Chapter 226 Wasps are afraid of water
When we arrived at Lijiatun, Lao Li and Lin Mengchen had been waiting for a long time.
I saw Lin Mengchen when I sent Lao Li home before. I just glanced at it and didn't leave any deep impression. Today, after a closer look, I discovered the difference between her and an ordinary peasant woman. Although her face was simple and frosty, the elegant temperament of a lady from a family was naturally revealed, with her smile without showing her teeth and acting appropriately.
The meal was also very simple, two meats, two vegetables and one soup. After King Kong Pao and I sat down, Lao Li accompanied me, and Lin Mengchen washed and cleaned the stove and did not take her seat.
"Auntie, come and have a meal together," said King Kong Pao, turning his head to Lin Mengchen. Fugui called me and King Kong Pao as the eldest brother, and King Kong Pao has no airs, so he called her for the rest of his life.
"Don't be polite, I'll have to go to the West Courtyard to see it later." Lin Mengchen came over and smiled at King Kong Pao and I.
"Auntie, if you take this over to the little guy, we won't bother you." I took the small box that I had prepared long ago and handed it over, which contained a golden and jade long-lived lock I prepared for Lao Li's grandson.
"We cannot accept such an expensive gift, but we can accept it from Zhenren." Lin Mengchen looked at the small box in my hand and waved his hands repeatedly.
Lin Mengchen knew that the things in the box were very expensive just by looking at the box. I didn’t feel surprised because she knew the financial resources of King Kong Pao. If she didn’t give it to her, she would definitely be a precious item once she gave it to her.
Another thing is that the small box is made of rosewood. Although it is not the best chicken blood rosewood, it is also valuable. Lin Mengchen was born in a tomb robber family, so he naturally knew this kind of wood.
Seeing that Lin Mengchen didn't accept my gift, I turned to look at Lao Li, and the latter nodded slightly. Then Lin Mengchen thanked him and took the box and left.
I just ate. I wasn't full at noon and I was already hungry. When King Kong Pao and Lao Li were making a cup of tea, I had already eaten two bowls of rice and put down my chopsticks.
"Old Li, if you call Niu Zhenren in the future, I will be angry, just call Niu." King Kongpao said a lot as soon as he drank. At this moment, he was no longer the half-baked one he used to be. Instead, the name of the real person made him feel awkward.
"That's not the case. Niu Zhenren's Taoism has reached its peak. Except for Yu Zhenren, there is probably no one in the world who has this kind of cultivation." Lao Li's words did not have false compliments. His expression shows that he did think so, although he was not right.
"You should just pull it down. We both joined forces and never beat the old bald donkey in Jiuhua Mountain." King Kong Cannon drank the white wine in his cup, raised his sleeves and wiped his mouth.
"Haha." Old Li smiled and did not ask about the embarrassing things between me and King Kong Pao back then, but he did not change his name, and always called me and King Kong Pao as real people.
"Old Li, tell us how you treated hornets. Lao Yu and I were almost stung to death by that thing." King Kong Pao lay halfway on the kang and lit a cigarette.
"Those hornets are not afraid of fireworks, and they can only blow them away and not to kill them," Lao Li tidied up the table and returned to the kang to start the talk.
After the mysterious Taoist priest left that day, all the problems fell on Lao Li alone. The map in his hand only indicated the location of the ancient tomb but did not have a specific method to break the formation. Smoke and fire were useless. In the end, even the ** was used, which only attracted even more crazier attacks from the hornets, and the gap that the ** exploded would be filled by the hornets in a very short time.
Ordinary hornets will die soon after stinging, but this is not the case for those hornets in Kunlun Mountain. A few days later, these twenty or so people were stung to their noses and swollen faces, but there were very few corpses of hornets on the ground.
Later, Lao Li used a silver needle to nail a wasp to experiment and found that the hornet here can immediately grow new stings after losing the stings. The hornets will die only after they grow thirteen times in a row.
"One can stung more than a dozen needles, ten can be more than a hundred needles, and one hundred can be a thousand needles..." King Kong Pao calculated in fear.
"Why are those hornets not afraid of fire?" I turned to look at Lao Li. I had never observed those hornets at close range, and the captured prisoners were always wrapped in Taoist robe.
"Their wings are very similar to metals, but they are alive and have the organs of ordinary hornets in their bodies," said Old Li, shaking his head, "so I suspect that this strange phenomenon may occur after they eat some metal.
"Don't bee eat pollen? How could they eat metal?" King Kong Cannon interrupted.
The problem of the King Kong Cannon made Lao Li shake his head repeatedly, which shows that he doesn't understand the reason. However, I feel that hornets cannot eat metal, and the weirdness of their bodies and wings is probably related to the environment in which they live.
"What did you use to restrain them in the end?" I am more concerned about how Lao Li restrained the hornets.
Hearing my question, Lao Li said nothing for a long time, and waited until the cigarette butt hurt and threw it away and said, "To set up a formation with a living person..."
Lao Li had previously said that he was expelled from the Maoshan Sect because he used evil magic to kill seven lives. However, after listening to his specific practice, I couldn't help but feel chills all over and my hair stood up.
When Lao Li discovered that the hornets would die if they used up all their poisonous stings, he began to try every means to catch the prey and let the hornets sting. Later, he found that this method was not effective, because the captured prey was easily stung to death by the hornets, and the hornets would immediately stop attacking as soon as the prey died. Therefore, a group of people struggled for many days but did not achieve any real results.
Old Li was anxious and finally went astray!
While everyone was resting in the evening, he used the silver needle to stabilize the souls of the seven people in their bodies, and then used the magic to seal the Yang orifice so that the seven people had no breath. Then he lied that the seven people had been stung to death by the hornets, and instigated their companions to carry the seven people to the near-hive for the stinging stinging, which consumed the stinging of the stinging stinging.
"Those people were not dead at that time?" King Kong Pao looked at Lao Li in horror.
"They can't die even if they want to die. My soul is fixed," Lao Li raised his hand and pressed his forehead. "Although they can't speak or move, their consciousness is clear and they can feel pain."
"Why do you do this?" I looked up at Lao Li. The method he used was not enough to describe it. It was simply crazy moral depravity. No wonder his master would drive him out. If it were the case, I might have given him a sword!
"Time is coming soon," Old Li hugged his head with both hands, "I had agreed to have three months at the time. If I can't save anyone, my marriage will be ruined."
"You did this inappropriately." I can understand the pain of men and women falling in love but not being able to be together, but I still don't agree with Lao Li's excessive behavior. This is different from my enemies for Wang Yanpei's soul and Minghui. Lao Li killed all unrelated people.
"What do you owe? Just kill me. Anyway, those people are not good birds." King Kongpao took out a cigarette and handed it to Lao Li. He agreed with Lao Li's approach.
"If Fugui's mother hadn't become pregnant at that time, I wouldn't have done that," Lao Li took the cigarette and took a few sips to calm down.
"Don't you know that my aunt is pregnant before you left?" I asked.
"I didn't know at that time. I only knew about the Taoist priest who went back to pick up the opium and brought the letter back," Lao Li shook his head with a wry smile, "At that time, Fugui's mother had been locked up by Lin Xiong. If I couldn't do anything, Lin Xiong would abort our child." Without asking, Lin Xiong was Lin Mengchen's father.
"The tiger doesn't eat its own children, and the Lin family really has no good people." King Kongpao said hatefully.
"They are businessmen, and people without value are nothing in their eyes." I remembered Lin Yicheng's feelings. Lin Yicheng is willing to invest in people with value, and his skills are perfect.
"What happened later?" King Kongpao asked anxiously, "Are the hornet dead?"
"Except for the two big men who ran away, those were all dead. We exploded the beehive and entered the ancient tomb." Lao Li finished smoking the remaining cigarettes and pressed out the cigarette butts hard.
"What's inside?" I stopped the King Kong Cannon from entering the ancient tomb again and again, so he was eager to know the situation in the ancient tomb.
"It's very dark inside. I opened my eyes to see clearly what's happening inside. The people they led died in the tomb passage, and Lin Mengxuan and Lin Mengtian died at the door." Old Li smiled bitterly and shook his head, "They all started to smell."
"Did their hands fall?" King Kong Cannon probably recalled the details of the hornet taking out the watch and my analysis at that time.
"No, Lin Mengtian left the words with a dagger on the stone slab in the tomb passage before his death." Old Li denied the speculation of King Kong Cannon.
"What did you write?" King Kong Pao asked urged. King Kong Pao was impatient and I almost didn't have to speak with him. He asked all the questions.
"Bring Beijing Lin Xiong a heavy reward of 10,000 yuan." Old Li said very slowly, word by word.
"It's so fucking stingy," King Kong Pao sneered and shook his head.
"What are he going to bring back?" I asked.
"At that time, workers only had a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, and there were not many households in the township," Lao Li answered the questions of Jingangpao and me one by one, "They had a diary and a sword around them."
"The word Wu was written on the sword. The diary was written in code. There were more than a dozen pages, and I couldn't understand the content." Lao Li knew that we would ask questions, so he directly told what he knew.
"I can't understand at all?" The sword King Kong Cannon with the word "Wu" knew what was going on, and he was more concerned about the content of the diary.
"One of the sentences is useless. After reading them, I regretted it so much that I was so angry." Old Li sighed.
"Has the ancient tomb been stolen?" King Kong Pao stared at Lao Li.
"No, it says that hornets are afraid of water!" Old Li sighed repeatedly, "Actually, I should have thought that things that are not afraid of fire may be afraid of water. Unfortunately, I was anxious at that time, and the principles of Yin and Yang and Five Elements were all thrown behind my head."
"What happened later?" King Kongpao and I looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Where was the dragon on the back mountain of Zhenren Yu captured it?" Lao Li did not answer my question, but instead asked.
"Are there many dragons coming over after the hornets die?" I immediately guessed what Old Li wanted to say. The lake where Sanyin Pishui is located is not far from the beehive, and it is likely that there is a mutual restraint between the hornets and Sanyin Pishui.
Old Li nodded solemnly, "They eat people."
"Their favorite is fish." King Kong Cannon became a master.
"So you only entered the tomb passage and didn't move forward?" I waved my hand and signaled that King Kong Cannon should not talk too much.
"I escaped with the ancient sword and diary with another person." Old Li nodded.
"Who knows the Dharma?" I asked. It is definitely not easy for those who can escape under the attack of Sanyin Pishui.
"No, he can escape because the dragons don't attack him," Old Li pondered for a moment, "The dragon can let him go is probably related to the big scorpion in his bag."
"Can he catch a scorpion?" I asked in confusion. Scorpion's nature is yin, which can cover up human yang energy. The three Yins will not attack such things.
"He doesn't know. He has a good relationship with the Taoist priest who escorted us. Both of them smoked big cigarettes. The scorpion was given to him by the Taoist priest." Old Li said recalling.
"That Taoist likes to catch scorpions?" I pulled out a cigarette and lit it.
Lao Li nodded, "He would go to search for places where there were scorpions along the way, but he would shake his head and come back every time. Once I asked him what he was looking for, and he said he was looking for something he was looking for..."
