Volume 2 Chapter 38 Hunting for Chickens
After Luo Changfeng finished sprinkling the medicinal powder, he turned around and jumped up, originally he could directly raise his qi and jump to the top of the temple, but he didn't do this, but stepped on the centipede hanging mountain ladder twice, and jumped to the top of the temple with his strength.
"Take back the ladder, go up first, report the situation here to the chief, and discuss it. ”
"Yes. ”
The monkey and the ground jumped back to the ladder and reconnected to the ladder of the cliff, and then the three of them climbed up the ladder.
Looking at the two people who climbed up the ladder next to him, Luo Changfeng was relieved that he had finally saved the lives of these two guys, and in the original play, their deaths were too worthless.
Not far from climbing up, Luo Changfeng saw that not far from the centipede hanging ladder, the partridge whistle and the old foreigner were "rope down" along a long rope.
The two of them also quickly discovered Luo Changfeng and the three of them, and the partridge whistle stopped the downward trend, and asked sideways, "Luo Zhangtou, what is the situation below?"
Luo Changfeng explained: "Something is not good, below is a side hall of an underground palace, which is full of extremely poisonous centipedes, and there is no place to settle at all, the two of you can't go down rashly, let's go up first, it's better to think about it in the long run." ”
Hearing this, the partridge whistle frowned and looked at the old foreigner, nodded to each other, and then climbed up again.
......
On the cliff, Chen Yulou and the others waited for more than half an hour without moving, and they couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and Luo Lao paced back and forth crookedly, causing everyone to be even more irritable.
"Luo Shuai, can you sit down and rest for a while, keep turning like this, you are not tired, I am stunned by you. Chen Yulou said to Luo Lao angrily.
Luo Lao stopped his steps and said depressedly: "I'm not in a hurry! It's been going down for more than half an hour, and there hasn't been a signal yet, so something can't be wrong?"
Chen Yulou's face sank, and he said categorically: "No, there is no signal, which means that there is danger below, and you can't go down rashly." ”
"But with Changfeng's ability, it's not so easy to have an accident, wait another quarter of an hour, if there is still no news, I'll go down and see for myself. ”
A shadow cast over everyone's hearts.
Fortunately, it was not a quarter of an hour, or about half an hour at most, and the swordsman, who had been standing on the edge of the cliff and staring at the bottom, shouted, "Come up, head them up." ”
Chen Yulou and the others were in high spirits, and they walked to the edge of the cliff to check, and saw that not only Luo Changfeng and the others, but also the partridge whistle brothers who had just gone down not long ago.
I heard the ground on the ladder suddenly shouting: "Hey, pay attention from above, don't touch the stones, do you want to kill us?"
Chen Yulou's face changed, and he immediately shouted: "All stand back." ”
Everyone hurriedly retreated, it turned out that everyone was too excited just now, and walked quickly to the cliff, but accidentally touched some gravel and soil on the cliff.
A few minutes later, all five people came up, and everyone hugged them, Chen Yulou asked what was going on, and Luo Changfeng explained the situation below in great detail.
Chen Yulou's brows furrowed tightly and asked, "Changfeng, according to what you said, how can we eliminate those centipedes and obtain the underground palace artifact?"
Luo Changfeng groaned slightly, and said: "All things in the world are mutually reinforcing and mutually restrictive, if there is a strong one, there must be a system, if you have read the book "Journey to the West", you should know what to use to restrain things like centipedes and scorpions. ”
Listening to Luo Changfeng's words, Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle's eyes lit up together, and Chen Yulou clapped his hands and said, "I know, Pleiades Star Officer." ”
Hearing this, Luo Lao said inexplicably: "What Pleiades Star Official?
Chen Yulou laughed and said: "It's very simple, the so-called Pleiades Star Officer refers to the rooster, yes, the rooster is the nemesis of the centipede's mortal enemy, to get rid of the poisonous centipedes in the dungeon, you only need to find a large number of roosters." ”
Luo Lao Crooked understood now, nodded and said, "Okay, Xiao Yangzi, you immediately take the pistol team and go to the nearby village to buy roosters for me, and get me as many as I want." ”
"Yes. Adjutant Yang answered, and went to arrange for people to buy roosters, and Chen Yulou also instructed Hua Ma to bring a group of unloading wrestlers to help.
Luo Changfeng suddenly looked at Partridge Whistle and said, "Brother Partridge Whistle, have you ever heard of 'Angry Chicken'?"
Chen Yulou and the others looked at Luo Changfeng blankly, not knowing why, but the partridge whistle nodded slowly, and said: "Xiangxi has had the totem of the phoenix bird since ancient times, and the place names are mostly related to the legend of the phoenix in ancient times, just like this county, called Nuqing County, Nuqing is the elephant of the phoenix. ”
"The so-called angry chicken, also called 'Fengming angry chicken', this chicken is larger than ordinary chickens, the comb is blood-red, the feathers are colorful, the beak and claws of the chicken are sharp and sharp, and the eyelids are born from above. ”
"In mythology, the Pleiades star official reports the golden rooster every morning, which is the meaning of distinguishing yin and yang from black and white, and the sound of the angry rooster crowing can break the demonic mirage and drive away ghosts. ”
Chen Yulou and the others were amazed when they heard it, and Luo Changfeng praised: "Brother Partridge Whistle has really seen people, and I admire it." ”
Partridge Whistle smiled, and then asked puzzledly: "Luo put his head and asked the angry chicken, isn't it ......?"
Luo Changfeng bowed slightly, and said to Chen Yulou with a straight face: "I talked to Rong Bao Xiaoxiao last night, and from some of the information he said, I concluded that there is probably a Nuqing chicken in Jinfeng Village. ”
"What? Is this true?" Partridge Whistle was very interested, moving mountains and dividing armor, and was already focused on survival restraint, and many methods were used in unusual beasts and the like.
At this time, when he heard that there was a Angry Chicken nearby, where would he let it go? What's more, if there was a Angry Chicken, the centipede swarm in the dungeon would be easier to solve.
Luo Changfeng said in a deep voice: "It's true, always take the head, let's withdraw to the museum first! Let Rong Bao Yuxiao take Brother Partridge Whistle to find the angry chicken, I'm afraid, only his mountain-moving and armor splitting technique can successfully subdue the angry chicken." ”
Chen Yulou had no objection, and when the group returned to the pavilion the same way, Chen Yulou and Luo Lao were waiting in the pavilion, still letting Kunlun lead the swordsmen of Jieling to protect them.
Luo Changfeng took the red girl, followed the partridge whistle and the old foreigner to Jinfeng Village, and Hua Ling's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he stayed in the museum to rest.
Rong Bao Yu Xiao stayed here all night, and when he saw that he could finally go back, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
In addition, Luo Changfeng carried a large bag of salt, and said that as long as Rong Bao Yuxiao took them to find the old medicine farmer in the village, he would give him the bag of salt, provided that he had to keep it secret for them and not reveal their details, otherwise not only would he not give salt, but he would also slaughter their village.
Chen Yulou's gang is already more than their entire village, and they have guns, if they really want to slaughter the village, they will definitely not be able to stop them.
And just take them to the old medicine farmer, you can get a big bag of salt, and a fool should know how to choose.
Besides, he asked the kinder sister that they were looking for an old medicine farmer just to buy a chicken.
Money is useless in the mountains, there is no place to spend it, and there has always been a barter between the mountain people and the merchants, and the most valuable thing here is table salt.
Salt itself has been regarded by the locals as the most hard-won currency, and there is a saying in the local village, called "three quintals of rice and one catty of salt", which can be said to be a "exchange rate" recognized by the locals.
In the original play, Partridge Whistle didn't know about the existence of the angry chicken, so along the way, he was looking for something that could restrain the poison and dispel the mirage, and he was delayed for a lot of time.
But now that they had a clear goal, they just hurried on their way and soon returned to the stockade.
