Chapter 6 Chapter Five The Psychic Toad

The fat man and I rested for a while, feeling hungry and afraid to eat the fish in the river, so we had to fight back to get up and walk forward.Fatty helped me stagger forward, looking around as I walked, hoping to find something to eat.Along the way, I met a few lizards and crawled forward, but they were so huge that the fat man didn't dare to do anything. Fortunately, those lizards didn't do anything to us.After walking a few hundred meters, I found a hole beside the valley, surrounded by lizard bones, probably where the centipede lived.We were afraid that if there were other centipedes, we slipped past quietly, but luckily no other centipedes appeared.After walking about tens of meters, another underground river appeared in front of me, which was at least several times wider than the one where the strange fish was.The fat man said: Seventh brother, I don’t know if there is such a strange fish here. I haven’t drank any water since I came in, and my throat is almost cracked.I saw two lizards drinking water leisurely not far downstream, so I watched them carefully until the two lizards drank enough water and left without any strange fish attacking, then I let the fat man drink water with confidence.At first, I was worried that there would be problems with the water, but now that I am thirsty, I can't control that much anymore.

The two drank a lot of water, the hunger was not as strong as before, and I felt my body regained some strength, but the calf still hurt badly.The two walked along the river for a while, and the fat man muttered: I don't know what these lizards eat, do they just drink water?One sentence reminded me, and I slapped my head: Stupid, why didn’t I think of it, come on, fat man, find a lizard to follow and see what they eat.Fatty also understood immediately, looking for lizards while walking.After walking for a while, they encountered a not very huge lizard. The two of them followed the lizard and stared for half a mile, and found that a fork opened beside the valley, forming another small valley. We went in, and we immediately followed in.

Entering the small valley, the small valley is full of mist, and the gaps between the stones on both sides are covered with white mushrooms. The big ones are the size of a tabletop, and the small ones are as small as the mouth of a bowl, which is really rare.Several lizards in the valley were gnawing on the mushrooms. Some of them looked up at us two uninvited guests, then lowered their heads and continued to eat, not taking us seriously.At that moment, the fat man picked a few small ones, and the two of them sat down and ate them raw. I ate two, and I drank a stomach full of water just now. I felt much fuller, so I leaned against a stone to rest.The fat man ate five or six in a row before he stopped, wiped his mouth and said: Damn, this is the best food I have ever eaten, and these lizards are also the most beautiful animals I have ever seen.I knew that the fat man was comparing the lizard to the blood snake centipede, so I nodded in agreement.

I asked the fat man to take a few big mushrooms, and was about to go out and continue walking along the river when I heard a few frogs croaking in the valley. I looked at the fat man, and he knew what I meant, and immediately shook his head like The salesman was like a drum: no, no, resolutely not, in case there are some monsters again, just like the two of us now, we are still going to die.I know that the fat man is telling the truth, but I think of the hole Yu Lao told us he saw. The hole was full of big toads, but the hole we came in was not there. Obviously we went to the wrong hole. Now that we hear the frogs, we have to take a gamble. If we happen to find the exit, then there is hope for our survival.I told Fatty about my thoughts, although Fatty was afraid of encountering monsters again, he reluctantly agreed when he heard that there was a chance to go out, plus he has always been ignorant and always listens to my orders when encountering problems.

The two walked into the valley and found that an unknown snake was tightly entangled with a palm-sized toad, and the toad was about to suffocate to death.Fatty himself was afraid of snakes, and after the Blood Snake Valley incident, he hated snakes deeply. Fortunately, the snake was not big. Fatty pulled out his dagger and shot it like a dart. Nailed to the ground, the snake writhed and entangled for a while, straightened its body, and died.I walked over and pulled out the dagger, kicked the dead snake far away, and handed the dagger back to the fat man. The fat man said: Brother Seven, you are not afraid that the snake is poisonous. What if it didn't die and bit you just now?Cut out another piece of meat?I smiled: Poisonous snakes don’t entangle their prey to death before eating them. They bite the prey directly and poison them to death, and then slowly entangle the prey’s bones and then swallow it whole. The snake didn't bite it just now, but wrapped it around, so it must not be poisonous.The fat man gave a thumbs up and said: Brother Seven knows a lot.I also did my part and raised my head.

I saw that the toad was only the size of a palm, which was far from the size of a bucket that Yu honestly said. I was very disappointed, so I walked back with the fat man, wanting to go back and continue to find a way along the river.After walking a few steps, the escaped toad slowed down, croaked twice, took off a few times, and jumped in front of us, stopped in the way, and stared at us.I couldn't help laughing: "Little Toad, what's the matter, you won't let us go, don't you want to repay your kindness!"The fat man laughed loudly: Seventh brother, you really think, toad knows how to repay his kindness.Unexpectedly, the little toad seemed to understand me, and "croaked" twice.I was secretly curious, but I was afraid it was a coincidence, so I tried again: If you can understand me, you can call three times, if you want to repay the favor, call five times.I thought to myself, if there are still two calls, it is a coincidence.Unexpectedly, the little toad listened to me, first yelled "quack quack" three times in a row, and then "quack quack quack" five times, the fat man's eyeballs suddenly opened wide.

The fat man murmured: There are so many wonders in the goddamn world. The toad can understand human speech. I guess my old sow may also be able to climb trees.I burst out laughing, and cursed with a smile: Although this toad is not big, it may have lived in this valley for thousands of years. How can it be compared to your old sow.When the little toad heard what I said, he gave two "croaks" to express his agreement.At the moment I didn't care too much, I knelt down and said to the little toad, "Brother Toad, our two brothers fell into this valley because of our greed. If you know the way out, help us to get out of the valley." If you don't know, then I won't bother you anymore, we will find our way out by ourselves, call twice if we know, and call once if we don't know.The little toad said "quack" twice to show that it knew, I was ecstatic, I didn't expect that an unintentional act would allow me and the fat man to have hope, after I get out, I will do more good deeds, and I will never covet any treasures again, lest I risk my life in vain.

Seeing that the two of us believed in it, the little toad gave me two "croaks" and jumped into the valley. I knew it must be leading the way for us, so I quickly pulled the fat man to follow closely.The farther you go, the wider the valley becomes. Instead, the fog inside the valley is not as heavy as the outside. It permeates lightly, and there is a faint fragrance coming from the front.I was immersed in the joy of going out, when suddenly I heard two loud "croaks" coming from the front, like the cry of a cow, extremely loud, the trembling valley echoed continuously, it was definitely not caused by the little toad I can make it. I know there are a lot of monsters in this underground valley, and it must be some kind of poisonous monster. I am terrified. I can tell from the sound that this monster is not small. With the current physical strength of Fatty and I, it is absolutely impossible to please, let alone I'm still hurt.

I hurriedly wanted to call that little toad back, so as not to kill it again, but who knew that the little toad jumped even faster when it heard the loud noise, made a few "swish, swish" sounds, and disappeared.The fat man said: Seventh brother, we were fooled, this little X raised us to lure us to die, run back quickly.After talking, he pulled me back and ran back. After a few steps, there was a "boom" sound from behind, and the monster had already chased him. The speed of the sound was not very fast, but every time there was a sound, the distance was shortened a lot .I knew that with the two of us now, we couldn’t run away, so I said to the fat man: Fatty, don’t worry about me, I have a leg injury, it will only drag you down and send you to death, you run quickly, I will block it for a while.The fat man opened his eyes wide with anger, and said in a squeaky voice, "Seventh brother, if we die, we will die together, if we die, we will live together, we will fight it."After saying that, I stopped running at all, turned around, pulled out the dagger, and stood in front of me, waiting for the monster to chase me and fight to the death.

There was a loud "boom", and I saw a super huge toad falling from the sky in front of me. I looked up from below, and I could only see the big toad's chin, with four legs like four pillars, lying on it The belly is more than one meter high from the ground, and the big courtyard of the old man's house in Beijing probably couldn't fit it in.When I saw such a big one, I thought to myself, just me and the fat man, there is no chance to fight hard, this guy can trample me and the fat man into meatloaf with just one foot, so I don't have any other plans , simply closed his eyes and waited to die, the fat man was also stunned, standing there with his mouth wide open, like a wood carving clay sculpture.

After a while, the big toad did not attack us. I couldn’t help being surprised. When I opened my eyes, I saw the little toad that the fat man and I saved was jumping around in front of the big toad, just like a child acting like a baby in front of its mother. .The big toad was also looking at the little toad jumping there, although its appearance was very scary, but its eyes were full of tenderness and love, without any hint of fierceness.The little toad jumped for a while, and kept "croaking" to the big toad, and the big toad would respond twice from time to time, and the sound was far less loud and deafening than what we heard at first.The two toads yelled for a while, and the big toad looked at me and the fat man, and the fat man trembled and said: Brother Seven, look, the two of them must be discussing how to divide our meat.As soon as the words were finished, the big toad stretched out its tongue and struck the fat man like lightning. The fat man fell 2 meters away, turned over and jumped up and rubbed his buttocks in pain. The big toad didn't continue to chase, but gave me two "croaks". I saw that the big toad didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, so I asked boldly: "You have no malicious intentions towards us?"The big toad responded with two "croaks" again.I was relieved, turned around and said to the fat man: "Fatty man, don't talk nonsense, this toad has no malice towards us, put away the dagger."The fat man inserted the dagger as he said, and stood beside me without saying a word.I also inserted the dagger, and said to the big toad: Can you take us out?We are trapped in this valley in a moment of greed, please help us out.The big toad gave two more "croaks" to express its agreement, then stuck out its tongue and rolled me and the fat man together, rolled it up and put it on its back, then rolled up the little toad and put it on it.I made a strong jump, and the jump was several meters high. I was in mid-air unprepared, with the wind whistling in my ears, and the valleys on both sides receded quickly. I was so scared that I closed my eyes tightly and dared not look again. After a few jumps, the feeling was not as scary as it was at the beginning. When I opened my eyes, I saw a red bump every one meter or so on the big toad’s back. There were at least dozens of them on the entire back. You don't have to worry about falling down, but it's very comfortable.After dozens of jumps, several huge palaces appeared in front of us. The toad stopped in front of the palaces, rolled us down with its tongue, and put us gently on the ground.I raised my head and looked at the palace in front of me. Although the palace looks huge in appearance, it is not gorgeous. It is built of long strips of huge stones. Same mushroom.The big toad took the lead in crawling towards the palace, but didn't go in when it got to the door. He turned his head and gave us two "croaks" to signal us to go in. The little toad even jumped over directly, and we followed in quickly. We came in and found out why the big toad didn't come in. Although the palace gate was as big as two or three ordinary doors, it obviously couldn't squeeze the huge body of the big toad.We followed the little toad all the way in, and it was empty, with nothing in it, let alone gold and silver treasures.Walking to the second room, in the middle of the room, there is a large stone tablet with ancient characters engraved on it. It turned out that Uncle Wu had taught me this knowledge, so I stopped and looked carefully. Behind the stone tablet is a large pool. Fatty didn't know ancient Chinese, so he walked around behind the stone sign to see the big pool. As soon as I understood a few sentences with difficulty, the fat man over there exclaimed: Brother Seven, come quickly, there is a dead man in this pool!I heard the sound and ran over to have a look, and sure enough there was a dead body sitting in the pool, the water had been overflowing the top of the head, there was no corruption at all, if it wasn't for the livid complexion, it would be no different from a living person.The fat man was about to go into the water to pick it up. I hurriedly called out to stop the fat man. No one has set foot here for thousands of years. If we hadn’t happened to save the little toad, we would have been eaten by the big toad before we reached the palace. The fact that corpses have not rotted for thousands of years must have something to do with this water. Maybe the water contains substances that are harmful to living people.At this time, the little toad screamed "quack" in front of the stone tablet, as if asking me to read the ancient text on the tablet.I told the fat man not to move around, and walked over to read the sign carefully. The fat man couldn't understand, and kept asking me, but I ignored him. After watching two cups of tea, I finally understood the ins and outs of this place. I looked back Looking at the fat man, he cursed bitterly: Damn, I didn't expect this to be my ancestor's grave. The fat man hurriedly asked me what was going on, and I told the fat man exactly what was written on the plaque. It turned out that the owner of this tomb was Yuguanshan, a pioneer under Wei Qing during the Han Wu period.However, the records on the sign are different from what the old man told us. During the Hanwu period, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was so happy that he often sent troops to conquer the east and the west, and the treasury was empty.The brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, Wei Qing, the general of the world's soldiers and horses, did not know where he found out that Chizhu, the king of Miaojiang in Yunnan, traveled all over the world and once traveled far to the East China Sea. He accidentally discovered an ancient tomb on the sea. Countless, gold and silver are piled up like mountains.But Chi Zhu did not loot the ancient tomb, but ordered his subordinates to describe the detailed location of the ancient tomb and hide them in five treasures, so that the five guardians of the Yunnan Five Poison Sect could guard them respectively.Because the treasury was empty and Emperor Wu of the Han was in urgent need of money, he ordered Miaojiang King Chizhu to hand over the treasure map, but this Miaojiang king was upright and upright by nature, so he didn't buy the account of Han Wudi.The wife of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, Wei Qing's younger sister, encouraged Liu Che to send troops to attack Miao Jiang, and Emperor Wu of the Han ordered Wei Qing to lead an army to attack Miao Jiang. Nobody takes advantage.At present, my ancestor, that is, Yuguan Mountain, is also an expert in poisoning. When he was young, he went to Miaojiang, Yunnan, and visited the master of poisoning Gu. He also had a close relationship with Chizhu, so he volunteered to go to Miao Village Negotiate with Chizhu to see if it can be resolved peacefully.Chi Zhu led the Miao people, after one battle, more than half of them were killed or injured. This Miao Jiang king always loved the Miao people very much, and he couldn't bear to continue the confrontation. It happened that Yuguan Mountain went to negotiate. They agreed that Chizhu would hand over the treasure map on the condition that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's army would withdraw from Miaojiang and never invade. When Yuguanshan went back to the barracks and told Wei Qing, Wei Qing immediately agreed, and sent someone to send fifty altars of good wine to the Miao Village to show his condolences.Chizhu was upright, thinking that the Han army had negotiated a peace and would not do anything bad, so she distributed the fifty altars of good wine to the Miao people for drinking, and she did not keep the same altar with several high-ranking generals.Unexpectedly, these Miao people drank the wine and fell to the ground to die. After a while, the Han army attacked the village in a big way, and the blood of the killed Miao village flowed into rivers, and dead bodies were everywhere.Under the desperate escort of five guardians of the Five Poison Sect, Yu Chan, Blood Snake, Iron Centipede, Demon Spider, and Silver Scorpion, and the personal Eighteen Golden Sword Guards, Chi Zhu broke out of the encirclement and fled into the barren mountain. It turned out that Wei Qing secretly ordered people to pour a colorless and tasteless poison into the wine, poisoning most of the Miao people to death first, and then ordered the army to attack the Miao village.Yuguanshan was furious when he knew what was going on, and scolded Wei Qing for breaking his promise. Also please order to return the title of Chizhu Miaojiang King.Yuguanshan thought that Wei Qing was really just forced by the king's order, but now his conscience found out that he wanted to get Chizhu back as compensation, so he really went to look for Chizhu alone, and he found Chizhu at the altar of the Five Poison Sect.The five guardians and eighteen golden sword guards guarding Chizhu wanted to kill Yuguanshan to vent their anger, but they were stopped by Chizhu. That kind of despicable and shameless villain, the poisoned wine incident must have nothing to do with him, there must be something hidden in it, and then Yuguanshan told him the whole story, and repeatedly begged Chizhu to return to the Miao Village to be sealed.Chi Zhu's subordinate Yu Chan, the Dharma protector, was very intelligent, and pointed out that Wei Qing's move was really a scam, intending to trick Chi Zhu back and kill him.Chizhu sent blood snake guards to visit the camp of the Han army at night, and it turned out that Wei Qing's move was a scam.Chi Zhu made it clear that Wei Qing must kill Chi Zhu right now, otherwise Chi Zhu would be worried that Chi Zhu would leak information about the treasure map to other people, and Miao people are fierce, so it is very clever to poison the poison, and also worried that Chi Zhu will be killed in the future. Take revenge on him.In order for the Han army to withdraw from the Miao territory as soon as possible and stop killing the Miao people, Chizhu had to die.It's just that this treasure map must not fall into the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, otherwise Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will continue to conquer the treasures in the tomb, and the people of the world will suffer.After destroying this map, he was afraid that Wei Qing would not give up and continued to search in Miaojiang, and the Miao people would be in danger of being killed.Now Chi Zhu begged Yuguan Mountain to keep the treasure map and not fall into Wei Qing's hands, and ordered the five protectors to hand over the five treasures, and then slayed himself to death. As soon as Chizhu died, Yuguanshan wanted to take away the five great guardians and the eighteen golden sword guards, and repeatedly stated that they would save their lives. Unexpectedly, seeing that Chizhu was dead, the five great guardians and the eighteen golden sword guards did not want to be reborn, so they resolutely If not, I plan to bury Chizhu's body and commit suicide to thank the Lord.The five guardians also sent the five poisonous things he had cultivated all his life, the black-crowned blood snake, the iron-clad centipede, the psychic jade toad, the eight-clawed spider, and the silver-tailed poisonous scorpion, to Yuguan Mountain. Nearly extinct, please treat Yuguanshan kindly.Yuguanshan reluctantly agreed, took five treasures and five poisons, and returned to the barracks.At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had received the news of Wei Qing's victory, rewarded the three armies, and named Yuguan Mountain as the general of the poisonous saint.Knowing that Chizhu was dead, Wei Qing asked Yuguan Mountain where the treasure was. Yuguan Mountain lied, saying that the treasure was hidden in a nearby tomb, and he would go to pick it up tomorrow and present it to the court. Wei Qing was overjoyed and gave Yuguan Mountain five hundred The elite soldiers help him fight back.He agreed at Yuguan Pass, but at night he took dozens of his cronies and fled without a trace.At the moment when the northern Turkic troops were attacking, Emperor Wu of the Han urgently called Wei Qing back to the capital to discuss military affairs, so the matter was delayed. Yuguan Mountain brought dozens of cronies, fled here after tossing and turning, found this natural underground valley, lived in seclusion nearby, built this palace in the valley, and stocked the five poisonous substances in the valley.Decades later, among those cronies who were old and dead, Yuguanshan was the only one who knew the secret.Nowadays, the northern Turks have been pacified long ago, and Wei Qing's minions are looking for Yuguan Mountain everywhere. Yuguan Mountain and those cronies have already multiplied here. In the fluid, I drowned myself alive.This is the end of the writing, there is another picture below, engraved on the picture is a tall man who is raising his sword to kill himself, there is a person kneeling in front of him, holding a few treasures in his hands, and a group of people are standing beside him, looking sad, the picture There is also a line of small characters next to it: Qinglonggou in Miaojiang, Yunnan. After hearing this, the fat man cursed: "This Wei Qing is really a fucking thing. I found his grave the other day, so I had to dig it out and beat him up."But I thought to myself, no wonder the stone elephant that entered the door looked very similar to me, it turned out to be my ancestor, and the three people kneeling in front of the stone elephant must be Liu Che, Wei Qing and the queen.Thinking of the ancestor's corpse in this pond, he couldn't help feeling sad, walked to the edge of the pond, knelt down and kowtowed heavily.
