Views:

Ma Huang's face sank again, he looked sideways at the snake thief beside him, and snorted coldly, "Yes, are you really stealing snakes in the mountains?"

The snake thief trembled, shook his head suddenly, and said, "Brother Ma... We came to Qingyadong to see you. On the way... I met this kid and was surrounded by his poisonous scorpions. My eldest brother made a mistake. The poisonous gas forest did not come out in the end."

Ephedra looked terrifying and asked, "You mean, this kid doesn't please you, so he uses a poisonous scorpion to deal with you... In other words, can he drive a poisonous scorpion?"

Snake thief Ye Xi nodded fiercely and said again and again: "Yes, he said that we were shocked by the snake he raised, so he asked us to kowtow to him. If we refused, he would use scorpions against us."

Uncle Fatty became anxious and shouted: "Turn black and white upside down. It is obvious that you are going to hunt big snakes and take snake gall. This time it becomes Xiao Kang irresponsible. It makes no sense..."

I pulled the Fatty Uncle and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I see what tricks he can do with the jumping clown. I will show him his true shape in a while." Then I shouted to Ye Xi, "You said. I use a poisonous scorpion to attack you, that's weird. How can a child like me drive a poisonous scorpion..."

Ye Xi waved his hands and said, "You have a scorpion pattern on your hand. With a big wave, there will be scorpions coming out of the soil... How can we see so many scorpions, we can only run for their lives... This is..." Ye Xi said. Then, tears flowed down unexpectedly.

It seems that he still has some emotions towards that elder brother, and the tears do not seem to be fake.

I smiled and said, "Your eldest brother didn't know that there was a poisonous miasma in the 100,000 mountains. He broke into the forest and turned into blood. In the end, only a pile of bones remained. Fortunately, he met me and I buried him! "

Ye Xi became more excited, begging Ephedra, and said, "Brother Ma, can you help me out, we have been friends for so many years. We have sold many medicinal materials in Qingyadong for you."

I thought to myself that the relationship between the two is not as stable as I imagined, but there is business friendship. Ephedra comforted Ye Xi, then stepped forward and said, "Boy, you have a scorpion pattern on your hand. Pull out your sleeve and show it to me."

I hesitated for a while, but I pulled up my sleeves, revealing the scorpion pattern on my left hand, and said, "This is a scorpion pattern, and it can move. If you encounter a wicked person, you will come out to bite. Uncle Ma Huang, you can see clearly. , Do you believe in yourself, or listen to outsiders' instigation!"

Ma Huang walked back and forth with a calm face, his eyes falling on the scorpion pattern on my arm several times. Ye Xi kept instigating with words.

Ephedra suddenly waved his left hand and said: "Enter the cave, I want to try your scorpion." Ephedra's eyes are not as fierce as before. It seems that things are turning for the better, and there is no need to fight for life.

Ye Xi was quite dissatisfied: "Brother Ma, you are so unkind, you just don't believe what your brother said."

Ma Huang said: "What is the truth? After I figure it out, I will deal with it impartially. Don't say it anymore." Of the two villagers behind him with knives, one walked to Ye Xi's side, and the other four came to me and me. Uncle Fatty's side.

I whispered to Uncle Fatty: "Things have a turnaround, let's not do it!"

Uncle Fatty thought for a while and shouted: "Ephedra, if the little girl in the room loses a hair, I want you to look good."

With a wave of Ephedra's sleeve, he did not speak any more, but strode forward. Ye Xi was driven by a long knife and limped to follow. I picked up the little white dog and followed the fat man.

Coming out of Qingyadong, I walked along the steps for more than ten minutes. On the side of the steps, there were a few broken trees that had withered for a long time. In a bush of thorns, there is a secret entrance, from the entrance, there is a cave.

"This is the place where I raise scorpions in Qingyadong." Ma Huang said, "When I go inside, I will let the scorpions come to test you."

Ye Xi's body trembled, and he was a little unable to stand. The strong man holding a knife next to him held him forward. When I heard tempting me with a scorpion, I knew that Ye Xi was about to expose her stuff, and didn't say much, so she followed quickly.

Uncle Fatty looked around alertly, and suddenly asked: "Ephedra, the cave where scorpions are raised in Qingyadong, or Lord Luo Doudou's scorpion cave, which one is more powerful?"

Ma Huang turned his head and glanced at Uncle Fatty. After a while, he said, "Of course it is Master Luo Doudou's Scorpion Hole... But his scorpion is used to kill people. My scorpion is used to save people. Here scorpions. When you grow up, you will act as a drug seller."

There was a movement in my heart. It turned out that scorpions can also be used to save people. It seems that Gu worms can also save people, but Master Black Skull only taught me the tricks of killing people, and didn’t teach me the tricks of saving people, but I don’t know how scorpions can save people anymore. .

Uncle Fatty said again: "What's the name of this hole, why is it still warm when you walk in, not so cold?"

Ma Huang responded, "This was formerly called the corpse cave. After the corpse cave was destroyed, it turned into a cave with a constant temperature and became a good place for scorpions to grow. I wanted to name the cave, but Master Luo Doudou has already With this name, I dare not presume, and still call it a corpse cave."

"What is the corpse cave for?" Ye Xi asked weakly.

"There is a corpse chaser in Xiangxi. After a person is left in this cave for a few days after death, he will turn into a zombie." Ma Huang said calmly, "Here used to raise zombies."

Ye Xi shuddered and almost fell to the ground.

I couldn't help but startled. I was shocked in a cold sweat from the back vest. It was amazing that there were caves dedicated to raising zombies in the world.

I remembered the yin gong in Luo Dajin's hand. He said that the yin gong was a yin gong used by an outstanding corpse driver in Miao Jiang a hundred years ago. I wonder if Ephedra knows who the outstanding corpse driver is

After walking inside for more than ten minutes, the ephedra made people light the torch. Gradually, the sound of the scorpions was heard. Judging from the sound, the number of scorpions was not large.

Ephedra suddenly stopped his steps. One meter in front of him, there were a few big scorpions with golden tails. They were fat, lying lazily in the middle of the road. On the rocks on both sides, there were some small scorpions, but the tails of small scorpions. It is red.

At first, I didn't like scorpions very much. Later, after inexplicably becoming a descendant of Luo Doudou, I won the title of "Scorpion King" again, and I didn't hate scorpions that much.

The little white dog in my arms looked at the scorpion group anxiously, his eyes rolling. Ephedra said: "The biggest golden-tailed scorpion king among them can tell who is telling the truth and who is telling lies. I will invite it over and let it try you."

I squinted and looked at the big rock in the middle of the road. A golden-tailed scorpion with a black tail and a golden tail was right on it. A scorpion occupies a large stone. It seems that it has an extraordinary position among the scorpions.

"Brother Ma, why don't you believe me... I'm afraid of the big scorpion." Ye Xi begged.

Ma Huang walked over, patted with both hands, then put his right hand on the edge of the stone, chanting strange words in his mouth. The big scorpion moved a few times, and finally climbed onto Ma Huang's right hand.

"Xiao Kang, this big scorpion is very scary, you have to be careful, be careful of its tail." Uncle Fatty was also sweaty on his forehead.

"Why be careful of its tail?" Ye Xi asked involuntarily.

"Idiot, the scorpion wags its tail, the toxin on its tail is the strongest on its body." I cursed, "If you are really stung by the golden scorpion king, I am afraid that half of his body will rot."

"Ah!" Ye Xi couldn't help screaming.

"Two, put your hands on the scorpion. If it doesn't move, it means that the person is telling the truth." Ma Huang said, "If it stings you with its tail, it means that the person is telling lies. Come on, Ye Xi, I believe you, you come first..."

Ye Xi's face was wrapped in gauze and he couldn't see his expression, but I believe his expression at the moment must be very interesting. He is digging a hole for himself, and I was so scared just now, if he dares to touch the back of the scorpion, he will not be the life of the little brother, he will be the eldest brother.

Ye Xi moved hard, pretending to be calm, smiled, and said, "Um, the adults will let the children. Let him touch the scorpion first, anyway... Anyway, I didn't tell lies. If... the scorpion stings him. Hand, it can naturally prove that I am telling the truth."

I laughed loudly and said, "You are really a bully. You want to avenge your elder brother, but you don't have the courage. You look good, I will let you see how this big scorpion treats people who tell the truth."

As soon as my voice fell, I took a deep breath, walked two steps forward, stopped next to Ephedra, and glanced at him. Ma Huang's eyes were a little hollow, he couldn't see what he was thinking, and said: "You have considered it well, and you have lost your life, don't blame me."

"Don't worry, if the scorpion can poison me, then my title of scorpion king should be given away, and keeping it is also a shame to myself." I hesitated for a moment, then raised my left hand and placed it on the back of the big scorpion.
