Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven
Huo Xiaoxie and his group of seven had already arrived in a huge hollow where they could not see their fingers. The ground under their feet was no longer a solid stone, but was covered with huge intertwined vines.
Pan Zi yelled, "Where is this place? There's no light at all. Can we light the lamp?" The echo of Pan Zi's words came, but he couldn't tell how big this place was.
Lin Wan said: "This is the Mu Family's Qingmanzhixu Palace, everyone, please don't light up the lamps! Wait for me for a moment."
The sound of Lin Wan's footsteps walked away quickly without any hesitation, as if she was very familiar with the terrain here.
After a while, a group of pale yellow lights rose in the distance, and then more and more, as if sensing, the lights spread out one by one, and finally filled the eyes.
Only then did everyone see clearly that this place was not considered a cave at all, but in a vast "woodland".It's just that this woodland is composed of thick roots and vines, covering the sky and the sun, intertwined in the air and on the ground, and there is no rock in sight.
Lin Wan ran back quickly, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, but firefly melons can only be used to light up here. Other lights may cause poisonous gas to erupt. It's hard work for everyone to walk in the dark. Well, it’s better to be careful.”
The firefly melons that Lin Wan mentioned were human-head-sized spherical objects on some tiny vines, not fruits, but strange-shaped stems.These vines are coiled on the huge root system, which seems to rely on the root system to grow. It is said to be small, but it is actually as thick as an arm, tightly entwining the root system in circles.Only because the root system is too thick, it is not conspicuous.
Huo Xiaoxie opened her mouth, she didn't care to listen to Lin Wan's explanation, she just murmured: "Green Vine Palace, why are there so many roots underground..."
Lin Wan smiled and said: "It can't be regarded as a tree root. This is a rare plant called a cracked mountain root. It only survives in extremely deep underground caves. After thousands of years of improvement by the Mu family and supplemented with enough nutrients, it grows at an amazing speed. , and eventually became this shape.”
Pan Zi exclaimed, "What nourishment can make the roots grow so strong? If you use it to raise pigs, wouldn't pigs grow into elephants?"
Lin Wan said: "Under this Daqing Mountain, there are biological corpses accumulated over hundreds of millions of years. The part that has not been turned into oil is the best nourishment for cracking the roots of the mountain. The reason why the Five Elements Palace is here is because Daqing Mountain is What about the Five Elements Treasure Land created by heaven and earth!"
Shui Meier smiled coquettishly, and said, "It's really an eye-opener. Sister Lin Wan, what did you say about poisonous gas just now?"
Lin Wan said: "The cracked mountain roots are not poisonous, but the several vines that live on the cracked mountain roots are poisonous. There is no light here all year round. If there is sudden external light, several kinds of vines will emit poisonous mist. If ordinary people If you don’t understand the reason, if you enter casually, you will be poisoned and die.”
Huo Xiaoxie clicked her tongue and said, "What a powerful method, but Lin Wan, didn't she keep saying that the Green Vine Palace is also abolished?"
Lin Wan smiled and said, "It's indeed useless, otherwise we wouldn't be able to come here at all."
Tian Wen has been looking around in a daze, and then he slowly said: "How should I go?" Tian Wen has been in charge of finding the way, so he would not say such a thing easily, he is a native of the earth, and he is very familiar with the acme of the Qingmanyuexu Palace. Zhimu was quite helpless.
Lin Wan smiled slightly, and said, "Tian Wen, let me tell you that it will definitely be useful if I come with you. The wood energy is too strong here, and the pathfinding technique of the Tujia is extremely difficult. Although the complexity of the path is not comparable to the maze formation of the Tujia Bi, it will also make you unable to use it for a while, everyone should follow me."
As Lin Wan said, she walked lightly along a thick root system.
Everyone followed Lin Wan, sighing all the way, and followed quickly.
Although there is no way at all, and the intertwined roots ahead are dense like a cobweb, irregular, but Lin Wan keeps walking, climbing up and down, left and right, walking through the featureless gaps, seeming very familiar with this place.
Although everyone had a lot of questions, there was no time to ask them at this time, they just followed closely, walked for a while, and looked down, only to find that their feet were all empty, but they were walking on a root system that crossed out of nowhere.It turns out that this green vine radial palace is made up of a mess of cracked mountain roots, and there is no end in sight. It is full of huge root systems in a mess, and there is no earth, rock and mud.If it is shrunk down, it will look like a mess, kneaded together fiercely, and people walking in it will be like tiny flies.
Along the way, Lin Wan kept stroking, and a firefly gourd lit up, illuminating the surroundings, but after walking a short distance, the firefly gourd behind her would slowly go out.Under this light, the Green Vine Palace is even more magical, not to mention firefly melons, from time to time you can see trumpet-sized bright red flowers in full bloom, seven or eight of which gather in clusters, extremely beautiful and colorful, as soon as people leave As soon as you enter, these flowers will tremble slightly and hang their heads down, as if they are alive, afraid that outsiders will come and see their beauty.In addition to countless red flowers, the most common ones to see are sharp wood thorns, the small thorns are no longer than the length of the palm, and the big thorns are as thick as a person, with blue light at the tip, which seems to be poisonous.
Seeing these scenes, Lin Wan reminded herself: "Those red flowers are the flowers of Qingshan vine. Don't touch them. These flowers will die when touched. After death, they emit powdery flower poison, which is very troublesome. Those sharp flowers The thorns are the sharp branches of the Xushan vine, which penetrate the cracked roots and absorb nutrients, and are also highly poisonous."
Lin Wan walked for a while, then stopped suddenly, turned her head nervously, frowned, and signaled everyone not to speak. .
Everyone was quite surprised, and quietly gathered together, looked forward, and saw that the vines on the root system in front of them were tangled into a ball with two heights, lying across the road, blocking the direction of travel.This ball of grass is also strange, its appearance is not good, it is only made up of dense vines entangled, but there is a faint light coming out of it, as if it is wrapped in some living thing, and it is slowly beating with everyone's breathing.
Seeing everyone stop, Lin Wan said: "This kind of monster is actually born! I thought there would be no such thing after the ruined palace! If this thing is not dead, we can only change a road and bypass it far away. It's gone."
Huo Xiaoxie asked: "What the hell is this?"
Lin Wan bit her lip and said: "The Mu family cultivates and transforms various plants to make them have special functions, but sometimes it is impossible to predict all the consequences. Some plants mutate themselves and produce many unpredictable changes. The Mu family said The thing born of this mutation is Muyu (pronounced Tongpan). This should be called Radian Muyu. It is a hybrid of Radius and Vine. It is also called Muyu Gu. Sigh! The Mu family deliberately changed creatures. traits, the characteristics of life and reproduction are messed up, and it is a sin to produce such a foreign object that cannot be tolerated in the world!"
Shui Meier smiled and said, "Sister Lin Wan, why does this wooden house make you so afraid?"
Lin Wan said dejectedly: "You don't know, most of the wooden Gu village of the Mu family was destroyed under the wooden house more than a hundred years ago. Until now, the wooden Gu village can't be entered. Don't look at this wooden house is quiet now. If we Take another step closer to disturb it, within a radius of 500 steps, I am afraid that there will be no ants."
Shui Mei'er was startled and said: "Wood Gu Village has been forbidden to enter for more than a hundred years, so it was caused by this wooden man? No one dares to trespass, and let such a small thing occupy it?"
Lin Wan nodded, and said: "I thought it was impossible for the wood to grow back after the palace was abolished, but it turned out to be so big!"
Huo Xiaoxie interjected: "Lin Wan, Shui Meier, you've been talking for a long time, what's so great about this wooden house?"
Lin Wan said: "I don't know, and neither does my father Mu Wang. People who have seen Mu Yanfa all die. Let's avoid it, this is the only way."
Huo Xiaoxie said: "Is there no way to get rid of it?"
Lin Wan said with shame: "There is a way to make a huge box with agarwood hardwood, slowly cover the wooden box, use a wooden knife made of iron tree branches, quickly cut it off by the roots, close it in the box, and then It can be eradicated by soaking in strong alkaline water for seventy-seven forty-nine days. But how can we have these preparations?"
Huo Xiaoxie sighed: "Then we can't do it, let's go around."
Lin Wan looked at Muyu a few more times, sighed, and led everyone to the side, far away from here.
After walking for a long time, Lin Wanxi said: "Here we are!" She quickly ran a few steps, climbed up a giant vine, got out from the crack in the two root systems, and beckoned everyone to come up.
Everyone drilled out one by one, their eyes lit up, and they saw that the place they were in was a hollow high place surrounded by cracked mountain roots.This hollow is surrounded by layers of Lieshan roots, only some branches protrude, and the whole looks very flat. The stone floor is exposed under the hollow. There are eight stone pots on the ground, which seem to contain liquids of different colors.
Strange to say, with the power of cracking the roots of the mountain, it is not easy to invade here, but they all avoid it obediently, forming a circular hollow surrounded by roots?Looking at the four walls of the cavity, even the firefly melons are three or four times larger than the ones outside, and there are thousands of them half-hanging outside, making the cavity as bright as day, as if it is specially used for lighting. inside will not go out.
Lin Wan smiled and said, "Everyone follow me to the bottom! It's safe here, let's go down and rest!"
Everyone went down to the bottom very briskly, and stepped on the ground, which was paved with gray bricks and stones, which was very solid.
Lin Wan said: "I'll find something to eat for everyone." Then, Lin Wan took out a small knife, ran to the root of the cracked mountain, gouged out a large piece with her hand.
Lin Wan threw it to Pan Zi to catch it, and said, "Pan Zi, try it, it tastes very good."
Pan Zi looked at the cracked mountain root, which was white and seemed to be very delicious. He hesitated for a moment, then took a bite with a smirk, chewed it carefully, and shouted: "It tastes good! It's sweet and smooth! Why is this ugly tree root so delicious?"
Pan Zi gnawed heavily, eating with great enjoyment.
Qiao Da and Qiao Er didn't say anything along the way, seeing Pan Zi eating like this, he was greedy, and shouted: "Master Pan, save some!"
Pan Zi rolled his eyes at the two gluttons and ignored them.
Lin Wan smiled and said, "There are a lot here! Don't worry, eat as much as you want."
Lin Wan raised the knife in her hand and cut out a few more pieces, and handed them to Qiao Da, Qiao Er, Huo Xiaoxie, Shui Meier, and Tian Wen respectively.
Tian Wen and Shui Meier just took a bite and stopped eating. Lin Wan was not surprised, she also cut off a piece of cracked mountain root and sat on the ground to eat.Seeing this, Tian Wen and Shui Meier sat around with Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi just now, and tasted it slowly.
Qiao Da and Qiao Er ate up in the blink of an eye, and then shouted: "It's too enjoyable, is it enough, Master Lin Wan, let's have a few more dollars."
Lin Wan smiled and said, "Go and dig it yourself. All the cracked roots around this hollow are edible."
Qiao Da and Qiao Erle yelled loudly, rushed to the root of the cracked mountain, hugged and gnawed, rumbling.
Huo Xiaoxie ate a few pieces and found it delicious. It quenched his thirst and satisfied his hunger.
Huo Xiaoxie patted his stomach and said: "The Mu family really knows how to enjoy it. In this messy forest, they have found a place where the temperature is moderate and where they don't have to worry about eating and drinking. Lin Wan, where is this place? We still have to go where?"
Lin Wan pointed to the eight stone pots in the center of the open space, and said, "This is the exit of the Qingmanzhi Palace."
Lin Wan pointed to the eight stone pots in the center of the open space, and said, "This is the exit of the Qingmanzhi Palace."
Huo Xiaoxie was surprised and said: "This is the exit? Hahahaha, the three palaces in front are very strenuous, I thought the road behind is still long."
Lin Wan said: "Qingmanradiu Palace is different from other palaces. This is both an entrance and an exit."
Huo Xiaoxie asked: "Ah? What does this mean?"
When Huo Xiaoxie asked like this, Tian Wen, Shui Meier, Pan Zi and others all looked over, waiting for Lin Wan to explain.
Lin Wan said: "Although the Green Vine Palace is abolished, we don't have too much risk here, but all the cracked roots and vines are still alive, unlike other underground palaces built with dead things such as water, fire, gold and earth. Look at the open space. Eight stone pots, filled with different medicines, can reach the main vein of the root of the cracked mountain. Before the palace is abandoned, eight kinds of potions must be injected into the stone pots separately to reveal the exit. , the exit that appears is false, we will be led into a place where we will never recover, even if we can escape by luck, we will still be spinning around in the underground palace. So it is both an entrance and an exit."
Huo Xiaoxie asked: "What about now?"
Lin Wan smiled slightly and said, "Now, you only need to pour the juice from the cracked mountain root into the eight stone pots, and the correct outlet will appear."
Huo Xiaoxie said happily: "So that's it! Then it's better to abolish it, it's better to abolish it."
Lin Wan smiled and said, "Then everyone decides whether to leave now, or rest for a while?"
Huo Xiaoxie shouted: "Night Changed has many dreams, I think let's go now."
Tian Wen also nodded and said, "Very good."
Pan Zi was still nibbling on the stems of the cracked mountain roots, and said vaguely, "I'm fine."
As Pan Zi spoke, he turned his head and saw that Qiao Da and Qiao Er were still gnawing on the cracked mountain root, eating endlessly, and cursed: "Have you two eaten enough? If you eat any more, you will be stuffed to death! We it's time to go!"
Only then did Qiao Da and Qiao Er stop, wiping their mouths and jumping down, they said, "Let's go? Oh, good, good. I really have to go, I haven't had enough."
Pan Zi scolded: "You two bitches! Stick!"
Lin Wan said: "Don't eat too much at one time, cracked mountain roots are delicious, but if you eat too much, you will become addicted. Once you become addicted, it is similar to eating opium, but Qiao Da and Qiao Er are in good health, and you can eat it again." More than ten catties. Hehe, since everyone says they want to leave, let's go."
Shui Mei'er smiled coquettishly, and said, "I haven't spoken yet."
Lin Wanrou said softly, "Sister Shui Meier, do you have any questions?"
Shui Meier stretched her muscles and said with a smile: "No wonder everyone, people from the Shui family are more curious. Since it is not easy to get here, can sister Lin Wan satisfy my curiosity."
Lin Wan said with a pleasant face: "Sister Shui Meier just ask, I know everything without saying anything."
Shui Meier smiled coquettishly: "I'm sorry, hee hee. Sister Lin Wan, this underground palace is really magical and intricate. It is a natural maze. Sister Lin Wan is very familiar with the road along the way. She seems to be very familiar with this place. How did you do it when you came here? Including bypassing that wooden door, and walking a long way around, without stopping at all along the way."
Lin Wanying smiled and said: "Well, it's actually very simple for the Mu family. I smell the smell to find the way. Hehe, the Mu family's sense of smell is much more sensitive than ordinary people. When the palace was abandoned, many The place is covered with odor spots, and as soon as I smell it, I know it is the signal of the Mu family's safety, so I came here very easily."
Shui Meier let out a long cry, and said with a coquettish smile: "What a clever way! It's just that after the Mu family ruined the palace, they should tell the other thief kings how to break the palace. If the earth king comes here, he won't be able to smell it. ,what can we do about it?"
Lin Wan said: "I don't know the details, but there must be a way. For example, put two special pills made by the Mu family in your nose, and you can smell the smell from the taste spots. Or, find a similar black It is also very convenient for a spirit dog with a keen sense of smell like Feng."
Huo Xiaoxie cried out, "I almost forgot about Heifeng! Lin Wan, you reminded me that Heifeng stays in Jianchang. If Fourth Master Zhang brings it with him, wouldn't it be a big deal?" Cheap!"
Lin Wan smiled softly: "I'm afraid Heifeng has already helped Fourth Master Zhang a lot. If Heifeng is determined to find us with Zhang Fourth's instruction, there is really no good way to stop it."
Pan Zi stomped his feet and said, "Heifeng, Heifeng, why don't you think more about it! Add to the chaos! You're a big dog, why don't you join in the fun? The Five Elements Underground Palace is not a dog's den."
Shui Meier chuckled and said, "Pan Zi, you don't know. The Five Elements Underground Palace can really be used as a kennel. The Five Elements Underground Palace is also called the Five Beasts Palace. The green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, the basalt, and the yellow lin. The dragon belongs to Mu Tengdong. The phoenix belongs to the fire Xiangnan, the lin belongs to the earth, the tiger belongs to the gold bully west, and the tortoise belongs to the water squatting north. If these five kinds of beasts come, the five elements and the underground palace will be defenseless, but it is a pity that there are no such five beasts in the world."
Lin Wan said: "Sister Shui Meier said it very well. If the Five Elements Underground Palace is stolen, people are not as good as animals. No matter how tight the Five Elements Underground Palace is, there will already be small animals walking through it. If no one comes for tens of thousands of years Therefore, the Five Elements Underground Palace was eventually destroyed in the hands of weak animals. It’s just that in this world, animals will never do things like steal a tripod and fight for the world, but are driven by humans.”
Huo Xiaoxie laughed at herself: "Lin Wan, when you say that, I really think that people in the world are the ugliest, greediest and most perpetrators of crimes. The so-called justice and morality are all self-deception, no matter which one is for self-interest. I really think One day, when everyone dies together, the world will be clean, and there will be no need to fight and scramble."
Lin Wan smiled and said: "Huo Xiaoxie, you don't have to be too extreme, things always have two sides, there is a bad side, and there must be a good side."
Pan Zi hehe said: "Huo Xiaoxie, you still think about these big principles. You can live happily, have money, have girls, and not be bullied. When you are about to die, find a hole in the ground, close your eyes and kick your claws, as long as the bird If the egg is upside down, don't care about it."
Shui Meier smiled coquettishly, "Pan Zi, you are really rascal."
Pan Zi hurriedly said: "I was quick to talk, and I didn't take into account the feelings of all the beauties. Please forgive me."
Qiao Dazheng was idle and bored, squatting aside to play with his nostrils, and hummed casually: "Master Pan, you don't have to take my feelings into account, I sound very comfortable."
Qiao Er was also savoring the delicacy of cracking the roots of the mountain, picking his teeth with his iron claws, and also humming: "Yes, yes, don't worry about the two of us."
Pan Zi jumped up, slapped Qiao Da and Qiao Er, and scolded: "You two have hard ears, don't you! You little ones, how dare you call yourself a beauty! Do you want to disgust me to death?"
"You didn't call yourself a beauty, Master Pan was wronged!"
"I didn't hear clearly just now! Master Pan is wronged!"
The three of them chased and beat the place, which made this place a mess, which is quite happy.
Lin Wan said loudly: "Okay, okay, Pan Zi, stop making trouble, I'm going to open the exit now."
Pan Zi, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er were still torn, but they let go after hearing what Lin Wan said.
Everyone stood quietly, watching Lin Wan's every move.
Lin Wan gouged out a few pieces of cracked mountain roots, wrapped them in a transparent silk scarf, brought them to a stone pot, and squeezed them lightly with her hands. The milky white juice from the cracked roots penetrated the silk scarf and dripped into the green of the stone pot. green water.
The stone pot was as tall as half a person and as thick as an arm, so Huo Xiaoxie and the others could see it clearly. The juice dripped into the water, causing a ripple, which quickly mixed with the green water in the stone pot.
Lin Wan squeezed again, and there was a loud sound of sucking in the water of the stone pot, a vortex appeared on the entire water surface, the water level dropped by half a minute, and then calmness was slowly restored, and the water level also recovered.
Lin Wan whispered: "It's done." She raised her head and smiled at Huo Xiaoxie and the others, then went to the second stone pot.
The second stone pot was filled with black water, and the white juice from the cracked mountain root dripped into the water, which was very obvious. There was also a sound and a whirlpool, and it was done again.
Lin Wan performed actions one by one, and it didn't take long to walk through the eight stone pots.After finishing all this, Lin Wan quickly walked back to the team, nodded to everyone, and said, "It's ok, let's wait for a while!"
Gradually, only the sound of tree branches cracking could be heard from far and near, and finally the cracked roots of the entire hollow wall trembled, the ground buzzed and vibrated, and the sound of rattling rattled everywhere.
Lin Wan didn't move, she didn't seem worried, Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi and others didn't ask random questions at this time, only Shui Meier softly called out: "Sister Lin Wan, what's wrong?"
Lin Wan replied crisply: "The exit is about to open!"
While talking, I saw the cracked roots on the wall in front of everyone, layer by layer. Such a huge root system was as flexible as fingers, rattling non-stop, and a shiny hole was exposed.The hole was exposed, and the vibration soon stopped.
Lin Wanxi said: "Okay! Let's go."
Huo Xiaoxie laughed aloud, and said, "It's a wonderful sight. Let's go out and tell others that no one will believe that such a thick tree root can move."
Lin Wan said: "The circle we are in is part of the main vein of the root of the cracked mountain. The place we are entering now is inside the main vein."
Huo Xiaoxie asked in surprise, "Inside?"
Lin Wan said: "It's inside the root of the cracked mountain. All the roots here grow from one main vein. So the whole green vine palace is just a plant."
Huo Xiaoxie was speechless, the world is so big, there are so many wonders, the Mu family actually cultivated and used a huge underground plant as an anti-theft underground palace, this kind of ability, in the eyes of the worldly people, is close to gods and demons.
Lin Wan led everyone to walk towards the entrance of the cave, Huo Xiaoxie was still feeling emotional, when he suddenly heard the sound of wind coming from the entrance of the cave, it seemed that a gust of breath was about to gushe out from the entrance of the cave.
Huo Xiaoxie was about to remind her, but Lin Wan exclaimed, "No! The smell is wrong! Everyone move back, it's a miasma of emptiness."
It was rare for Lin Wan to speak in such a startled voice. Everyone knew that the situation was serious, and they all backed away.
Lin Wan shouted: "Everyone, keep tight to the dantian! Stick to the Qingming! Don't panic! Don't resist the coma, the more you resist, the deeper the poisoning will be! I can survive it, and I will wake everyone up!"
Shui Meier said sharply: "Lin Wan, didn't you say it's okay? How could this happen!"
Lin Wan said loudly: "I'm sorry everyone, I don't know why I failed! Don't talk about it, I'm to blame for this matter, everyone must listen to me! Otherwise, your life will be lost!"
Shui Meier said sharply: "Lin Wan, how can you tell us to believe you! What if you are harming us!"
Tian Wen grabbed Shui Meier's arm, pulled Shui Meier far away, and said loudly, "Listen to Lin Wan!"
Huo Xiaoxie also yelled loudly: "Shui Meier, how could Lin Wan harm us! She said she didn't know what happened."
Shui Mei'er raised her eyebrows, and was about to break free when she heard a strange whine from the entrance of the cave, and a strong light green gust of wind gushed out, so strong that the crowd could hardly stand still.
Lin Wan shouted with difficulty: "Everyone must do what I say! Stay clear and don't resist the coma! Believe me, I will wake everyone up."
Buzzing, buzzing, like thunder in the gust of wind, Lin Wan's voice was drowned out and could not be heard anymore.
Tian Wen was also tough, braved the wind and grabbed Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er one by one, pushed him to the ground vigorously, and roared, "Listen to Lin Wan..."
Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi had practiced the technique of guarding their minds. They lay on the ground, closed their eyes, and repeated silently: "The eyes observe the nose, the nose observes the mouth, the mouth observes the heart, and the mind observes freedom."
At the last moment when Huo Xiaoxie closed his eyes, Huo Xiaoxie could see that the green gust gushing from the hole had completely turned black.The black wind rolled over Huo Xiaoxie's body, Huo Xiaoxie only felt tingling pain all over his body, bursts of madness surged in his mind, and his thinking became confused. Professor, but I can restrain myself, I don't think it's too difficult.But what it means not to resist a coma is still a little unclear. After all, usually, people will be afraid of the situation of passing out of a coma, because no one knows whether they will not wake up after a coma, so they will definitely wake up forcibly and resist. .
But Huo Xiaoxie was convinced of what Lin Wan said, and secretly smirked a few times: "If you faint, you should just sleep." Now that he thought so, Huo Xiaoxie felt dizzy as soon as he let go of his mind. He was about to faint.Huo Xiaoxie screamed secretly, fainted, completely gave up resistance, and let herself faint.
Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhou and the hook soldiers got into the ground, and they couldn't help being surprised. The underground space here is actually an upside-down house.
Fourth Master Zhang asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou, what is the reason here? The house made of iron is upside down?"
Mr. Zhou was also puzzled, and said: "Flip up and down, the world is upside down, it's really hard to understand."
Fourth Master Zhang scolded in a low voice: "There are some strange things along the way. These five-element dog thieves are so happy. I don't know how to grow their brains."
Mr. Zhou looked at the roof that was completely open in front of him and led to the wide passage, and said, "Unexpected surprises are also the foundation of anti-theft techniques. Fourth Master Zhang, we should be careful."
Fourth Master Zhang nodded slightly, and ordered the hook soldiers to take the Japanese down and lead the black wind forward.
Fourth Master Zhang had just walked a few steps when he kicked a thin object under his feet and rolled it with a clanging sound. The sound was particularly crisp in this iron room.Fourth Master Zhang was slightly startled, he stood still and did not dare to move, until the sound of the kicked object stopped, he said in a deep voice, "What is it!"
Mr. Zhou had already stepped forward, picked up the little thing, took a look in his hand, and said, "It's a gold coin." He handed it to Fourth Master Zhang.
"Oh? Gold coin?" Fourth Master Zhang stretched out his hand, took the gold coin, looked at it through the light, and said, "This is a gold coin privately minted by Yinzhuang in Pingyao, Shanxi imitating foreigners' coins in the early years of the Republic of China. Few merchants in Shanxi are still using it, and it is only in Shanxi that it can be exchanged freely, and it is very rare in other areas."
Mr. Zhou also took a few glances, and said with a smile: "Sure enough! When we were in Wangjiabao, Shanxi, we met quite a few! Hehe, it seems that the person walking in front of us has something to do with Shanxi."
Fourth Master Zhang nodded and said: "We were separated from Sanjiaozi in Shanxi, and we were bullied by the Huo family dog thieves also in Shanxi, hehe, I think the person in front must be the Huo family thieves."
Fourth Master Zhang lowered his hand, put the gold coin by Heifeng's nose, and read: "Three chewers, take a sniff, is this your master?"
As soon as Heifeng smelled it, he immediately smelled Pan Zi's saliva, he immediately nodded, and was about to run forward with Zhang Siye.
Fourth Master Zhang patted Heifeng on the head, and said with a chuckle: "Three Chews, don't worry, let's follow slowly, don't disturb them now."
Without further ado, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou entered what Pan Zi called the "bell mouth", and waited until all the Japanese were counted before carefully leading them into the bell mouth.
Mr. Zhang Siye and Mr. Zhou entered the trumpet mouth. When they looked around, they couldn't laugh or cry. They saw a long iron corridor. There were thousands of iron roosters welded to death on the ground. There are more than a hundred steps in the corridor.These iron roosters are thigh-high and have different postures. Some cock their necks, some stand on one foot, some get angry and fight, some stand proudly resting, some look left and right, and so on. They are different, but they are different. vivid.These iron cocks are densely packed, and the gap is quite narrow, barely allowing a person to pass through.
Fourth Master Zhang scolded: "Iron cock? What do you mean!"
Mr. Zhou said: "The iron rooster means nothing can be pulled out. There are so many here, it must be some kind of weird mechanism."
Fourth Master Zhang said: "Even the walls and roof are covered with iron companies. There is no chance of hanging ropes to pass by. We can only explore and talk about it."
Lieutenant General Yi Tian and Professor Ning Shen also joined Fourth Master Zhang and the others at this time, looking at the iron roosters everywhere in front of them, discussing in low voices.
Fourth Master Zhang snorted, turned to Professor Ningshen and said, "Professor Ningshen, send three of your men into this iron rooster formation! Walk separately from the left, middle and right, and don't touch these iron cocks."
Professor Ning Shen was startled and said, "Mr. Zhang Si, you let our people in?"
"No?" Fourth Master Zhang snorted.
"It's not impossible, it's because our people are not up to the task."
"It's because it doesn't work, so I asked your people to go in and find out. You can figure it out!" Fourth Master Zhang said with a strong attitude.
Professor Ning Shen made several quick calculations in his mind. Just now more than ten people were cut to death in the Sea of Thousand Lined Swords. With the current strength of the Japanese, plus they still have ninety-one people, the number is quite a lot. How many more people will die? One can bear it, but Professor Ningshen is somewhat depressed being forced by Zhang Siye like this.But in the current situation, it is absolutely impossible not to rely on Fourth Master Zhang. The knowledge taught by Ning Shen has long been stretched. If Fourth Master Zhang and the others let go, all Japanese will become headless chickens, helpless.
Professor Ningshen was able to be the commander-in-chief of this treasure robbery not only because of his knowledge and status, but also because he is treacherous and cunning, has a sharp mouth and a thick skin, and knows how to choose. , a martial artist with blind self-respect, so Professor Ningshen made some calculations and decided to follow what Zhang Siye said, and send a few Japanese in to die.
Professor Ningshen grabbed General Yitian and talked a lot about it, and it was soft and hard. Finally, he brought out the name of Yirun Guangyi, threatening Yitian Zhongjiang not to cherish the lives of the Japanese, and delayed Mr. Yirun Even if all the Japanese are dead, as long as Fourth Master Zhang can bring Mr. Yi Run's ninja army to the destination, it will be a great honor, and all sacrifices are necessary.
As soon as General Yitian heard about Yirun Guangyi, he gave in, agreed to Professor Ningshen, and loudly ordered the three Japanese to come forward.
When the three Japanese heard that they were going to enter the iron cock camp, their legs were so frightened that they gave up, but the military orders were like mountains, and if they disobeyed Lieutenant General Yitian, they would definitely die.So the three Japanese cheered up and divided into three groups. Each of them held a military thorn and entered the formation step by step.
Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhou and a few capable hook soldiers waited and watched from the sidelines, carefully recording the steps, directions and other small behaviors of these people.
The three Japanese walked through the iron rooster for hundreds of steps in small steps, more or less quickly. Nothing happened, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, stopped, wiped the cold sweat from their faces, and continued to walk forward.But just like this, the Japanese on the far left accidentally bumped into an iron rooster with a military stab, and it made a cracking sound.
The three Japanese were so frightened that they stood still for a while, seeing that nothing happened, and then moved forward again.But as soon as the Japanese on the left took a step, and as soon as their footsteps fell, they heard the sound of continuous lasing sound, accompanied by the sound of gold and iron, and looked again, the Japanese on the left His whole body was covered with flat knives the length of his fingers.The Japanese gurgled a few times in his throat, but he fell to the ground with a thud, bleeding profusely, without making a sound.
Fourth Master Zhang's eyes were sharp, and he shouted softly: "Overbearing! The iron rooster's belly is full of blades!"
The faces of the other two Japanese were pale with fright, and they couldn't take half a step. Although they were far away, in this round of lasing, many blades that did not hit the Japanese on the left passed by them, scraping them. The skin is sore.
Mr. Zhou whispered in Fourth Master Zhang's ear: "I'm afraid the two alive will not be able to walk half a step."
Fourth Master Zhang pressed his wrist and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about them."
After a moment of silence, the two Japanese still stood dumbfounded. Zhang Siye and the others could bear it, but Lieutenant General Yitian couldn't help it, and yelled: "Go forward! Your progress!"
The Japanese on the right and middle roads swallowed their saliva. In the current situation, it was a dead end if they walked or not. They simply put their hearts on the sidelines, looked at each other, and walked forward almost at the same time.
As soon as the two people stepped down, they saw cold lights flickering on the top, bottom, left and right of the iron rooster. Before they could see what it was, puff puff puff puff, the random knife had been shot into the head, throat, and eyeballs, killing people. Formed a honeycomb.The two of them also screamed but couldn't get out, they swayed and fell to the ground, dying.
There was another sound of gold and iron clanging, more blades shot out randomly, hitting more iron cocks.All the iron roosters hit by the blades had a cold light in their eyes, as if the spring inside had been awakened.And if you look carefully, you will find that no matter what posture the iron rooster makes, one eye is looking in the same direction.
Mr. Zhou said in surprise: "No! More and more iron cocks are mobilized! This is to tempt you to go in and explore the way. If you meet any one, it will spread layer by layer!"
Fourth Master Zhang scolded: "A formation like a turtle's grandson! It's a profiteer! It's thanks to them that they figured it out!"
Mr. Zhou said: "If this is the case, we will no longer be able to send people to explore the way."
Fourth Master Zhang groaned, and instead of answering, he looked at Professor Ningshen.
Professor Ningshen said with a pale face, "Do you want to send someone in?"
Fourth Master Zhang snorted, "Give me your gun."
Professor Ning Shen touched his waist and said vigilantly, "What does Mr. Zhang Si want a gun for?"
Fourth Master Zhang said displeasedly: "Bring it!"
Professor Ning Shen hesitantly took out his own gun and handed it to Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang took a look, said "good gun", then turned the muzzle of the gun and pointed it at one of the iron roosters. The iron rooster fired a shot, hit the eyeball of the iron rooster, and knocked the chicken's head to one side.
After this shot, there was no response. Fourth Master Zhang laughed, and fired three more shots in a row, hitting three iron roosters in the eyes, and one bullet bounced off and hit another iron rooster, causing another It was a random shot.
Mr. Zhou read: "Master Zhang, do you want to kill them?"
Fourth Master Zhang laughed and said, "I don't believe these iron cocks can't pull out a hair!" Fourth Master Zhang threw the gun back to Professor Ningshen, and said loudly, "Professor Ningshen, how many guns do you have, how many guns do you have?" Fire bullets?"
Professor Ningshen was taken aback for a moment, and immediately calculated with Lieutenant General Yitian that there were more than 70 guns in the inventory, with about 100 rounds of bullets per capita.宁神教授报给张四爷听，张四爷看了看这片铁公鸡，骂道：“怎么才这么点？”
宁神教授说道：“负重太大，那个火球地宫里损失了不少，只剩这么多了！”
张四爷长喘一声，说道：“也罢！我们辛苦一趟。宁神教授，给我找二十杆好枪出来，我和周先生带着钩子兵开枪。”
宁神教授和依田中将一商议，只能如此，便派人下去，收了二十杆枪上来。
张四爷亲身示范，教钩子兵开枪，这些钩子兵学的飞快，都觉得太过简单，眨眼便都会了。
张四爷命日本人退出喇叭口等待，每次派五个钩子兵持枪上前，一起开火，专打鸡头眼睛部位。有些钩子兵虽是初学射击，但都是臂力雄厚，眼力精准，三点一线瞄准，扣动扳机，比使三爪钩容易了许多。只听得枪声阵阵，一轮又一轮的射击，铁公鸡阵内，四处弹开的子弹砸到外围，刀片如雨一样乱射，嗵嗵嗵嗵枪响，当当当当射中，叮叮叮叮刀片乱弹，几乎一刻不停。
钩子兵打一阵，就前行几步，另有眼力最佳的两个钩子兵在一旁点数，保证每一排的鸡头都被打烂，确保铁公鸡被废。如此往复，操作钩子兵持续前行。
依田中将、宁神教授虽说躲在钩子兵身后，见钩子兵能够整体的号令，枪法个个如神，不禁喉头发紧，心想若是张四爷翻脸，就凭这二十几个钩子兵，定能杀的他们片甲不留。
宁神教授心里更是复杂，他一直有一个秘密没有对依田中将说出，就是邀请张四爷他们参与这次行动，充分尊重张四爷的决定，乃是伊润广义密令给他的。经过这几番事件，张四爷他们大显威风，宁神教授才算是明白，伊润广义的决定无比英明。忍者军团必须躲在所有人身后，不能让张四爷他们发觉，这样才能做到万无一失，按伊润广义的话说，叫“夷人之兵破蛮夷之阵”，否则让张四爷他们察觉到日本人有隐藏的高手存在，定有出工不出力的麻烦。为了不露破绽，宁神教授没有告诉任何人自己接受过伊润广义的这项命令，而且很多地方都向张四爷他们示弱，装成一副狂傲自大但实际上草包的要命的样子。依田中将在这里，实际是一个最好的配角，伊润广义选择配合宁神教授的人选可谓相当正确，依田中将这混蛋处处逞强，得了张四爷他们的好处照样满脸的不服气，更使宁神教授的戏唱的天衣无缝，一直没让张四爷他们察觉到还有强悍残暴的忍者军团紧紧尾随在后。
张四爷站在铁公鸡阵中，当当当当当五枪，把最后的五只铁公鸡眼珠子打烂，五个钩子兵枪口从张四爷身后伸出，又是五枪齐发，打的鸡头一歪，没有任何刀片射出。
张四爷吹了吹枪管，笑道：“成了，这个一毛不拔的铁公鸡阵，算是能过了！”
周先生在钩子兵身后笑道：“修这个地宫的老贼，怕没有想到百多年后，能有这么厉害的武器吧。”周先生一挥手，钩子兵向前行去，风平浪静的到了对岸。
张四爷见此阵已破，故做谦虚道：“如果有数万大军带着红衣大炮来到这里，一路轰击，这个铁公鸡阵不过尔尔。”
张四爷、周先生还不知道，这铁公鸡阵潘子只是设法发动了三成，也就是基本运行之用，要是恢复了五成以上，他们这样前进，早就被切成碎片了。
周先生低声笑道：“能驱使数万大军，带着巨炮到这里的人，非王及帝了！”
张四爷低声道：“我们推测的不错，这里面的布置就是为有帝王之力的人准备的，嘿嘿！能得到天下，血染大江也是值得。”张四爷说道这里，突然神色黯然，颤声道：“纵有江山，我的妻儿也不会回来了！我宁用江山换回我那一面玲珑镜。”
张四爷说着，眼睛微微发红，九尺英雄，竟欲垂泪。
周先生一把握住张四爷的胳膊，低声道：“不要多想了，我们一定能赢的。”
张四爷哈哈大笑，抹去愁容，再现一脸豪气，喝道：“能赢！一定能赢！”
张四爷收拢了队伍，带着日本人全数通过，自觉破铁公鸡阵得意，一路仍与周先生相谈甚欢。张四爷说道：“这里若是金家修筑的防盗地宫，我看他们最怕的乃是火药驱动的铁器，我们一路强攻过去，子弹加炸药开路，应能势如破竹！”
张四爷这话说的早了点，他们过了铁公鸡阵，再过了一道门，眼前又是一个厚重的金属大殿，里面什么都没有，仅在墙壁上开了一个一人高的圆形大洞。张四爷他们上前一探，这分明就是一根钢管，与墙壁熔为一体，而四下各处，钢板的厚度根本难测，仿佛厚达丈许。这等厚度，任何火器击打上去，哪怕是现代的导弹，也最多留一个小坑而已。
张四爷一口把自己的高兴劲咽进肚子里，憋的肺气翻滚，差点吐出一口鲜血。他心里明白，这样的地方，强攻屁用没有，如同蚍蜉撼大树，隔靴挠痒，只有钻进钢管才是唯一的出路。
周先生见了此景，不好评价什么，闭口不谈张四爷刚才的妄语，说道：“张四爷，如果这样，让日本人先钻进去看看吧。”
张四爷喘了几口气，慢慢说道：“这钢管里面，根本就不会让你活着过去，除非，防盗的机关废了。”
事已至此，张四爷、周先生再无更好的选择，要么派人进去以命相搏，要么只有后退出去，另辟蹊径。可退又能退到哪里去？
宁神教授是个明白人，知道张四爷已被面前这个浑厚无匹的钢管难倒，进退不得。宁神教授打量了钢管内几眼，小心的问道：“张四先生？我们是不能过去了吗？”
张四爷沉声道：“此乃华山一条路，我们任何人进去，都必死无疑。”
宁神教授倒吸一口凉气，愣了一愣，突然换上一副阴森森的表情，说道：“要死多少人？”
张四爷眉头一皱，哼道：“宁神教授，你是什么意思？”
宁神教授低声道：“死人不怕，只要能过去，张四先生，大日本的皇军，都是不怕死的。只看你需不需要，有没有用！刚才那个铁公鸡阵，我们死了三个人，就很值得。”
张四爷心中骂道：“宁神你这个小鬼子，看着斯斯文文的，根本就是视人命为草芥！哼！你们日本人不怕死，那我就成全你！”
张四爷嘿嘿一笑，说道：“既然宁神教授你这么说了，那好，派你们的一人进去，一个不行，就再派一个，到我说停止为止。你可要想清楚了！”
宁神教授摸了摸下巴，盘算一二，偷瞄了一眼身后的几十个日本人，说道：“听张四先生的！”
宁神教授回身与依田中将商议，没说几句，这两个屠夫便听从了张四爷的意见。
依田中将和宁神教授巡视一番，从日本人中挑出了七八个老弱病残，作用不大的家伙，喝令他们站到钢管的面前。
张四爷狠狠皱眉，暗骂依田、宁神毫无人性。张四爷手上一挥，喝道：“进去一个！”
依田中将不须翻译，就明白张四爷的意思，一把抓过一个日本人，大叫道：“天皇万岁！你的前进！”
这日本人腿软筋酥，走不得路，依田中将一脚踹上去，如同催促牲口一样。
这日本人踉跄两步，来到钢管前，猛吸了一口气，大叫道：“天皇万岁！”疯了一样的冲了进去。
只听得脚步踏上钢管内侧，嗵嗵嗵的做响，冲进钢管里的日本人撕心裂肺的狂吼不止，眨眼就跑出了二十来步，尚看着并无异常。
张四爷、周先生等人都站在钢管边看向里面，见日本人能一口气跑出这么远，还没有出事，不免又是紧张又是激动。可就在此时，钢管里的日本人一个趔趄，突然摔倒在地，整个人居然顺着钢管内侧绕了半圈，好像那段钢管突然旋转起来似的。
那日本人奋力爬起，可是难以站稳，一站起来便又摔倒，张四爷心惊道：“此人死定了！”
果不其然，张四爷想到这里，就见钢管中四道微光一闪，那日本人啊的一声惨叫，四肢已被切飞，滚倒在地，四道微光再闪，人又被切成数段，卷上半空。钢管里本是一片银光，顿时变成一片血红。
张四爷惊道：“这是四门幽刀！”
身旁的周先生随即叫道：“真的是四门幽刀！四片利刀随柱体旋转，同时发出，本是切断贼人手臂的，这里竟是用来切人！”
张四爷眼睛都红了，恨恨道：“失传数百年的防盗术，残忍之法，竟用在这里！还这么巨大！”
宁神教授似乎对刚死了一个人没有太大反应，说道：“张四先生，还进去一人吗？”
张四爷厉声喝道：“再进一个！”
依田中将指着一个日本人，骂道：“天皇万岁！前进！”
那日本人看到刚才前者被切碎的一幕，本该吓的动弹不得，岂知这个日本人身子一停，如同打了鸡血一样，拍着胸脯大叫：“天皇万岁万万岁！”说着狂嚎一声，冲了进去。
这个日本人同样冲出没有多远，微光乱闪，被切成了碎块。
张四爷硬起心肠，再要日本人前进，依田中将也不犹豫，命令第三个日本人向前，这第三个日本人泪流满面，却不反抗，高喊着天皇万岁，冲进去被切成碎末。
第四个、第五个、第六个、第七个、第八个，又这样冲进去了五个，个个被切成了碎肉，这粗大的钢管里，鲜血横流，铺着厚厚一层尸块。
张四爷瞪着血红的眼睛大骂道：“再来！”
依田中将似乎见血发狂，五官都歪斜了，野兽一样冲进日本人的队伍中，一拳砸在一个人脸上，骂道：“前进！”被砸到的日本人怪叫一声，就往前冲。依田中将又打又踹，日本人一个接一个的，如同被催魂自杀的羔羊一样，一个个毫不犹豫的自投死路。
嗡嗡嗡嗡的切肉声音越来越大，惨叫声也是不绝于耳，钢管中已经有鲜血从入口处流出，用血流成河并不为过。
张四爷、周先生这种不怕血腥的汉子，见到这种飞蛾扑火一般的杀戮，也是为之侧目，日本人到底是因为什么信念支持，才有这种常人无法想象的不畏死精神？
眼看着已经跑进去了足足有十六七人，张四爷再也忍受不住，一脚把疯了一样要冲进去的一个日本人踹开一边，大叫道：“够了！”
依田中将目叱尽裂，恶狠狠的看着张四爷，几乎要将张四爷生吞活剥一样。
宁神教授脸上抽搐着，说道：“张四先生？可以了？”
张四爷骂道：“我受不了了！你们的人都疯了吗？都不怕死？打算全死在这里？”
宁神教授阴森森的说道：“日本士兵都不怕死，只要值得死！这是无上的光荣！”
依田中将哇哇大叫了几声日语，又要催促一人向前。
“依田将军！宁神教授！哇啦哇啦啊啊啊啊啊！”从钢管里突然传出一个日本人的叫声，宁神教授眼睛发光，冲到钢管边，冲里面叫喊：“活着吗？”
“我过来了！我过来了！依田将军！宁神教授！我过来了！这里安全了！天皇万岁！万岁！”这个日本人的声音显然是从钢管另外一头传过来的。
宁神教授大叫：“你怎么过去的！”
“踩着英雄的血肉过来的！呜呜呜呜！”钢管那头的日本人竟哇哇大哭了起来。
宁神教授大喜道：“很好！太好了！”宁神教授一转头，看向张四爷，叫道：“张四爷，有人跑过去了！是不是安全了！”
张四爷、周先生也正纳闷，他们刚刚分辨出一点四门幽刀的门道，这个四门幽刀就停止了？
周先生低声道：“钢管里过血太多，骨肉堆积如山，没准是被卡住了。”
张四爷应道：“确有这个可能！不然绝对不会有人这么畅快的跑过去。”
张四爷转头对宁神教授说道：“下面不用你们了，我亲自进去看看。”
周先生拉住张四爷，说道：“还是我这个老骨头去吧！”
一旁的钩子兵钩渐等人，也齐齐抢上一步，神色肃穆的叫道：“张四爷、周先生，我去！”
张四爷见钩子兵们好不惧死的神情，哈哈大笑，说道：“好！不愧是我的兄弟！但此事凶险，必须是听说过四门幽刀的人进去。”
钩渐跳出一步，抱拳道：“钩渐跟随张四爷、周先生十余年，四门幽刀的事情，属我最清楚！请让我去吧！”
张四爷看了钩渐几眼，点头道：“好！钩渐你去吧！稍有异动，就立即退回。”
“是！”钩渐朗声应了，身子一转，踏着血泊，飞快就钻入钢管内。
张四爷、周先生紧张的观望，只见钩渐到了积尸之地，身子闪了几闪，似乎在躲避什么东西，很快就又前行，慢慢远去。
片刻之后，钩渐在钢管另一头大叫道：“张四爷、周先生，我过来了！一切安全！四门幽刀全卡住了！这边是一个大厅，有几个楼梯通下地下！”
张四爷大喜道：“速回来奏报！”
钩渐大声称是，一溜烟的再度钻出，已经全身沾满了鲜血。
钩渐出了钢管，抱拳道：“恭喜张四爷！恭喜周先生！里面毫无动静！数十道薄如蝉翼，空隙无数的刀片，露出钢管有手臂长，全部卡死了！我尝试着扳了一块，刀片虽利，但过于轻薄，使大力从侧面应该可以掰断。”
张四爷、周先生纷纷长喘一声，张四爷说道：“钩渐！办的很好，退下吧。”
钩渐并不得意，十分谦卑的说道：“托张四爷、周先生的福！”说着退下一边，与其他钩子兵击掌相庆。
周先生低声道：“竟是这种结果！”
宁神教授早就等的不耐烦了，凑到张四爷、周先生面前，说道：“确实可以过去了吧，大日本皇军的鲜血一定不是白流的！”
张四爷默默看了宁神教授几眼，沉声道：“可以了！你们随我们来！”
宁神教授眉开眼笑，回身冲日本人大叫，日本人如同得了天大的喜讯，一个个相拥欢笑，连依田中将也恢复了神情，不住的点头，颇为自豪。
张四爷心中别扭，暗叹了一声：“这些小日本，刚刚还死了这么多人，转眼就和没事人一样了，到底他们对人命是怎么看的。搞不懂，搞不懂啊。”
略过不表张四爷他们钻过四门幽刀，说回到青蔓桡虚宫。
一片黑暗之中，火小邪猛地闻到一股子刺鼻的酸味，立即有了意识。
火小邪晃了晃脑袋，艰难的抿了抿嘴，睁开了眼睛。
眼前一片朦胧，慢慢才清晰了起来，首先映入眼帘的便是充满关切神情的林婉。
火小邪哼了几声，只觉得四肢酸麻，血脉不畅，但神智还算清醒，并无滞怠。
火小邪长长喘了几口气，哼哼唧唧的坐了起来，喃喃说道：“我昏了多久了。”
林婉按住火小邪，不让火小邪再动，轻声说道：“不到一个时辰，你现不要站起来，静坐一会，刚才的瘴气余毒猛烈，千万不要乱动。”
火小邪点了点头，安静的盘坐在地，说道：“他们呢？”
林婉说道：“应该都无大碍，我一个个的施救，就能醒过来。”
火小邪轻笑一声：“林婉，你第一个救的是我？”
林婉微微一笑，柔声应了，不也答话。
林婉转过脸去，不再看火小邪，起身挪开两步，将趴在地上的田问翻过来，在他脸颊上施针。
火小邪微微侧头，见潘子、乔大、乔二、水媚儿都趴在地上，眼睛紧闭，看着只是昏死过去，便略略放心，低声问道：“林婉，你应该先救田问的，为什么要先救我？”
林婉笑了笑，说道：“先救谁后救谁，这对你而言很重要吗？”
火小邪急忙说道：“不是不是，我的意思是说，我身体好，可以先救别人……哎！”火小邪说到这里，觉得越说越多破绽，前后矛盾，论身体好，田问才是第一。火小邪的本意其实是说林婉和田问青梅竹马一般，本应先救她最喜欢的人，可这话怎么能说得出口。
火小邪倍觉尴尬，自己明白刚才一番问，其实又隐约袒露出自己喜欢林婉的心迹，所以干脆哎了一声，不敢再乱说。
林婉婉约的笑了笑，不再回答，用心给田问施针片刻，手中拿出一粒小丸，在田问鼻下晃了晃。田问闷哼一声，身子一动，慢慢睁开了眼睛，缓缓坐起，低声道：“谢了。”
林婉叮嘱田问不要乱动，又去给潘子施针。
火小邪看着田问，想起自己毕竟是被林婉第一个救醒的，还是有点做贼心虚，不与田问对视。
田问如同没有看到火小邪一样，只是低念了句：“没事就好。”说着眼睛一闭，十分悠长的调息起来。
一会功夫，只听潘子的碎嘴含糊不清的嘀咕：“个奶奶的，妈的个瓜的，昏死，昏死小爷我了，什么臭气，鬼气，妖气，娘的。哦，林婉，谢了哦，我就知道一睁眼，肯定看到你在救我醒过来。哦，火小邪、田问已经醒了啊，咳咳咳，我没事了没事了，也不是，我全身没劲，哎呀。”
林婉也不与潘子贫嘴，扶起潘子坐直，再去救醒乔大、乔二。
火小邪侧头一看水媚儿还孤零零的趴在一边，看样子林婉最后才会救醒水媚儿了，这两人女人一路上似乎有点不对付，刚才瘴气涌出之时，水媚儿好像怀疑林婉搞鬼，很是信不过她。火小邪暗叹一声：“水媚儿啊，你有时候还真象你姐姐水妖儿。”
乔大、乔二呼哧呼哧叫唤着的醒来，不忘首先给火小邪、潘子道了声好，哈哈傻笑一番，看着精神头比火小邪他们还好。这两个混人除了做贼时心思细密以外，其他时候心眼和水桶一般粗，估计他们一闻到瘴气，连脑子都没动，直接呼呼大睡了。
等这些人都坐起来了，林婉才走到水媚儿身旁。林婉将水媚儿翻过来，看着水媚儿的面孔，微咬嘴唇，却迟迟不肯出手施针。
火小邪心里一紧，难道林婉不打算救醒水媚儿？想到此，火小邪立即暗骂自己千遍，怎么会想这些不好的事情，赶忙将这般念头挥去。可是情不自禁，火小邪目光始终离不开林婉和水媚儿，等待林婉下一步的举动。
林婉看了水媚儿面孔片刻，居然站起身来，向一旁走去。
火
