Xu Ping walked behind the team, feeling a little puzzled.
Why did Ma Dalong suddenly change his attitude towards him so quickly?
Chun Sanniang looked at Ma Dalong beside her from time to time, feeling very strange in her heart.
In every cave in La'er Mountain, there may be a Luodong Flower Girl, and in each cave, the Cave God served by the Luodong Flower Girl is very different, so they need someone to enter the cave first to investigate.
The reason why Xu Ping was recruited was based on this plan.
"Brother Long, what do you mean?"
Chun Sanniang asked in a low voice, for fear that she would become cannon fodder.
Ma Dalong said calmly: "This Xu Ping is young and has great abilities. If he can be used by me, that would be the best."
This show of goodwill is a signal.
Chun Sanniang understood, nodded and said: "It turns out that Brother Long wants to recruit him, but it doesn't have to be so troublesome. I have two-hearted Gu here. As long as I plant the sub-gu on him, I can make him willingly bow to me."
Under the skirt, follow my directions."
Ma Dalong's eyes lit up, but he still muttered: "No need for the time being, let's observe it first, and if there is no other way in the end, we can secretly cast the poison."
Good guy!
I just wanted you to help lead the way, but you ended up trying to kill me.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Ping's lips. He was proficient in the art of witchcraft and poison, so he naturally knew this two-hearted poison very well.
Two-hearted Gu.
The denominator Gu and the sub-gu, the person who is poisoned by the sub-gu will obey the instructions of the mother voodoo. If he disobeys, his heart will be eaten by the sub-gu and he will die without a complete body.
Ren Ma Dalong and Chun Sanniang never expected that Xu Ping, who was walking at the back of the team, could actually hear their conversation.
But Xu Ping still pretended to be indifferent on the surface, and continued to move forward with a few people without looking away.
After entering the poisonous fog in the valley, everyone's spirits were highly tense, and they were always paying attention to everything that might happen.
Apart from being harassed by some venomous snakes and scorpions, everything was fine.
Chun Sanniang was very happy. Along the way, she collected some poisonous bodies and put them into a golden cloth bag.
If Ma Dalong hadn't stopped her, she would have eaten two poisonous scorpions alive to see how toxic they were.
During the march, everyone suddenly discovered that the poisonous fog in front of them was getting stronger and stronger, and several people's protection had been damaged in different ways.
Seeing this, Chun Sanniang reluctantly took out a few bright yellow pills and said, "Keep these in your mouth, you can temporarily resist the poisonous mist."
Seeing the reluctance on her face, several people quickly took it and threw it into their mouths without hesitation.
Xu Pingyang pretended to take the pill, holding the left side of his hand, and said: "Look carefully, it seems that the poisonous mist is coming from that place."
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger. Ma Dalong looked excited and said, "That's right, the first cave we are looking for is over there."
"Brother Long, we are taking such a big risk. You can tell your brothers what is in the cave. Even if you die, you will know why." Someone said.
Ma Dalong pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay to tell you. According to what Lao Li said, there should be a sacred object of the Wu Gu Sect's Five Poison Hall - the Five Poison Orders in the cave, and there should also be a treasure hidden in the cave after the Wu Gu Sect was disbanded.
There are countless treasures here.”
When several people heard this, their minds immediately came alive.
They didn't know Ma Dalong's thoughts, they only thought that the treasure was the most attractive.
People die for wealth, knowing that there will be a lot of treasures in the caves on this trip. Wealth and wealth can be found in danger, so no one complains anymore.
Xu Ping, on the other hand, was a little upset because he was not interested in the so-called Five Poison Orders and treasures.
He came to find Ishida Ghost and kill him.
"arrive!"
Ma Dalong suddenly spoke.
In front of you is a green cliff covered with green vines. There is a cave on the cliff, and the entrance of the cave is also sealed by vines. Among those vines, there are poisonous centipedes crawling around. These poisonous centipedes crawl from time to time.
He poked out his big eyes and looked at the people in front of him curiously.
Ma Dalong did not prepare to go in immediately, but looked back at everyone, thinking in his mind who should be sent into the cave first.
"you……"
According to past practice, each cave has different dangers. One person must be arranged to enter the cave first, and after investigating the situation, they can enter the cave together to avoid the whole army being annihilated.
But those who enter in advance to inquire will inevitably encounter unknown dangers.
Ma Dalong originally planned to arrange for Xu Ping to enter the cave, but now he wanted to recruit him. He didn't want him to die in vain if he entered the cave.
But the eyes of the other people involuntarily drifted towards Xu Ping.
After all, this was an arrangement that several people had made long ago. No one except Chun Sanniang knew about Ma Dalong's sudden change of mind.
Ma Dalong was still deep in thought and had not decided on the candidate. Xu Ping had already seen the situation clearly and took the initiative to stand up and said: "Brother Long, I just arrived here and didn't say much. Leave the task of exploring the cave to me."
.”
When a person enters a cave, no matter what situation he encounters, he will not be in a dilemma due to restrictions.
These people can't die yet, at least not yet.
He needed Ma Dalong to take him to the ruins of the Wu Gu Cult and to other caves, especially the legendary largest cave in Mount La'er. He suspected that the Ishida Ghost might be in one of these two places.
"you go?"
Ma Dalong was startled, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Brother Xu, you must be careful..."
As he said that, he looked at Chun Sanniang, who took out a Gu worm and said: "You can take this Gu worm with you and you can talk to us at any time. You also need to tell us everything you see along the way.
"
Xu Ping nodded, took the Gu worm and put it on his shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Dalong took out a hemp rope as thick as a baby's arm from the bag, handed the other end to Xu Ping, and said: "Tie this to yourself. If you encounter danger, you will immediately alert us. We will
Pull you out immediately."
Xu Ping nodded.
Judging from this posture, it is not the first time for this group of people to do it, and the preparations are quite complete.
"Wow——"
A bright yellow flame shot out, burning the vines at the entrance of the cave, revealing a dark cave entrance. The poisonous insects that were originally attached to the vines quickly crawled away, and some even crawled directly into the cave.
middle.
The poisonous mist was still floating out of the cave. Xu Ping glanced at everyone, his body glowed with golden light, and he slowly walked into the cave.
It wasn't until his figure disappeared that Wu Changjiu said, "Brother Long, can this person be trusted?"
Ma Dalong smiled: "Brother Xu can take the initiative to ask for help and explore the cave this time. Doesn't it mean that he doesn't want to be our enemy."
As he spoke, he looked at Wu Changjiu in front of him and said earnestly: "Xiaojiu, everyone has secrets in their hearts. You can't be wary of others just because they have secrets."
Wu Changjiu nodded: "Yes."
Chun Sanniang also came over and said, "Xiao Jiu, we are in the process of employing people now. If this person named Xu Ping is obedient, then that's it. If he is not obedient, it won't be too late for us to take action."
Several other people were also satisfied with Xu Ping's performance and took the initiative to take over this dangerous task. No one disliked such a person.
The vines on the cliff wall that sealed the cave entrance were burned by the flames, but the vines continued to extend at this time and sealed the cave entrance again, as if nothing had changed.
Chun Sanniang's eyes lit up and she became interested in these vines again.
But in order to avoid unnecessary complications, we can only give up temporarily at this time.
"Sanniang, first turn on the Listening Gu." Ma Dalong ordered.
Chun Sanniang nodded and took out a Gu insect from her arms, which was exactly the same as the one Xu Ping took away.
Put your palms together on your chest, hold the Gu insect between your palms, and feel the vibrations from the Gu insect, which produces a unique tone that rings in everyone's ears.
"I have entered the cave. There are many poisonous insects inside, but they are not a threat to me yet. They cannot break through my golden light. Now there are two roads in front of me, one on the left and one on the right. Which way should I go?
Walk?"
Listening to Xu Ping's voice coming from the Gu insect in Chun Sanniang's palm, Ma Dalong frowned. He had never gone in before, so naturally he didn't know which way to go.
"Brother Xu, what are the characteristics of the two roads?" Ma Dalong asked.
"The road on the left has rugged rocks and you can't see inside, while the road on the right is overgrown with weeds, etc... These are poisonous weeds, very poisonous..."
Hearing this, Chun Sanniang was very excited, her breathing was rapid and her chest was heaving. She already wanted to go in and pick poisonous weeds.
Ma Dalong pondered slightly and said, "Brother Xu, you must be careful when taking the path of poisonous weeds."
…
Xu Ping in the cave heard the sound, smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll take the road to the right and take a look."
As he spoke, his eyes drifted to the left. Although the cave was filled with poisonous mist, blocking her sight, she still saw the end of the road on the left, where there was a grotto.
After thinking for a while, Xu Ping did not follow Ma Dalong's words, but walked towards the grotto.
About twenty or thirty meters away, Xu Ping went straight into the grotto. The first thing he saw was wooden boxes on the ground. The wooden boxes were filled with gold and silver treasures, and there were still things crawling on the ingots in the box.
All kinds of poisonous insects are even covered with a layer of venom and should not be touched at will.
Looking at the piles of jewelry in front of him, Xu Ping fell into deep thought.
If you take it away, it doesn't matter. If you put it into a bottomless pit, no one will know.
But when the people outside the cave see this, they may immediately have differences. Some people are afraid that they will take the jewelry down the mountain in an instant, or kill each other for the jewelry.
Let me solve this problem.
These wealth may be of little use to me, but I can't live without them.
Xu Ping thought so in his heart.
After all, he still needs these people to take him in the mountains to find the whereabouts of Ishida Ghost.
With one palm strike, Xu Ping knocked away the poisonous insects on the jewelry box. Xu Ping then opened the bottomless pit and sucked all the jewelry into the bottomless pit.
However, traces were still left on the ground. Xu Ping took advantage of the situation and wiped away the traces with his palm. When the dust was completely covered and no flaws could be seen anymore, he smiled with satisfaction.
"Brother Xu, why didn't you say anything? Did you find anything on the road?" A voice came from the Gu insect on his shoulder.
"No!"
Xu Ping's voice was calm, he exited the grotto and walked towards another road.
"There are only poisonous weeds and poisonous insects on the road. They can't cause any harm to me for the time being. The road ahead starts to turn left. I haven't found anything else yet..."
Xu Ping walked and talked at the same time.
But everyone outside the cave listened quietly, completely unaware that one of their goals, the huge wealth, had fallen into Xu Ping's hands.
"Okay, Brother Xu, if you encounter any situation, tell us in time." Ma Dalong said without any doubt.
After all, Xu Ping walked in with a mahogany sword and the baggage was still outside. Even if there was something in the cave, he couldn't hide it.
In the cave, Xu Ping turned left at the end of the road, and a stone chamber appeared in front of him. The scene inside suddenly appeared in front of Xu Ping, which made him raise his eyebrows and couldn't help but take a step back.
At the top of the stone chamber, several vines serve as ropes to hang a spherical flesh membrane. The flesh membrane is as big as three water tanks and seems to contain some kind of liquid, which is very strange.
And directly below the flesh membrane, an oval-shaped token with angular corners is inserted into the ground. The faint poisonous mist is constantly infused into the spherical flesh membrane at the top, as if it is nourishing something.
Next to the token, there was a white skeleton. Between the skull and the ribs, there were poisonous insects crawling in and out. It looked very scary.
"Ah this..."
Even Xu Ping couldn't understand what was going on and what he was doing.
There was darkness in the spherical flesh membrane. Xu Ping detected his consciousness, but the isolation ability of the flesh membrane was very strong, and he could barely detect that there were living things in the flesh membrane, and there was more than one.
Look at the white bones on the ground, and then look up at the fleshy membrane.
He thought in his mind that the white bones on the ground were the legendary Cave Flower Girl, and the fleshy membrane on top of her head was the Cave God she served.
"Brother Xu, did you discover something?" Ma Dalong's question came from the Gu insect.
After Xu Ping thought quickly, he decided to tell the truth and told everything about the scene in front of him.
They're always going to come in, so it's better to be generous.
After hearing Xu Ping's words, Ma Dalong's breathing became visibly quickened. He did not expect that his trip would go so smoothly and he would already see the Five Poison Orders.
As for the fleshy membrane, he didn't know much about it. He could only make a judgment after seeing it.
"Brother Xu, is there any treasure inside?" someone next to him asked.
Xu Ping couldn't help but grin and said calmly: "I've never seen that before, but I haven't walked the other road yet, maybe it's over there."
Upon hearing this, several people were instantly excited, and their voices could be heard, transmitted through the Gu worm, "Brother Long, let's go in quickly."
Ma Dalong could not hide his excitement. He calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Xiaojiu, stay outside. Others, come in with me."
