The night was hazy, with a crescent moon hanging in the sky, faintly illuminating the mountain landscape.
I looked over.
Sure enough, there is a Taoist temple in the middle of a semi-open cave.
Above the Taoist temple, there is a faint green light.
Like the green liquid that comes out of a dead black scorpion.
"It seems that there are really Taoist priests refining elixirs here on the mountain. Moreover, they also raise a lot of black scorpions."
I said.
"It is indeed very evil. I can't guarantee that Qi Mengxilou is inside."
Bai Tiehu said excitedly.
"When the black scorpions recede a little more, let's go to the Taoist temple and have a look."
I said.
After about half an hour, Shen Lian ate some food and cut a tree stick to use as a crutch.
Let's light more torches.
The Snake Immortal led the way up the mountain road.
Everyone is on alert and beware of the black scorpions that may come out of the darkness at any time.
Wait until we get closer to the Taoist temple.
I found many scorpions coiled on the beams of the Taoist temple.
My eyelids jumped.
It's clearly the Black Scorpion's lair.
Fortunately, these black scorpions have dealt with us and suffered losses.
It just lingered on the eaves and did not attack.
The Taoist temple is not large and is built in the middle of a natural cave. It is mostly built with wood and gravel.
The door was ajar, and occasionally scorpions would come out of it.
Over the years, no one has repaired it, and it has become dilapidated.
Not popular at all.
Rao is so.
I still feel uneasy in my heart.
Meng Xilou may not be a popular person, so it is normal for him not to be popular.
"You like to raise all kinds of scorpions. May I ask, what kind of scorpions are there?"
I invited White Scorpion out and asked.
After seeing it, the white scorpion said: "There are seven lines on the back, they are black ghost scorpions. They like to attack by nature, they are very fast, and they are black, so they are like ghosts in the dark. So they are named black ghost scorpions. I This is the first time I have seen such a huge number."
It's actually a black ghost scorpion.
I took a breath.
This kind of scorpion is extremely difficult to raise, and it takes more than five years from birth to reproduction. Generally speaking, scorpions are used as medicinal materials, and most of them will not use black ghost scorpions.
"If black ghosts are used to raise scorpion poison, will the effect be the best?"
I asked.
He pondered for a moment: "If you want to raise scorpion voodoo, including residual scorpions, it is best to choose the golden-tailed emperor scorpion. The black ghost is fast and less toxic than the emperor scorpion. It is suitable for raising in large quantities and used to directly attack people. If you raise scorpion voodoo, the toxicity is Not enough."
He paused and said, "Only those who practice insect art will raise black ghost scorpions."
I was shocked.
Gu magic and insect magic are two different categories.
Gu technique is to turn bugs into voodoos.
The insect technique is to directly tame and control various poisonous insects for one's own use.
Miao Huanshui of Miao Ren Valley controls snakes to attack people, which falls into the category of insect magic.
Practicing insect magic is extremely difficult, because when attacking with insect magic, there are usually hundreds or even thousands of people. Moreover, you need to be extremely familiar with the habits of insects to find a way to control them.
If you practice insect magic and choose scorpions to attack people, the black ghost scorpion is the best choice.
Refining these scorpions with insect poison and erysipelas can make up for the lack of toxicity of the black ghost.
Figure this out.
I was slightly disappointed.
Meng Xilou's practice of refining and raising residual scorpions belongs to the category of Gu magic. So the master of the Taoist temple here may be someone else.
I hurriedly asked: "Can we say that the temple master here practices insect art, so he raises so many extremely aggressive black ghost scorpions? He is not raising gu here?"
Bai Xiezi was silent for a moment and responded: "Judging from the current clues, it should be yes."
"That's not Mengxilou's territory."
I took a deep breath and then shouted loudly, "Dongsheng of Camellia Cave came here to visit. I wonder if the temple owner is in the temple. Junior, I would like to ask the temple owner some questions."
There was a squeak.
The door of the Taoist temple swayed with the breeze, opening wider, and a green light shone out from the middle.
My heart couldn't help but tremble, and my eyelids jumped wildly.
"No one responded to us. These scorpions are brutal and overbearing."
"Could it be them who killed the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple and occupied the temple?"
Bai Tiehu said.
If you raise voodoo bugs, they will bite back and kill the owner.
Of course, practicing insect art also has such dangers.
"Let's go in and take a look. Don't scatter. Get your knife and kerosene ready. Then apply insect repellent herbs. If there are too many black ghosts, get out of there as soon as possible."
I stared at it for a while and said.
I am full of curiosity.
Scorpions are entrenched here, surrounded by green light. What is the cause?
Is the viewer here dead or alive?
You can only find out if you go in and take a look.
After being fully prepared.
We enter the Taoist temple.
"Scorpions are more afraid of light. Now put two torches at the door. Then put two cans of kerosene to ensure the route out."
I said.
When I first entered the temple, I saw a worn-out plaque lying on the ground.
Shine a light with a torch, and three big characters "Scorpion King View" will appear on it.
The inside of the Taoist temple is covered with rattan, and green light is constantly coming out. Wherever the light shines, black ghost scorpions flee quickly.
The ground inside the temple is covered with dead leaves, indicating that no one has lived or cleaned it for a long time.
"The master of the Scorpion King Temple is either dead or has been away for many years."
Chun Ya looked around with an open bow and said cautiously.
"The name of this temple is really strange. Is there a big scorpion enshrined here that deserves the title of 'Scorpion King'?"
Bai Tiehu said.
"Not sure."
Chunya responded.
"Shen Lian, among the side sects, there is the Centipede Way. Is there another weird sect like the Scorpion Way?"
I asked.
"I've never heard of any scorpion gate."
Shen Lian gave a negative answer almost without thinking.
In the middle of the temple, there is a shrine nearly two meters high.
There is a collapsed spiritual tablet on the shrine, and the incense burner next to it is still standing, but no one has offered incense for a long time.
I tied the torch in my hand to the wooden pillar inside the temple.
"Snake Immortal, bring down the statue and take a look. Be careful of the black scorpion next to it, don't let it hurt you."
I said to the Snake Great Immortal.
The Snake Immortal sneaked up to the shrine and quickly removed the shrine.
It is a spiritual tablet made of ordinary fir wood. Just use some tung oil to smear the surface. It should be made of Pingshan materials.
My pupils opened suddenly and I blurted out, "How could it be his spiritual position?"
On this ordinary fir tree spiritual tablet.
It clearly reads "The spiritual position of the two-headed scorpion Xiao Benevolent".
All kinds of thoughts came to my mind, how could anyone set up a spiritual place for the two-headed scorpion here?
What great favor did the owner of the Scorpion King Temple receive from the Two-Headed Scorpion?
Has the two-headed scorpion been here before?
At this moment, the black scorpions on the rafters gathered together again, their tails trembling violently and making continuous sounds.
Gugua! Gugua!
The four-eyed toad screamed.
It instantly became chilling.
Hiss.
A large scorpion with a dark body and green light crawled out from the stone wall behind the shrine.
Its body is thin and its whole body is full of strength.
