……

As the saying goes: Only when you come out of the water can you see muddy legs.

I was so focused on running away just now that I forgot about the injury on my hand.While breathing for a while, Bai Shibao suddenly felt a burning pain in his hands, and looked at them with both hands, trembling with fright!At this time, the palms were swollen like meatloaf, and the joints were more like nail points, and it hurt so badly!
When Bai Shibao saw it, he regretted it. He regretted that he should have touched the coffin impulsively.But now, it was too late to regret, he stared at Lin Jiu in a daze, and said, "This, this hand..."

Lin Jiu didn't speak, turned around and broke a branch at the entrance of the cave, broke off the branches and leaves, wiped it with a talisman, and shouted: "The wooden sword is on the front!" After he made such a move, the branch seemed to be worn away. The blade became a shining 'wooden sword'.Then he bent down and stretched out a hand, holding a 'wooden sword' on his wrist!
"Ouch!"

When Bai Shibao saw it, he was startled, rushed over and grabbed the 'wooden sword' with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Daozhang Lin, don't do this! Once you chop off your hand, disaster will strike you. In the future, you How can you still pick up amulets and spells?... Hurry up and get rid of this idea!"

Lin Jiu was stunned: "Who said I want to chop my hands?"

Bai Shibao asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

Lin Jiu said: "Didn't you see the appearance of these hands? If you don't release some poisonous blood quickly, it will be miserable when the poisonous blood flows all over your body. It won't be solved by just chopping your hands!"

Bai Shibao breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "I thought you were going to break your hands too much!"

Lin Jiu sighed: "I never wanted to chop off these hands, but I was afraid that if I chopped them off, the "Maoshan Talisman" method would be broken, and I would have no face to see the ancestor..." After that, Lin Jiuyong The 'wooden sword' cut hard on the wrist, and there were cuts all over the place, and black blood gushed out, like ink.

Bai Shibao thought to himself: Why, Taoist Lin has not confiscated disciples yet?

At this time, Lin Jiu hastily reiterated: "This Gu poison is fierce. It is not the person who used the Gu to detoxify it himself. It is very difficult to break it..." After finishing speaking, Lin Jiu handed the 'wooden sword' to Bai Shibao, indicating that he would do the same. Do.Bai Shibao frowned as he took the 'wooden sword', gritted his teeth, and cut off the wrists of both hands!

The poisonous blood flowed for a while, and slowly turned red.

In the end, Lin Jiu took out four more talisman papers, pasted them on their wrists, sealed the wound, stopped the bleeding, then frowned and said: "I think this method can only last for a while, this Gu has not been eradicated, about an hour After that, the hands will swell up!"

Bai Shibao said: "It seems that this Gu technique must be undone as soon as possible before the blood runs out!"

Lin Jiu nodded.

At this time, Ma Zhaoxue suddenly yelled: "Egg yolk! Egg yolk!"

Bai Shibao turned his head and saw that the big egg yolk dog's whole body was swollen, curled up on the ground, its eyes were blurred, only the eyelids could move, as if its breath was in its throat, and it might die at any time.Bai Shibao walked over and handed the 'wooden sword' to Ma Zhaoxue and said, "Cut a hole in its leg, let some poisonous blood come out..."

Ma Zhaoxue took the 'wooden sword' and cut the egg yolk's leg, a stream of black blood flowed out immediately.Ma Zhaoxue looked distressed, her eyes were red, and she said sternly, "This woman is so vicious! See if I don't kill her!"

Seeing Ma Zhaoxue crying, Bai Shibao didn't know why, but felt a little uncomfortable, and thought to himself: This girl loves and hates so much, and the person she hates is actually his own father, Ma Kuiyuan!It was hard enough for her...

Wang Wang!

At this moment, the big egg white dog seemed to smell something, and rushed to the entrance of the cave, barking wildly.

The old fox fairy ran to the entrance of the cave to have a look!
Shocked like a wooden stake, he poked there blankly, motionless!
Bai Shibao turned around and walked to the entrance of the cave. Looking outside, his eyes were also staring like a pair of bull's eyes, and he stammered, "This is..."

A hundred meters away from the cave, four brown foxes, one big and three small, were hanging on a crooked-neck tree. Blood was dripping from the four foxes, and the tree was densely covered with poisonous scorpions.And there are more on the ground, mighty like quicksand, the ground is red, and scorpions are still coming from the ground, like a spring.

Bai Shibao was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head to look at that old fox fairy!
With tears in his eyes, the old fox fairy stood up, turned around in a circle, and turned into an old man with a sharp mouth and yellow face.Wearing dark blue dark flower mourning clothes with four white pear flowers on his chest, he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "There is no escape from disaster! You are a poisonous scorpion, just wait for me..." After finishing speaking, Waving to Bai Shibao and Lin Jiu, he shouted, "Come with me!"

Lin Jiu nodded to Bai Shibao, and said in a low voice, "Poor, it's his family..." Bai Shibao paused, gritted his teeth, turned around and followed the old fox fairy.

I didn't take a closer look when I came in just now, there is a black curtain hidden deep in the cave!
Swish!
The old fox lifted the black curtain, and there were seven or eight ropes hanging horizontally inside. The ropes looked like gourds, and were tied with rows of bamboo tubes!

Bai Shibao was stunned: "This is?"

The old fox fairy took off four or five bamboo tubes, handed them to Bai Shibao and Lin Jiu, and said, "There are nitrate and charcoal in it, you put these three into a bamboo tube, put more sulfur and less charcoal, It's 'horizontal medicine'!"

Bai Shibao took a look at his hand and asked, "Hold medicine?"

The old fox nodded and said: "Horizontal powder is also gunpowder. When it explodes horizontally, it can kill people! There is another kind called 'vertical powder', which uses less sulfur in the nitrate and more charcoal. It's fireworks!"

Lin Jiu interjected, "Sulphur is easy to buy, and shops in the county sell it, but did you burn this charcoal yourself?"

"The charcoal needs to be burned in an iron pot. When will so much charcoal be burned?" After a pause, the old fox said, "When I went north, I used a box of silver, which I found in the army... "

"army?"

"That's right! This army is under Yuan Shikai's command. The pistol captain doesn't care about the war. He stays in the kiln all day long. He buys the ammunition for food and drink. When he runs out of money, he makes up for it with 'Battle Report Loss'." Come on! After I heard the news, I took the initiative to find him with a box of silver, and in the end he only agreed to sell me the sulfur carbon and let me make it myself..."

"Yuan Shikai has such subordinates, it seems that he can't last long!" Lin Jiu thought for a while, and then asked: "Then where did you get all these fire nitrates?"

"There are plenty of white flowers by the Alkaline River! But this nitrate can only make 'vertical medicine', but it can't make 'horizontal medicine', and it's not as good as a fart sound after being lit; to scrape the wall..."

Lin Jiu said in shock: "That's formed urine nitrate!"

"That's right! It's a pity that on the way I came here, all the strong men in the villages I passed were taken away, and only the old people in the whole village were left. They were so pissed that they didn't have any firepower... I had to use my own!"

After hearing this, Bai Shibao was stunned for a moment, he didn't feel it if he didn't say it, but when he said it, he immediately felt a sense of agitation in the bamboo tube.At this moment, the old fox yelled: "Don't be dazed! Quickly prepare the medicine, insert the medicine letter and throw it out. Don't wait for the scorpions to rush to the entrance of the cave!"

Bai Shibao nodded, and hastily poured several bamboo tubes on the ground, mixed the nitrate and charcoal well, reloaded them into the bamboo tubes, sealed the lids and pressed them tightly, and inserted a medicine letter on top!Bai Shibao ran to the entrance of the cave with four or five bamboo tubes in his hand, and saw that the four foxes were already covered with scorpions, densely packed like a hornet's nest...

Bai Shibao stared intently for a long time, but still couldn't see Lingyao's figure. He was pondering in his heart, and only heard Lin Jiu say: "After you light the fire, throw it out quickly. If you hold the fire wrong, your hands will blow up. !"

Bai Shibao nodded, before he had time to think about it, he placed the bamboo tube at the entrance of the cave, picked up a bamboo tube and lit it on fire, and threw it into the pile of scorpions with his hands...

boom!
The sound was like the sky falling and the earth falling, the bamboo tube exploded in the pile of scorpions, the smoke burst into flames, and the flames exploded into a sea of ​​thunder.

"So domineering!"

Bai Shibao couldn't help shouting, this bamboo cannon is more majestic than the double thunder in his palm!This is not a spell, but a real package of explosives.The group of scorpions was blown into scum, turned into a puff of smoke, and those next to them were also covered in flames, crawling around in the scorpion group, drawing the fire to other scorpions, and instantly, a large area was burned to death!

Lin Jiu was stunned, and thought to himself: "Why does the fried bamboo tube look so familiar?" After thinking about it, he turned back to the old fox fairy and asked, "Did you let it go just now?"

The old fox nodded and said: "Just now I saw that woman hiding in the woods, so I fired a cannon. Unfortunately, the cannon was too far away, and the cannon missed and hit a tree!"

"No wonder!"

Lin Jiu shouted: "I didn't see it clearly just now, I thought it was a white corpse buried under that tree, and the thunder came down to split the coffin!"

The old fox fairy shook his head and said, "That's not true."

This time!

Bai Shibao yelled, "No way! Why are there more explosions?"

Everyone approached and looked out!I saw the group of scorpions continuously coming out of the ground like spring water, crawling towards the cave... Lin Jiu said urgently: "This is not the way, we have to find that little girl as soon as possible! She has the 'Mother Gu' in her hand, if the 'Mother Gu' is not destroyed, the scorpion will regenerate!"

Bai Shibao said: "I can't see Lingyao's figure now, is she hiding in a dark place and peeping at us?"

Lin Jiu thought for a while and said, "Let's lure her out!"

"How to lead?"

Lin Jiu shook his clothes, beckoned to Bai Shibao, and said, "Give me two bamboo tubes, and I'll blow up a path to lure her out, and then I'll find a way to catch her!"

Bai Shibao said, "No! This is too dangerous! Those scorpions..."

Snapped!
Before Bai Shibao finished speaking, Ma Zhaoxue came forward with angry eyes, snatched the bamboo tube from Bai Shibao's hand, lit it on the fire, threw it away, then grabbed the two bamboo tubes on the ground, turned around Shouted to the old fox fairy: "Chelian fairy! Help me take care of the egg white and egg yolk... I'll catch her!" After saying that, he jumped and rushed out of the cave.

Bai Shibao panicked and shouted, "Sister! What are you doing..."
