Chapter 9 Chapter Nine Autumn Bugs

It's not surprising that Huo Xiaoxie met them here. He didn't see Yan Chong and Nao Xiaobao present, so it was expected. He just felt that they were sitting quietly facing the cliff entrance. What's so weird about it that they can't do it? The middle-aged monk said softly: "Huo Xiaoxie benefactor, this way please." Huo Xiaoxie nodded, and followed the monk to the Buddhist hall behind A, D, and B. The doors and windows of the Buddhist hall are still closed, but there is a long table at the entrance, on which are placed ten kinds of things, including porcelain vases, straw sandals, knives, mats, fruits, etc. It's like opening a grocery store.

The middle-aged monk stood by the table, clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Huo Xiaoxie, and said, "Huo Xiaoxie benefactor, this is the gate for trapping robbers, please listen to me slowly." Huo Xiaoxie hurriedly returned the gift and said, "Master, please tell me." The middle-aged monk said: "The pass of accepting robbers is the last pass of the three gates of the Fire Gate. All benefactors who come here need to break a formation called the Autumn Cry of Insects." Huo Xiaoxie blinked fiercely. He seemed to have heard of this autumn insect cry technique before, but Huo Xiaoxie didn't dare to interrupt, and listened intently to the monk and continued: "The autumn insect cry technique is a method of preventing theft. Donor, please look at these caves on the cliff. In each cave, there is a formation. Each formation is the same. You can choose one to enter and take out a golden Buddha placed inside. As long as you can not disturb the mechanism, you can win .”

Huo Xiaoxie thought, "Sounds very simple." The monk continued: "In each cave, there are several autumn insects hidden in secret places. These insects are bred by the wooden family with a special method. If the vibrating sound or outsiders invade the territory, the chirping will not stop until the outsiders exit. If the donor enters the cave, if it causes insects to chirp, it means failure. Please exit the cave quickly and make another plan. If the insects chirp, you still have to force it If you take the Golden Buddha, it will be considered a violation of the rules, and you will be eliminated from the gate of the thief, and there will be no chance. The time limit for closing the gate of the thief is at noon tomorrow, and the number of attempts is unlimited! The things on this table can be used at will to withdraw gold. Buddha, there is no limit to the amount you can use, if it is missing, you can ask me to make up for it. Huo Xiaoxie benefactor, do you understand me?"

Huo Xiaoxie nodded and replied, "Understood!" The monk said: "Lord Huo, in this open space, you can walk and talk freely. If you are tired, you can go to the pergola on the side to rest. If you are hungry, you can ask me to deliver food. But you can't leave this open space. Those who leave this place without permission, It is also counted as elimination. The benefactor must remember." Huo Xiaoxie thought to himself: "Just let me walk and talk. I'm going to sit like Jia Ding Yi, Zheng Zedao, and Monk Ku Deng without moving." Huo Xiaoxie said: "Master, don't worry, I've remembered everything! But... what, Master, I haven't eaten since last night, I'm hungry and thirsty, can you give me something to fill my stomach?" ...I'm sorry, I'm so hungry that I don't eat two or three meals, and I feel panicked..."

The monk smiled and said, "Huo Xiaoxie benefactor, please wait a moment." The monk left quickly, and Huo Xiaoxie glanced at Jia Dingyi, Zheng Zedao, and Ku Deng monk sitting in the field, thinking: "What are these three people thinking? Can't they try infinitely? Just sit here in a daze What is the use?" Huo Xiaoxie looked at a cave, his heart itching unbearably, what is this Autumn Insect Crying Technique?Fall bug?Is it more powerful than the thousand-year-old toad spirit? Huo Xiaoxie came down from the Buddhist hall, walked towards a cave, and walked past Zheng Zedao. Zheng Zedao raised his head and smiled at Huo Xiaoxie, but still didn't speak.Huo Xiaoxie was suspicious: "When did Zheng Zedao become so taciturn? Strange!"

A, Dingyi, wearing black veils fluttering slowly, seemed to raise their heads slightly to look at Huo Xiaoxie, but Huo Xiaoxie didn't dare to look at him, thinking that this old monster would also be stumped? Monk Ku Deng closed his eyes, murmured words, his ass seemed to be rooted, and he was as steady as a golden bell.Huo Xiaoxie secretly said: "Monk Kudeng, this is a temple, but it's your Fengshui place. You and the monks here are friends, why wait here." Huo Xiaoxie didn't look at the three of them any more, walked straight to a hole, and looked inside.This cave was excavated on the mountain, the ground and walls are integrated, flat and smooth, without water chestnuts. I don't know how much work it took to make this cave into such a scene.

Huo Xiaoxie touched the wall in the cave, walked inward, and after a few steps, the inside suddenly opened up, revealing a huge semi-circular stone cave five feet square, at the end of the cave, there was a Buddhist niche, and beside it was a Several long-burning lamps illuminate the cave very brightly.Inside the altar is a palm-sized small golden Buddha, which shines brightly under the light and looks full of treasure. Huo Xiaoxie looked at the four walls and the ceiling of the cave, except for many murals of Buddha, he didn't see anything for defense.Huo Xiaoxie saw that the Golden Buddha was only five feet away, and he could get it by running more than ten steps. He was overjoyed and thought to himself: "I think I am a autumn insect the size of a cow crawling and biting people. Who knew it was so quiet! I'll give it a try!"

Huo Xiaoxie thought to himself, took a step forward, and stepped into the stone room.Just as one of Huo Xiaoxie's feet touched the ground, he heard a buzzing sound in his ears, and then there was an extremely sharp insect cry. This sound vibrated in the stone room, almost piercing one's eardrums.Huo Xiaoxie cursed inwardly: "Damn it! You're called a soul!" Huo Xiaoxie covered her ears and was about to exit the hole, but the sound of insects went straight into her head, as if two hacksaws were rubbing against each other fiercely in her head, and her uncomfortable head would split open.Huo Xiaoxie hugged her head, her feet were weak, she barely retreated this step, and she fell to the ground with her buttocks stuck.The sound of insects roared into his head like a tsunami. Huo Xiaoxie's head was so painful that it was about to explode.Huo Xiaoxie knew how powerful it was, so he rolled backwards, and desperately rolled out of the cave. When he reached the entrance of the cave, the sound of insects stopped abruptly, and the stone room was completely silent again. The sound of insects killing souls.

Huo Xiaoxie rolled out of the cave, staggering and trying to stand up, but the devil-like sound of insects echoed in his head, he couldn't stand on one foot, and fell to the ground with a thud.Huo Xiaoxie felt a numbness in his nose, stretched out his hand to touch it, and two lines of nosebleeds had flowed out. Huo Xiaoxie pinched her nose and sat on the ground. Her body was already limp and numb, and it was more strenuous than running a ten-mile mountain road.Huo Xiaoxie panted for a long time before the sound of insects in his head dissipated. Huo Xiaoxie cursed secretly: "It's amazing! If you didn't get out of the cave in time, you might be shocked to death in the cave by the sound of insects! I know why Jia, Dingyi and Zheng Zedao are sitting still! They I was thinking of a way not to disturb the insects! Damn, damn, my heart is about to stop..." Huo Xiaoxie groaned and fell back to the ground, laying on all fours in the air until completely Calm down.

"Brother Huo, how does the autumn insect cry technique taste?" A voice came from Huo Xiaoxie's ear. Huo Xiaoxie slowly got up from the ground, turned around and saw Zheng Zedao was still sitting on the ground, looking at him with a smile on his face. Zheng Zedao said: "At first I wanted to ask you to discuss it, but I thought I'd let Huo Xiandi try it out for himself. Once we have experience, we can discuss it later." Huo Xiaoxie said: "Brother Zheng, I almost couldn't get out, the insects inside can kill people!" Zheng Zedao said: "Brother Huo Xian, if you are all right, let's go to the next side to have a chat. Just now the monk from Nahuo Temple has brought you food. He saw you lying on the ground and didn't call you, so he put the food on the table. It's in the arbor."

Huo Xiaoxie let out a groan, pulled himself together, got up from the ground, still felt that the blood in his whole body was not smooth, dizzy, and staggered and struggled to walk towards the arbor. Zheng Zedao smiled slightly, stood up, patted the hem of his sleeves and clothes, straightened his appearance, still had the air of a rich and noble son, and followed Huo Xiaoxie towards the arbor in a leisurely manner. Huo Xiaoxie walked into the shed, and saw a few steamed buns, two dishes of side dishes and a bowl of porridge on a wooden table. His whole body was soft from the shock of the autumn insect call just now, and now his stomach was even more hungry. , sitting on a chair beside him, burying his head and eating. Zheng Zedao came over and sat beside Huo Xiaoxie, took out a folding fan from nowhere, opened it gently, and fanned it leisurely and slowly, without speaking, just watching Huo Xiaoxie wolfing down beside him. Huo Xiaoxie quickly ate two steamed buns and drank the gruel, and felt her whole body strengthened. She looked up at Zheng Zedao and said, "Brother Zheng, have you ever been in a cave?" Zheng Zedao looked at Jia Ding Yi and Monk Ku Deng who were sitting not far away, and said in a low voice, "Brother Huo, eat slowly, and I will tell you." Huo Xiaoxie agreed and continued to eat slowly. Zheng Zedao closed the paper fan and said, "I've never heard of this autumn insect singing technique, and this is the first time I've seen it. A few small insects' chirping sounds are so powerful that it's breathtaking. Closing the ears doesn’t work! Not to mention approaching the golden Buddha, the insects can be heard as soon as you step into the stone chamber. It’s really difficult! I’ve tried it three times, and I’ve been shaken out every time. The Kudeng monk also went in Tried three times and returned without success." Huo Xiaoxie said: "I heard from the monk who brought me in that this is the wooden house's anti-theft technique. Isn't this the Huo family's recruitment of disciples? Why did they put up a wooden school's anti-theft method?" Zheng Zedao said: "The five elements produce each other, restrain each other, multiply each other, insult each other, control each other, and overcome each other. Presumably this is the last hurdle, and it is the way to consider the use of our five elements." Huo Xiaoxie took a bite of the steamed bun and said, "I know that mutual generation and mutual restraint, is it because Huo restrains wood?" Zheng Zedao said with a smile: "No, metal overcomes wood, wood produces fire, fire produces earth, earth produces metal, metal produces water, and water produces wood." Huo Xiaoxie chewed the steamed buns slowly, and said: "Gold overcomes wood, wood makes fire... this wood makes fire, and the autumn insect cry technique is also the wood anti-theft technique, isn't it a bit far-fetched." Zheng Zedao said: "Otherwise, Brother Huo, the dialectical production and restraint of the five elements is more than that. Wood does produce fire, but there are still things that multiply and insult each other. Therefore, gold can produce water, and water can produce more metal; water can produce wood, and wood can produce fire." Too much water shrinks; wood can make fire, fire more than wood burns; fire can make earth, earth more than fire dark; earth can make gold, metal more than earth is weak. Among them, wood can make fire, fire more than wood burns, which is the mutual insult of fire and wood .To put it more simply, it’s anti-gram.” Huo Xiaoxie scratched his head, and probably understood Huoduomufen, but he still didn't know what multiplication and insult were. Huo Xiaoxie really couldn't understand it, the five elements are so broad and profound that they can't be comprehended in a day.Mutual generation and mutual restraint are easy to understand. It is indeed a bit confusing to multiply and insult each other and restrain and win. Here is a brief talk about what it means to multiply and insult each other. If one of the five elements is too strong, it can cause the restrained "five elements" to be restrained too much, and make the restrained "one element" too weak, thus causing abnormal restraint among the five elements.For example: if the wood is too strong, it will restrain the earth too much, resulting in a deficiency of the earth, which is called "wood multiplying the earth".On the other hand, because a certain "one line" of the five elements is itself weak, the relative restraint of its "self" and "one line" appears to be relatively stronger, and the itself is weaker.For example: the wood is not too strong, and its ability to restrain the earth is still within the normal range.However, due to the lack of soil itself, the power of wood to overcome soil is relatively enhanced, making the soil even more insufficient, which is called "earth virtual wood vehicle". The insult of mutual insult refers to "anti-aggression".The mutual insult in the five elements refers to the counter-aggression against the original "one-line" of the five elements because one of the five elements is too strong, so anti-aggression is also called anti-aggression.For example: wood is restrained by gold, but when wood is particularly strong, not only is it not restrained by gold, but it retaliates against gold (that is, counter-restraint), which is called "wood insults gold", or an aspect of rebellion .On the other hand, it can also be said that metal itself is very weak, not only unable to restrain wood, but also being insulted by wood, which is called "gold void and wood insult". Both multiplication and mutual insult are abnormal phenomena of mutual restraint. There are differences and connections between the two. The main difference between multiplication and mutual insult is: first, excessive restraint occurs according to the order of the five elements. Thus forming the anomaly of the restraint relationship between the five elements; the latter is the restraint phenomenon in the opposite direction to the order of the five elements restraint, thus forming the anomaly of the restraint relationship between the five elements.The connection between the two is that when they are multiplied, they can also be insulted at the same time; when they are insulted, they can also be multiplied at the same time.For example: when the wood is too strong, it can take advantage of the earth and insult the metal; when the metal is weak, it can be opposed by the wood and be attacked by the fire. Huo Xiaoxie said ashamedly: "Brother Zheng, I can only roughly understand what Huoduomuyan means, but I don't understand the rest. You speak too fast, and I feel a little dizzy." Zheng Zedao said: "Hehe, Brother Huo Xian has never been in touch with the Five Elements Theory before, so he might be a little confused when he hears it, but it doesn't matter, as if I think too much, instead I will think back and forth, which will only increase trouble. Huo Xian Brother, just now you also felt the power of the Autumn Insect Crying Technique, do you have any ideas for cracking it?" Huo Xiaoxie thought to himself: "This Zheng Zedao, he can't communicate with A, Dingyi, Kudeng and Monk, and he's playing tricks on me. He thinks I'm so easy to bully?" Seeing Huo Xiaoxie bowed his head and said nothing, Zheng Zedao chuckled and said, "Brother Huo, the key for us right now is to be able to pass this level. One person can't think of a way, but two people can't use their brains, don't you think?" Huo Xiaoxie pondered for a while, thinking that what Zheng Zedao said was still reasonable, this man took his own vitals, and he couldn't tell what was wrong with him. Huo Xiaoxie said: "When I was in Fengtian, I caught long beetles. These hard beetle insects are unwilling to come out after they get into the tree hole. I don't know anything about the five elements, but I know that using smoke can kill these beetles. The bugs are forced out." Zheng Zedao said with a smile: "Brother Huo Xian said to use smoke to drive out the autumn insects in the cave?" Huo Xiaoxie said: "That's probably what it means. On the table in front of the Buddhist hall over there, there are mats and other inflammable things? They won't let us lay them aside to sleep, the monk said that we can take them at will. Use it, if it’s not enough, ask him for it.” Huo Xiaoxie thought, it would be great if Brother Yan Chong was there, with his ability to breathe out smoke, it’s not easy to blow smoke into the cave. When Huo Xiaoxie said this, he saw A, Ding and Yi who had sat down in the open space turned over, walked straight to the table, rolled the mat into his arms, and walked towards a hole. Huo Xiaoxie stood up abruptly, cursing in a low voice, "He eavesdropped!" Zheng Zedao pulled Huo Xiaoxie's clothes and said, "It's okay! It's okay! Let him go. If he succeeds, we can still get a bargain. If someone is willing to show off, isn't that good?" A, Dingyi sneered, ignored Zheng Zedao's sarcasm, and walked into a hole. After a while, thick smoke gushed out from the hole. Apparently, A, Dingyi had set the mat on fire. Both Huo Xiaoxie and Zheng Zedao stood up, staring at the entrance of the cave without blinking. The thick smoke rose for a while, and the whole cliff screamed suddenly, and the extremely strong insects rang out from the cave where Jia, Ding and Yi entered, and the thick smoke billowed, judging by the speed at which the smoke billowed, it seemed that it was forced out of the cave by the strong wind . Huo Xiaoxie covered her ears. Although the sound was not as strong as in the cave, it still made her feel sick. In the thick smoke, a figure quickly retreated, rolled over on the ground, took a few steps back, sat cross-legged on the ground, and kept to the law, not daring to move again, but the sound of insects in the cave did not stop, and there was a tendency to intensify. Not only the entrance of the cave where A, Ding and B entered, it seemed that all the autumn insects in the cave screamed, and all the caves screamed loudly in unison, and the sound was like tearing apart the mountain beams. The more Huo Xiaoxie heard it, the more disgusted she became. She ran two quick steps and got out of the arbor. She took a big bite and spit out half of what she just ate, but she still had a splitting headache. She couldn't help groaning and sat on the ground. Zheng Zedao walked quickly to Huo Xiaoxie's side, with cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "No! If this continues! We will all faint here!" Huo Xiaoxie couldn't speak at all, clutching his legs tightly, sweating profusely, trying his best to endure this life-threatening cry. Zheng Zedao gritted his teeth and couldn't stand anymore, so he also sat down and shouted, "Brother Huo, keep the energy in your dantian! Shut up and watch your heart!" Kudeng Monk Buddha's trumpet was also louder, and Amitabha Amitabha was chanting endlessly. It was a nightmarish sound of insects, and everyone forcibly endured it until no more smoke was blown out of the hole, and the sound of insects gradually stopped, and then the strong wind blowing from the hole also slowly stopped. Huo Xiaoxie lay limp on the ground, with blood flowing from his nose, the time just now seemed like several years had passed. Zheng Zedao panted again and again, and said, "That's amazing! Brother Huo Xian, how are you?" Huo Xiaoxie was out of breath, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I can hold on, even if I do it again, I can do it..." Zheng Zedao moved his body, leaned close to Huo Xiaoxie's ear, and said, "Brother Huo, after this ordeal, I found a problem." Huo Xiaoxie wiped the blood under his nose and said, "What, what's the problem?" Zheng Zedao said: "In this Nahuo Temple, the doors and windows are closed, and there is no one there. There is only one monk who greets us. It is impossible for this monk not to know about the fierce insects just now. How did the monk escape? It is this Nahuo Temple." Does the monk have a way to deal with the insects? Or is there a place to hide from the insects?" Huo Xiaoxie looked bewildered, but did not follow Zheng Zedao's words, and said, "Why, why is the smoke forced out?" Zheng Zedao said: "If the Autumn Insect Crying Technique can be cracked so easily, it won't be the last level. On this cliff, apart from the few caves in front of us, you can see that there are countless caves above, which must be smoke pots." After entering, those autumn insects felt uncomfortable, and as soon as they moved their bodies, they touched the mechanism, causing the outside mountain wind to pour into the stone chamber, and the wind poured into each stone chamber, so it disturbed all the autumn insects to scream." Huo Xiaoxie let out a long gasp: "Grandma, just now I wanted to say throwing a torch in to burn the worms out, it seems that this is not the way at all! If you do it one or two times, I'm afraid we will all go crazy!" Zheng Zedao snorted: "Brother Huo Xian, the many items on the table are definitely not for us to borrow external force. There are so many of us gathered here, otherwise as long as one method succeeds, everyone will succeed." After Huo Xiaoxie went through all this tossing, the matter about the jade fetal beads clearly emerged in his mind. Yan Jingtian and the others made it clear that they brought the jade fetal beads to Wangjiabao to crack the autumn insect cry technique!The Huo family went all the way to Fengtian City to get the jade beads, I am afraid that the jade beads are the only way to break the formation! In the current situation, I am afraid that the jade fetal beads are here, or even one of the many items in front of the Buddhist hall! Huo Xiaoxie was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Among these items, there must be one that can suppress the insects! Then we have to rely on the ability that everyone has to enter the cave, and there is no chance at all." Zheng Zedao looked closely at Huo Xiaoxie and said, "Brother Huo Xian, do you know anything about the Autumn Crying of Insects?" Huo Xiaoxie didn't answer, just bowed his head in silence. Seeing that Huo Xiaoxie was silent, Zheng Zedao asked softly, "Brother Huo, if you think of something, you might as well just say it." Huo Xiaoxie raised her head and looked at Zheng Zedao who was full of sincerity. She really didn't know whether she should tell him about the jade fetal beads now. Huo Xiaoxie curled her lips and said softly: "I... used to..." "Huo Xiaoxie!" A familiar voice came from the Buddhist hall. Huo Xiaoxie looked up, and saw Yan Chong swaggeringly following the monk of Nahuo Temple with a cigarette in his mouth, and walked into the open space. Say hello to yourself. Huo Xiaoxie wanted to talk nonsense to get rid of Zheng Zedao, but the arrival of the smoke worm just saved Huo Xiaoxie from the siege.Huo Xiaoxie hurriedly responded to Yan Chong: "Brother Yan Chong!" Huo Xiaoxie was about to stand up, but his legs were weak and his muscles were numb, so he couldn't get up smoothly. Yan Chong saw Jia Ding Yi, Ku Deng Monk sitting on the open space, and Hu Xiaoxie and Zheng Zedao sitting on the ground beside the shed. She also felt very strange, frowned slightly, and did not immediately go forward to chat with Huo Xiaoxie, but It was a simple wave of his hand, which was regarded as recognition, and Huo Xiaoxie was not allowed to get up and come over. The monk of Nahuo Temple took the smoke worm to the table and explained the smoke worm. Seeing the smoke worms coming, Huo Xiaoxie felt a lot more at ease, but Zheng Zedao, who was next to him, felt a little uncomfortable, snorted softly, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and stopped asking Huo Xiaoxie what he knew. Yan Chong listened to the monk from Nahuo Temple explain the rules of Na Pirate Pass and Autumn Insect Crying Technique, and then walked towards Huo Xiaoxie with a cigarette in his mouth. Before Huo Xiaoxie could speak, Zheng Zedao opened his eyes and smiled at Yan Chong: "Brother Yan Chong, you are here too." Yan Chong responded lukewarmly: "Oh! Xiaobu is Brother Zheng Zedao, and the top three passed the test again! Congratulations!" Zheng Zedao said: "Brother Yanchong, why don't we get together and have a chat? Huo Xiaoxie and I knew each other before we entered the Qingyun Inn, Brother Huoxian, don't you think so?" Huo Xiaoxie cursed secretly: "This Zheng Zedao is preconceived again." But Zheng Zedao was right, Huo Xiaoxie could only nod his head. Yan Chong snorted, walked up to Huo Xiaoxie and Zheng Zedao with an indifferent expression, sat down, patted Huo Xiaoxie on the shoulder, and asked, "Huo Xiaoxie, is there blood on your face? With whom?" Got into a fight?" The blood on Huo Xiaoxie's face was the nosebleed caused by Qiuri's Crying of Insects, it was not wiped clean, and the blood was still hanging on the side of his face.Huo Xiaoxie waved his hands repeatedly, and said: "No, no, just now..." Huo Xiaoxie hesitated to speak, and quickly glanced at Zheng Zedao. Zheng Zedao pretended not to notice, doing nothing. Yan Chong said: "Huo Xiaoxie, just say what you have to say." Huo Xiaoxie took her into the Nahuo Temple, and was shocked by the sound when he explored the cave. He discussed the countermeasures with Zheng Zedao. A, Ding and Yi smoked the cave, and the smoke was not only forced out, but also caused all the autumn insects in the cave to sing together. , How powerful the tweeting sound is, I said it completely. Zheng Zedao listened and did not interrupt. After listening to Huo Xiaoxie's narration, Yan Chong took a few puffs of cigarettes, stood up, put his hands in his trouser pockets, walked a few steps, smiled with his mouth crooked, and then said: "Damn, let's play some monsters!" The matter of the moth is still a bit difficult. According to you, it was so loud just now, and it didn’t take long before it stopped. I walked in all the way, and I didn’t seem to hear it at all?” Only then did Zheng Zedao say: "Brother Yanchong, the architecture of this Nahuo Temple is weird. I'm afraid no matter how loud the sound of insects is, it won't be able to reach the outside of this open space." Tobacco was noncommittal, bent down and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, put it in the palm of his hand, took off the cigarette butt from his mouth, burned it, blew it, and said: "Damn it, the mud in this open space There is a lot of magnetic powder in it." Both Zheng Zedao and Huo Xiaoxie were taken aback for a moment, and Huo Xiaoxie asked, "Magnetic powder?" Yan Chong slapped the dirt off his hands, sat down next to Huo Xiaoxie again, turned his wrist, looked at a small disk on the watch strap, looked up at the cliff, and said: "This mountain, what the hell is it? A magnetic mountain, ever since I entered this mountain, the compass has been shaking wildly, and the orientation is very strange, it really is here that it is causing trouble." Both Zheng Zedao and Huo Xiaoxie stared at the huge watch on Yan Chong's wrist. Zheng Zedao said, "Brother Yan Chong, this watch has a compass? It's such a delicate thing." Yan Chong lowered his wrist and said, "I got the old Russian stuff in Vladivostok." Zheng Zedao said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Li Yanzhuo, the leader of the four major thieves in the Northeast, is specifically against Maozi. I admire him! Hehe, brother Yanzhuo, this is a magnetic mountain, and it has something to do with cracking the autumn insect call technique." ?" Smoker was smoking, his mouth was crooked, and he blurted out a swear word smoothly: "I don't know what kind of fucking relationship is there?" Yan Chong's speech was far less refined than Zheng Zedao's, and Zheng Zedao couldn't speak for a while with this foul language. On the contrary, Huo Xiaoxie sounded very comfortable. He was in the market place of Fengtian, and he was used to hearing rough words. He was also a good hand at pointing at others' noses and scolding their mothers. Since he came to Qingyun Inn, he had been cautious, He dared to let go of his courage to open his mouth and curse, he had been holding back for a long time, but when he heard Yan Chong swearing, he was very kind and laughed out loud. Yan Chong glanced at Huo Xiaoxie triumphantly, patted Huo Xiaoxie on the shoulder, and said, "Huo Xiaoxie, let's chat next to each other. Can you get up?" Huo Xiaoxie smiled just now, calmed down his breath, and said: "Yes!" Then he turned over and got up. The smoke insect pulled Huo Xiaoxie, and Huo Xiaoxie stood firm. The two ignored Zheng Zedao and walked towards a corner of the Buddhist hall. Zheng Zedao looked ashen, looking at the backs of Yan Chong and Huo Xiaoxie, there were layers of murderous aura in his eyes, but it was fleeting. Yanchong dragged Huo Xiaoxie to a corner of the Buddhist hall, sat down on the steps, Huo Xiaoxie sat down beside him, opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Yanchong, I thought you couldn't be found! Sichalukou shop The shopkeeper told you and Nao Xiaobao that the route was wrong." Yan Chong snorted, "The man in gray was right and the signal was wrong, I recognized it." Huo Xiaoxie said: "Ah? Then why didn't you say it? I checked the code with them later and found that they got the wrong answer, so they told me the correct route, saying that this is also a pass." Yan Chong smiled, and said indifferently: "I think the shopkeeper and the two gray-clothed men have brain problems. It's really boring to do a pass for such a stupid thing! Let's play, I'm here to play , I’m too lazy to point them out, just to see what they can get something new. The result is not interesting, it’s just an array of lanterns with four images and eight doors. touched it." Huo Xiaoxie said: "Brother Yanchong, you are really good. It's just that Xiaobao went the wrong way, and I don't know when he will come." Yan Chong said: "Don't worry about Xiaobao, I dare say he will be here before dark." Zheng Zedao didn't know why at this time, he suddenly stood up, smiled lightly at Yan Chong and Nao Xiaobao, walked into the pergola, sat at the table, poured a glass of water, and drank slowly. Seeing Zheng Zedao slowly drinking water, Yan Chong's face suddenly changed, and he looked a little dignified. It wasn't the loose expression that he didn't care about when the sky fell. He took two puffs of cigarettes and then kept silent. Huo Xiaoxie saw that Yan Chong's expression suddenly changed from before, so he didn't dare to ask Yan Chong what was going on. Yan Chong smoked a few more puffs before saying, "That Zheng Zedao, you have to be careful." Huo Xiaoxie said with some embarrassment: "Ah, brother Yan Chong, he is a bit pious and likes to take advantage." Yan Chong said: "It's not to tell you to be careful, but you must not annoy him. Don't look at him speaking and doing things, he seems very polite. If you really want to do it, let alone you, you will kill me." In the blink of an eye." Huo Xiaoxie's heart tightened, what did Yan Chong mean? Huo Xiaoxie said: "Brother Yan Chong, what, he... why do you say that..." Yan Chong took a puff of cigarette and said: "Don't ask any more questions, you should firmly remember what I said, if Zheng Zedao wants to kill you, no matter it is that monster A, Dingyi or Kudeng monk, everyone here, no one can kill you." The only way to save you is to see when you will die." Huo Xiaoxie nodded, and glanced at Zheng Zedao who was sitting outside the arbor. Zheng Zedao was half-opening and half-closing his eyes, with a peaceful expression, drinking the water in the glass very slowly, if you say he is good at flirting with flowers and grass , Seducing a woman from a good family is still like that, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone who can kill someone.This Zheng Zedao really has such a great ability, so that smoke insects are afraid of him? Both of them were silent for a moment, the smoke insect finished the last puff of cigarette, took another cigarette, took two puffs, and then slowly said: "Huo Xiaoxie, tell me honestly, did you know that Qiu Sun Bug Calling Technique." Huo Xiaoxie didn't want to hide it from Yan Chong, and said, "Yes, but I only know that there is one thing that is the way to break the autumn insect cry." Yan Chong said: "Is it a jade fetal bead?" Huo Xiaoxie was confused instead, how could Yan Chong be so clear?He couldn't help but widen his eyes, looked at the smoke insect, and said slowly: "Yes..." Yan Chong said in a breathless voice: "Hei Sanbian came to Fengtian to steal the jade tire beads from Zhang Siye's family. This guy once asked me to help him, but I was too lazy to talk to him and refused. Later he took Zhang The fourth master’s house was in a state of chaos. I heard that he was arrested and imprisoned by the Japanese. He didn’t know what to do. This fourth master Zhang came all the way from Fengtian to Shanxi, so I thought it was strange, so I wondered if it might be a jade embryo Can this shit break the Autumn Bug Crying Technique?" Huo Xiaoxie said: "Brother Yan Chong, what you said is correct, but I also heard it from others, and I don't know the specific method to crack it." Yan Chong said: "Do you know what the effect of jade fetal beads is?" Huo Xiaoxie shook his head and said, "I don't know about that." Yan Chong took a puff of cigarette and said: "Jade fetal bead is an evil thing, it is a highly poisonous thing and a rare medicinal material, its greatest effect is - anesthetic. Huo Xiaoxie took a breath: "Anesthetic?" Yan Chong snorted softly, and said: "Grind the jade tire beads into powder, expose them to the sun for three days, and then drink them with the boy's urine, and your whole body will be paralyzed. You will feel like your body and head are gone. Still being pinned up and unable to move, it took three days and three nights to slowly get better, if it didn’t get better after three days, then just keep your eyes open and wait for death, hehe, just thinking about this feeling gives me fucking goosebumps .” Huo Xiaoxie looked at Yan Chong, and asked cautiously: "Brother Yan Chong, you, have you tried?" The smoke insect took a long puff of smoke, and said: "I tried it once, it took five or six days for it to heal, and the **** almost died, so Hei Sanbian said he stole some jade beads, I almost gave him a beating , Later, I thought about letting the grandson Hei Sanbian find his own death, so I let him go." Huo Xiaoxie scratched his head and said, "Brother Yan Chong, why are you trying this ball thing?" Yan Chong said: "I've tried a lot of things, this one is nothing, there is a chicken bully thing called butt eye biting, it will be miserable if you eat it! Fuck! Fuck! Don't talk about it!" Huo Xiaoxie asked: "But why bother?" Smokeworm pulled open his leather jacket, slowly took out a black stubby cigarette from his pocket, and said, "I'm a smoker, and I can't make this kind of smoke if I don't try it out. Let me tell you." , My cigarette contains the powder of jade tire beads, it is only used at critical moments, it is a life-saving thing.” Yan Chong carefully tucked the cigarette back into his clothes, and said, "Huo Xiaoxie, do you have any ideas for breaking the autumn insect singing technique?" Huo Xiaoxie said: "Use the jade tire beads to paralyze the autumn insects?" Smoke Bug said: "This is a way." Huo Xiaoxie said: "But, it's really that simple, everyone can do it." Yan Chong said: "So, the Huo family has already made a plan, otherwise we wouldn't have so many of us gathered together. If you use jade tires and pearl hemp to turn the worms, it's just the first step." Huo Xiaoxie said: "But other people don't know the relationship between the Jade Fetal Bead and the Autumn Insect Crying Technique?" The smoke worm took a puff of smoke and said, "If you don't know, it's no fun!" The smoke bug moved its buttocks, stood up, and walked straight into the open space with a cigarette in its mouth. Huo Xiaoxie didn't know what Yan Chong was going to do, so she also stood up, and wanted to follow Yan Chong, but hesitated for a moment and stood still. Yan Chong walked to the middle of the open space and glanced at Jia Ding Yi and Kudeng Monk. The two sat on the ground and did not look at Yan Chong. Yan Chong took the cigarette from his mouth, giggled a few times, and said: "I said Jia Ding Yi, Ku Deng Monk, and the little boy Zheng Zedao, how long are you going to sit here and think about it?" Zheng Zedao said from a distance: "Brother Yan Chong, I think you have some good ideas?" Yan Chong said: "Is there a high opinion, but there is a low opinion! I know a way to break the autumn insect cry technique, would you like to hear it?" Monk Kudeng also chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Smoke bug benefactor, this matter is not a trifling matter." The black veil on A, Dingyi's body was floating, and suddenly he said in a strange way: "What conditions do you have? Just say it!" Yan Chong took a puff of his cigarette and said, "No conditions are required. Let's follow the rules of thieves. The first golden Buddha is mine!" Zheng Zedao slowly walked out of the arbor and said, "Brother Yan Chong, your method is really effective, and of course the first golden Buddha is yours." Zheng Zedao clasped his fists at Jia Dingyi and Kudeng Monk, and said loudly, "A Dingyi, Master Kudeng, what do you think?" Monk Ku Deng said: "Since it is the rule of the Tao, the poor monk has no objection." A, Ding and Yi laughed twice, and said, "Smokeworm, if you dare to talk nonsense, you know what will happen. Tell me, I have no objection." Yan Chong exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "Hey! You are all people who have seen the world, and you should have heard of jade fetal beads." Zheng Zedao, Jia Dingyi, and Monk Ku Deng were all startled for a while, and no one spoke for a while. Yan Chong snorted, and continued: "What? Don't you believe me?" 苦灯和尚倒是先说起话来：“烟虫施主，玉胎珠乃是十分稀罕的邪物，粉末剧毒无味，暴晒三日后若不慎服食，有全身麻痹的功效。玉胎珠为婴胎所化，贼道中人凡是排的上号的，都不愿偷这种晦气的东西。烟虫施主，你这话的意思，是说你有玉胎珠？” 烟虫说道：“我有是有那么一点点粉末，不是偷的，是找人要的，但我用来卷烟了，这里用不上。我是说佛堂前的桌子上那些物品中，必有玉胎珠的粉末，火家炼制过，专门用来对付秋日虫鸣术的。” 郑则道说道：“烟虫兄弟是想用玉胎珠的粉末，将秋日虫麻倒？呵呵，的确是个精妙的法子。” 甲丁乙嘿嘿两声，说道：“最多是减低秋日虫的敏感程度而已！嘿嘿，烟虫，不过你说的，的确值一枚金佛！” 苦灯和尚念了声佛号：“阿弥陀佛，若是火行贼王门下去偷的玉胎珠来，小僧还真有点瞧不起他们了。” 烟虫说道：“苦灯和尚，你也不要冤枉别人，我倒给火家人说个公道话，这个玉胎珠，应该是被东北四大盗的黑三鞭从奉天张四那里偷出来的。” 郑则道笑道：“烟虫兄弟，那你是如何打算下一步该如何？” 烟虫说道：“佛堂前的东西，我们一样一样的试，大家轮番进去。” 这些大盗全部点头，算是听从了烟虫的意见，郑则道依烟虫的法子，更进一步，说不必一样一样的试，这样太耽误时间，各个石室既然都一样，不如在一个石室前把所有东西都放上，只用试出一个石洞有效，找到最后破解的办法，就好办了，大不了每次都摆上所有东西。 众贼觉得有理，纷纷起身，各自从佛堂前的桌子上拿起几件物品，放在一个石洞中的石室前，一共摆了十四样东西。 摆放这些物品也有讲究，首先，所有物品均用“破相”，也就是说若是一双草鞋，要把草鞋撕开；一个苹果，要把苹果击烂；一个瓷瓶，要把瓷瓶封口揭开，倒出里面的东西，均是如此施为。其次，物品须摆在石洞中的石室入口前，不差分毫。 火小邪插不上手，呆立在一边看众贼忙碌，直到众贼忙完了，火小邪才凑到烟虫身边，低声问道：“烟虫大哥，这样好吗？要是无效的话，甲丁乙发作起来，很难对付的啊。” 烟虫说道：“这个甲丁乙，看着神神秘秘，凶巴巴吧，但我却觉得他对我的胃口，放心吧。” 火小邪哦了一声，低头不语。 烟虫把火小邪一拉，凑在他耳边说道：“第一枚金佛，我送给你。” 火小邪大惊，连连摆手：“这可使不得！” 烟虫哼道：“你当我真想当什么火家弟子啊？我他妈的就是来玩一玩的，我师父死了多年，自由自在惯了，无拘无束，想去哪里就去哪里，想干什么就干什么，就算火行盗术他妈的天下无双，平白给自己弄了副枷锁戴在脖子上，有个鸡霸的师父管着，我才不干咧！火小邪，你要是跟我客气，以后我就当不认识你了啊。” 火小邪叹道：“可是我本事低微，这样不劳而获，全凭别人施舍着过关，只怕更被人瞧不起。” 烟虫一拍火小邪的肩膀：“火小邪，你可要搞清楚，乱盗之关你赢了苦灯和尚，最后拿了四块号牌上来，竞盗之关，你也是凭自己的本事第一个过关，呵呵，不是我故意抬举你，你要成了火家弟子，学到真本事，只怕比我要强到哪里去了！” 火小邪说道：“烟虫大哥，算我求你，如果真能破了秋日虫鸣术，你得到金佛先不要给我，我自己试一试再说。” 烟虫看火小邪眼中恳切的很，抽了一口烟，长长呼吸，说道：“好，听你的。” 众贼安排稳当，彼此不再说话，都静静坐在洞口前的空地上等着，盯着洞口之内。 约摸过了半个时辰，甲丁乙站起身，哼了一句：“我看差不多了。”说着径直向一个石洞中走去，大家纷纷站起身来，无人阻止，目送甲丁乙走进石洞。 石洞中的石室离洞口不远，只有十多步的距离，众人聚在洞口外，能够看到甲丁乙的背影。 甲丁乙在石室前静立片刻，身子向前微动，一脚踏入石室地面，然后身子向前移去，刚刚稳住身子，只听洞中虫鸣声顿起！甲丁乙腾腾腾退出了石洞，虫鸣声才又慢慢止住。 甲丁乙看不见面目，不知道他什么表情，他退出洞后，又盘腿坐下，说道：“嘿嘿，苦灯和尚，是不是该你了？” 苦灯和尚念了声佛号，问道：“甲丁乙施主，你倒是说说刚才你如何做的？” 甲丁乙哼了一声，冷冷说道：“我走了一个平步进去，绝无震动，但还是引起了虫鸣，只是这次虫鸣，似乎比前两次晚来了些微。” 苦灯和尚微微点头，双手合十，向石洞中走去，行到石室前，站稳了身子，慢慢探头，向里面吹出一口气，毫无声息。 苦灯和尚眼神微亮，又向内加重吹了一口气，还是毫无声息。 众贼在洞外看到苦灯和尚这般动作，竟没有引起虫鸣，都彼此看了一眼，心中略喜。 苦灯和尚心里也念了声好，缓缓抬起双手，手指凑在唇边，平缓的吹出了一个细长的哨音，石室内依旧没有动静。众贼心中都暗念了一声好！ 苦灯和尚猛一闭嘴，将哨音收起，可就在声音停止之时，虫鸣声猛然发作，苦灯和尚暗哼一声，身子直直向洞外退去。 苦灯和尚退出洞外，那虫鸣声也就停了，苦灯和尚脸色发白，转身对众人说道：“烟虫施主说的不错，那些秋日虫应该被麻痹了，我前几次进石室，根本等不到第三下的哨音。” 郑则道说道：“苦灯师父，你哨音不停，反倒没有虫鸣，怎么你一停，虫鸣就起？” 苦灯和尚说道：“惭愧，我也不知何故。”说罢也盘腿坐下，静静调整呼吸。火小邪知道虫鸣的厉害，哪怕就在石洞中听了这么一小会的功夫，都会难受之极。 郑则道看了眼烟虫，说道：“烟虫兄弟，你先还是我先？” 烟虫说道：“你先请。” 郑则道微微一笑，说道：“呈让了！”说罢也向洞中走去。 郑则道来到石室前，慢慢环视了石室内的景物一圈，眼睛落在最尽头的金佛上，眯了眯眼，随即眼睛一睁，瞳孔中猛然泛出层层杀气，一张脸冷若冰霜，惨白一片，好像血液都被逼出了脸庞，如同一个死人。好在郑则道背对着洞外的众人，无人能看到他有这番表情，不然定会大为吃惊。 众人见郑则道站在石室前一动不动，都觉得怪异，不知他要做些什么，可就在此时，郑则道身子一晃，居然消失不见。 火小邪差点就要喊出声来。 郑则道确实消失在石室前，而且没有引起虫鸣，或坐或站在洞口的烟虫、苦灯和尚、甲丁乙都神色严肃，眼睛一眨不眨的盯着洞中。 洞中无声无息，也看不到郑则道的人影，约摸过了半盏茶的时间，忽然虫鸣声猛烈的响起，从石室一侧飞也似的闪出一个人来，正是郑则道。郑则道飞也似的奔出洞中，一撩衣衫，转了个身，盘腿坐在地上。 众人看去，郑则道面如白纸，毫无血色，眉头紧皱，紧闭着双眼，急促的呼吸。 没有人说话，都静候着郑则道缓过神来。 半晌之后，郑则道脸上又有了血色，渐渐恢复了常态，还没有等其他人说话，郑则道已经睁开眼睛，先是呵呵笑了两声，这才说道：“秋日虫确实被麻痹住，敏感程度降低，我已有破解之法。” 甲丁乙嘿嘿冷笑，说道：“郑则道，你好身手！刚才你是贴着墙壁前行吗？” 郑则道说道：“不错，我并未直行，而是闪身到了石室一侧，贴着墙壁前行，多亏了甲丁乙兄弟和苦灯师父前面试了两次，我才能在石室中呆了这么一会功夫，可惜我还是只走了共计五步而已。” 烟虫说道：“郑则道，你说你有了破解之法，何不说来听听。” 郑则道呵呵一笑，说道：“需用某种特殊的身法，才可不惊动秋日虫。只是这种身法如何施为，我只可意会不能言传。” 苦灯和尚说道：“善哉，郑施主，既然大家合作行事，还请直言。” 甲丁乙也跟着嘿嘿冷笑了两声。 郑则道说道：“玉胎珠确实起了作用，但功效有限，其一，低于苦灯师父的哨音的振动，秋日虫不会鸣叫，除非人能够悬浮飘飞到金佛处，否则以常人之力，实难做到；其二，某种特定频率范围内的振动，亦不会引起秋日虫的鸣叫。我刚才只试出了微弱的一点罢了，细弱游丝，尽管我心中清楚，可真的是说不出来。人人体质不同，我的感觉只有我一人知晓，并非不愿意告诉大家。” 甲丁乙冷哼道：“至少你能够做到其一，而且能前行五步。” 郑则道笑道：“甲丁乙兄弟高估我了，我只能前行三步，第四步实不相瞒，我是蒙上的，这才知道其二，但第五步就引起了虫鸣。” 苦灯和尚说道：“善哉，郑施主，你这么一说，小僧倒突然想明白了一件事。” 郑则道抬头笑道：“苦灯师父请讲。” 苦灯和尚说道：“刚才我哨音响起时，并未引起虫鸣，而哨音停止时，本该无事，却引起了虫鸣，所以，小僧推断，郑施主其二所说的某种特定频率之内，并不完全正确，应该是两种或三种特定频率交替不停的使用，这才能始终让秋日虫没有反应。” 郑则道说道：“苦灯师父说的有理！” 甲丁乙嘿嘿笑道：“不错！和尚实在！” 郑则道呵呵一笑，再不说话。 烟虫抽了口烟，说道：“那么该我了？” 火小邪低声道：“要不，我先？” 烟虫捏了捏火小邪的肩头，说道：“我先吧，你最后！”说着把嘴上的烟头吐掉，从袖口中变出一根一端满是牙印的小木棍，咬在嘴中，向洞中走出。
