Xun landed. He took off his clothes in a few seconds, grabbed a handful of medicine powder and sprinkled it on his clothes. He took out a lighter, lit the corners of his clothes and threw them on the ground. He lay beside me with his head in his hands.
As soon as the two of us lay down, Ye Xun, who had rolled down the mountain, also used his hands to steady his body and lay down side by side with the two of us.
At the same time, the pungent smell rose into the sky along with the firelight on the clothes.
A rainstorm of buzzing sounds followed, hovering above us.
In just a few moments, I saw wasps falling like raindrops near us. Some wasps that were still alive were still flapping their wings and struggling desperately, spinning in a circle on us and underground like tops.
Doudouzi shouted again and again: "Don't move, don't move, they can't hurt anyone, it will be bad if they move!"
People who drive mountains in the Northeast are not afraid of meeting long worms, but they are afraid of encountering mountain bees.
After all, there are not many highly venomous snakes in the Northeast, and there are no venomous snakes that actively attack people. Most people who are bitten by snakes can survive. But the mountain bee is different. The wild honey in the northeastern mountains is valuable, and the mountain bees are equally fierce. There are beehives built in trees, on the ground, and everywhere. If you accidentally damage the beehive, you will not be able to escape the pursuit of wild bees, no matter day or night. Many people have been stung alive by mountain bees.
Anyone who drives mountains knows that mountain bees cannot be beaten without stopping. The more you hit them with something, the harder they sting. Moreover, the stings of bees are not short, unless you are wearing a cotton jacket or hat. Otherwise, any clothes will be stung.
But Shanfengzi is most afraid of smoke. As long as he can endure the pain and lie down on the ground, light his clothes to make smoke, his life can be saved.
Douduzi lit up the clothes not only to save his life, but also the medicine he sprinkled on the clothes was to kill the poisonous bees together.
Just a moment later, the poisonous bee closest to me stopped spinning, gradually stretched out its legs and died on the ground. The poisonous needle protruding from its tail still has a scarlet edge until the poisonous bee dies, making people look chilling.
After the first poisonous bee died suddenly, the sound of the buzzing of poisonous bees around us began to become smaller and smaller. When everything finally fell silent, the three of us tentatively got up.
Although Ye Xun's reaction speed was not slow, he was still stung by poisonous bees several times. A red envelope the size of an egg bulged on his forehead. His left eye narrowed into a slit, and tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.
After Ye Xun stood up, he grabbed my hand and asked vaguely: "Doudu... How is Wang Huan..."
My hand has swollen twice as much as before, the five fingers cannot reach together, and half of my arm has no feeling at all.
Douduzi wiped away his tears and said, "He's fine. I'll reduce the swelling for you first. This poisonous wasp is very powerful. If the swelling doesn't subside, it will kill you in a while."
When Douduzi took out the ointment and applied it carefully on Ye Xun's wound, two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks.
I asked anxiously: "Dou Donkey, why are you crying? What's wrong?"
Doudu said while crying: "Yaowang Valley is over... Even the golden bees that protect the mountains in Yaowang Valley have been taken out and made into traps. What is left of Yaowang Valley? Yaowang Valley must be over... "
Douduzi didn't react at all when he saw the strange snakes and poisonous scorpions, but he cried bitterly when he saw the poisonous bees. The strange snakes and poisonous scorpions are not the poisons of Yaowang Valley, but the poisonous bees are
I couldn't help but frown: "Take me up and have a look."
Douduzi suppressed his sadness and led me up the mountain road where the Yin Qi had dissipated, directly to the Baicao Spring.
After the Yaowang Valley disciples flattened the rock wall facing the mountain gate, they carved a Tai Chi diagram. The two springs, one cold and one hot, flowing out from the yin and yang fish in the Tai Chi diagram are the famous Baicao Spring. In order to ensure that the spring water would not be lost in vain, they also built a large pool below the spring for people to extract spring water.
The pool that was supposed to be a clear spring has long been stained scarlet with blood. More than a dozen Yaowang Valley disciples were buried in the water. There was only one corpse sitting cross-legged in the water. A note was nailed to the forehead of the corpse with a steel knife. .
