"Uncle, what's wrong with me? I feel uncomfortable as if I drank fake wine."
"You are poisoned. One of the flowers we met when we came in is called the Forgettable Fairy Flower."
"Then why are you okay?"
"Water can carry or capsize a boat. The toxicity varies from person to person. If it were your aunt, not only would she be fine, but she might even benefit from it."
"Why do I seem to remember seeing many girls?"
"You remember correctly, there were many girls here."
"Uncle, I didn't embarrass you, did I?"
"It's okay, it's all normal. After all, he is a young man with strong blood. It is understandable if he makes a mistake. Those women are the best of all races. Even I am tempted by looking at them. If your aunt hadn't been so cruel, I would have You may not be able to hold it."
"No, what you said is true." Bai Qi wasn't sure if he had done anything ridiculous. He looked down at the clothes he had torn before and was a little worried: "Uncle, did I really do it? "
"It's done!" Li Muye said with a straight face and a very solemn look: "There's actually nothing wrong with it. It's rare for outsiders to come in to this damn place. After those girls were captured, they served the old beasts who were looking for the Dragon Gate. It's a blessing for them to have such a great and handsome young man like you, but it's a pity that we have to be in a hurry, otherwise I should have let you accompany them more."
"Then who did I have sex with?" Bai Qi asked tentatively: "There must be that white girl, right?"
Li Muye shook his head and said: "No, you don't like that type. You hugged the two-toed lobster girl at the beginning. After you were done, you went to the black girl with the ration bag longer than the arm. Tsk tsk, It’s really a blessing.”
"You are so rude, I won't ask anymore." Bai Qi noticed that Li Muye was making fun of him, and after a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "The world is so dangerous. This kind of trap is more powerful than any other organization."
Li Muye said: "The way of sincerity is to abide by it wholeheartedly. No matter how powerful the trap is, it is only human. What is really worth worrying about is the weakness of the heart. You still need some warmth."
"It's too cruel. I'm only nineteen years old and I shouldn't have to deal with this kind of thing." Bai Qi said aggrievedly: "I don't have people like you. I'm very sad. As an elder, you not only don't comfort me, but you also make fun of me here. .”
Li Muye smiled and said: "You have endured a torture that is a hundred times more painful than this. Are you still afraid of this gentle formation?"
"Softness can overcome toughness. I think this gentle formation is much more severe than the torture in the Ural Mountains." Bai Qi looked a little coy: "It's easy to break a thief, but it's hard to break a thief in the heart."
"The real test is yet to come." Li Muye said seriously: "You should know how dangerous this place is by now."
Bai Qi nodded solemnly and said, "Uncle, I was wrong. There is no easy word in the world."
Li Muye said: "This is a lesson. What you learn is experience. The Green Ghost Cave is ahead of you. You must be more careful next time."
As he spoke, he had already walked into the canyon that Yang Lan was talking about. The road under his feet suddenly became extremely rugged. Even though there were artificially dug stairs, it was still not easy to walk. There are steep cliffs on both sides. The road winds upwards, getting steeper as it goes. In some places, it even goes up at an angle of almost 90 degrees.
The two of them climbed forward while carefully paying attention to the movements around them.
With Bai Qi's youthful temperament, he couldn't help but ask after a while: "Uncle, what is in this Green Ghost Cave? Why is it called this name?"
Li Muye said: "Yang Lan told me that there is a group of mandrills living in the cave that like to eat the brains of living people. I have never seen them in detail, but the Japanese Insect Classic has a very detailed introduction to this thing. .”
Bai Qi looked around and said, "Everything is fine. Please tell me about this thing."
According to the Japanese Insect Sutra, mandrills are long legs with turned back heels, covered with hair and armor, and walk like humans. They are frightened when encountering fire, and are happy when smelling wine. They drink blood for food, and will be punished by the canthus. They cannot tolerate blood-eating beasts. They belong to the mountain. It is a kind of insect, so wherever there are mandrills in the mountains, there are almost no other large beasts.
Li Muye explained: "According to the Japanese Insect Scripture, this thing is born with long legs, but its knees are turned backwards. It walks upright like a human. It is afraid of fire, likes to drink, has the habit of sucking blood, and has a cruel nature. , in their range of activities, there is no room for other carnivorous beasts.”
Bai Qi said: "No matter how powerful they are, they are still beasts. Anyway, I would rather face these man-eating beasts than face the gentle formation in front of me."
Ten minutes later, the two of them walked through the canyon and finally arrived in front of Qinggui Cave.
The entrance to the cave is half-lit and half-dark, surrounded by barren grass and jagged rocks with strange shapes. A dark wind brings a faint smell of fishy smell to the face, and the cold air blows against the face, making people feel terrified and terrified.
Both of them are bold people. Bai Qi fell into the trap of gentleness and consciously lost the face of Baiyuntang. Before coming to Qinggui Cave, he had made up his mind to be brave enough to do his job, which proved that those who came from Baiyuntang to the special office were definitely not Straw bag. So he rushed in immediately. Li Muye saw his thoughts clearly and didn't feel the need to remind him. He just followed closely and secretly paid attention to the movements around him.
The light in the cave was dim, and the light wave lamps that could be seen everywhere before were gone. There were only some strange stones that could emit light, emitting a faint green light, adding a bit of eerieness. The two of them wandered along the artificially dug route. After walking about tens of meters, a stone bridge appeared in front of them.
Bai Qi suddenly noticed something, pointed forward and said, "Uncle, look, there seems to be someone over there."
Li Muye also noticed that there was a table at the end of the bridge. Under the dim light, he could vaguely see a person sitting there, wearing a big leather robe, with a pair of bean-like eyes shining with green light. Continuing to look forward, the end of the stone bridge is a flat and open area, and there is actually a house.
The two men were fearless. When they came closer, they saw the guy sitting behind the table motionless. His red face was covered with long hair, and two sharp teeth protruded from the corners of his lips. He was wearing a nondescript shirt. The big leather robe was open, revealing a body covered with long hair, and a large horny leaf like fish scales grew on the chest. Looking down, I saw no knees on the long legs. There was just a strange object coiled around his waist. It looked like a tail at first glance, but upon closer inspection, I saw that the thing actually came from the front.
This guy who looks like the judge in the Senluo Palace is a mandrill. This is the first time Li Muye has seen this thing in his life. This guy stopped here but didn't say anything. It was hard to tell what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd.
There is a copper vat on the table. I don't know what it is for. Bai Qi strode forward and saw that the monster suddenly picked up the copper vat, held it in his hand and shook it a few times. He could only hear the sound of objects rolling and knocking inside. The monster put the copper vat down and lifted the lid, revealing three dice.
What is this guy going to do
Bai Qi was just wondering when the monster suddenly took out a copper hammer from under the stool and placed it on the table. This hammer is about the size of a watermelon, and its weight is probably over three hundred kilograms. When the object was taken out, it was done with ease, and the copper hammer was gently placed down. He gestured towards Bai Qi, first making a shaking gesture, and then making a downward smashing motion.
"Uncle, does it want to play dice with us?"
Li Muye's perception extended to his surroundings, and he was surprised to find that countless faint breathing sounds could be heard in the shadows around the cave.
"Boy, you play with it first."
"Uncle, how long has it been, and you still asked me to play games with this beast." Bai Qi noticed Li Muye's serious expression when he was talking. He immediately reacted, looked around, and said, "Uncle, what did you find?"
Li Muye whispered: "Don't look around, we men are already surrounded. This thing was able to escape my eyes and ears. I didn't notice it until it got close to us at this distance. Physically speaking, it is definitely at the level of a grand master." Well, if you come hard, it will only take a matter of minutes to tear our man to pieces."
"Ah!" Bai Qi was shocked and said, "How is this possible? If so, wouldn't the Xunlongmen have already unified the world?"
Li Muye said: "That's what you say, but the truth is untenable. This thing is a beast after all. It has such great power and is difficult to control..."
Hiss!
The mandrill in the leather robe got angry, bared his teeth and screamed, urging Bai Qi to hurry up and play dice with him.
Bai Qi hesitantly picked up the copper vat and shook it a few times. As soon as he put the vat down, the mandrill opposite couldn't help but lift the lid. When he saw that the number of points was more than what he had just thrown, he scratched his head and ears anxiously, as if thinking. What, he magically took out a wooden box from under his feet, opened it, rummaged through it a few times, and finally took out a Tianhuang stone and pushed it in front of Bai Qi. It seems that it is meant to be used as a bonus for losing.
"This thing is really going to bet us money." Bai Qi took the prize and turned to ask Li Muye what he meant.
Li Muye said: "This guy knows how to dress and play dice. It seems that he has evolved some human wisdom. He is probably the king of these mandrills. But this kind of insect-like creature generally has two evolutionary directions. One is One is a naughty boy, and the other is a villain. The former is playful, while the latter is murderous. We have encountered a playful one, so you should play with it."
Bai Qi picked up the copper vat and threw another handful. When he lifted the lid, there were three six leopards. As expected, the mandrill lost another round. The gambling goods for this thing were not bad, and he was actually willing to admit defeat. He took out a short knife from the box and handed it to Bai Qi.
"This is a cold steel knife." Bai Qi said, "I seem to have seen something similar somewhere."
Li Muye said in a deep voice: "The standard individual short sword of the United States Marine Corps is by no means an ordinary commodity. It seems that this thing has experienced quite a lot in this place."
Bai Qi said: "Uncle, what do you think?"
Li Muye said: "It's useless to think about it. It's better to find a way to walk across here first. There is a house in front of this bridge. I guess someone has settled inside. This person may have a way to control these mandrills, so It’s the key to getting in and out of here.”
Bai Qi said: "What you said makes sense, but how can we men go over and see this person now?"
Li Muye thought for a while and said: "Get out of the way, I'll bet with it. When the opportunity is right, I will give you a signal. You rush to the house as fast as possible. Only by controlling the people inside, can we There is a chance to pass through the Green Ghost Cave." (End of this chapter)
