My years as a fortune teller

When we were about to exit along the way we came, I always felt that there should be something here.It's just a feeling, and I can't say what it is.When I was about to exit the cave, I looked around.There really seems to be nothing, you can know what to pay attention to.

The teacher saw my thoughts, pulled me and said: "What's the matter with you, little fat man, do you think there is something that we have pulled down here?" I didn't expect the teacher to say a word, and it came to my heart .

I nodded and said to the teacher: "I don't know why, I always feel that there is something we need here. Or there is something crucial here that we haven't noticed. But what it is, I can't tell." Everyone stopped when they heard my words.

I thought for a long time and said: "At the beginning, after the mandrill and I went in, there was a black shadow that passed by my left hand quickly. And I also heard a few sinister laughs, right in this cave. But just now we Since the end, I have found other things." Just after I finished speaking, the mandrill was also dancing and gesticulating.

After the "Fire Eye Dragon King" finished listening, he said to us: "This little beast also said the same thing, and it heard the voice too. It was the black shadow that the little fat man said, but it didn't see it. Why don't we go in and have a look, There might actually be something else."

The teacher shook his head and said: "There is no need. Our purpose of coming this time is to find the curse spell and the method to lift the curse. As for the other things, it is not our purpose this time. Let's continue to move forward and find the statue. Let’s talk again.” I was right when I heard it, and nodded.

"Fire Eye Dragon King" smiled and led us to move forward. Only then did I see clearly that there are really two three holes here.I was shrouded in black mist just now, and I walked into the cave with the "copper corpse" unknowingly.There is a road from this opening next to the place where we captured the mandrill earlier.Not far from the two cave entrances, the road splits in two.

Seeing this, I shook my head. If it wasn't for the black mist, I shouldn't have gone wrong.And at this moment, the sound of rushing water came.

"Fire Eye Dragon King" looked back at us and said, "There is an underground river ahead, half of the river flows forward. Part of it diverts into the river here, and there are many fishes of various colors in it. The taste is also very good! Little fat man, would you like to try it? Early adopters?” As soon as he finished speaking, we all laughed.As long as we go to the water's edge, the old man will introduce us to all kinds of delicious fish.

Seeing that we didn't answer him, he continued to lead the way with a smile.Fatty Liu took out a rusty knife and said to me: "Look, big fat, the knife I touched from under the armor just now. It doesn't look very good, but it's still very sharp after trying it." With a knife dangling in front of my eyes.

I took the knife and looked around, and said to the teacher behind me: "Teacher, this kind of knife is rare. It should be from before the Qin Dynasty, and it must not be from the Han Dynasty. I have seen the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty in the history museum." There is a certain difference between a knife and this."

The teacher smiled and said, "I'm not an expert on this matter. I'm going back to find your archaeological friend. If you can understand these things, you can find the owner of the copper corpse and the giant python." I nodded.

After playing with the copper knife for a while, he handed it to Fatty Liu and said, "Your sneaking skills have improved a lot. Next time you steal something, you must remember to tell me."

As soon as Fatty Liu heard what I said, he blushed and wanted to argue with me.But at this moment, a baby's cry came. "Fire Eye Dragon King" put his fingers in front of his lips, and made a silent motion.Then the cat ran a few steps forward with its waist down, and squatted in a corner.

Seeing his movements, we also learned to tiptoe behind him.At this time, the baby's cries became louder and clearer.But in such a cave, where does the baby cry?

The teacher took a few steps forward lightly, came to the side of the "Flame Dragon King" and said, "Old Loach, where did this baby cry come from? Why is it so scary!"

"Flame Dragon King" said to the teacher: "This is the cry of the red-eyed mermaid. This thing is very fierce. Someone tried to catch it back last time, but one of them got it into the water and never came back. Today it will be like this Call, it seems that we have encountered a natural enemy!"

I was shocked when I heard that there are "mermaids" here.I remember the "Shan Hai Jing. Bei Shan Jing" said: "The water of Jue Jue flows out, while the east flows into the river. Among them, there are many fish, which are shaped like [Yu Di] fish, four-legged, and their voice is like a baby, and they have nothing to eat. Dementia." This passage refers to "mermaid".In fact, it is the giant salamander we are talking about now, also known as the giant salamander.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a Taoist priest named Wei Zhihe, who wrote a book called "Foreign Objects in the Sea" for a while, which also recorded: "Mermaids use red eyes as the top grade. They use ganoderma lucidum, life and other things. They can be used to refine the soul-reviving nine-turn pill. , is a divine product cultivated by the immortal family. However, this fish is hard to find, and the two are extremely fierce. They often feed on tigers, wolves, and monkeys. There are also cannibals..."

The meaning in the book is that among the "mermaids", the red-eyed one is the best, and some Ganoderma lucidum and other things can be refined into the soul-reviving pill.But this fish is hard to find, and it's also very aggressive.In addition to eating some tiger wolves, they will also eat some people for filling.

I have seen a lot of giant salamanders, but I have never seen the red-eyed ones.Giant salamanders generally grow up to one meter long, and are somewhat lizard-like in appearance, only fatter and flatter.Now there is a kind of ornamental frogfish. In fact, its real name is Oriental salamander, not a real salamander.Oriental salamanders can be kept in an aquarium and exposed to sunlight frequently.

Giant salamanders live in streams in mountainous areas, and in caves with clear water, low sand content, turbulent water flow, and return water.Giant salamanders are ferocious and carnivorous by nature, and feed on aquatic insects, fish, crabs, shrimps, frogs, snakes, turtles, rats, and birds.

Giant salamanders generally hide in the crevices of mountain streams, and their caves are located below the water surface.At night, it stays quietly in the stone pile at the beach mouth, and once it finds prey passing by, it will make a surprise attack. Because the teeth in its mouth are sharp and dense, it is difficult for the prey to escape after entering the mouth.Its teeth cannot chew, it just opens its mouth to swallow food whole, and then slowly digests it in its stomach.

I was recalling the prompts in the book when I saw a splash in the water ahead.Then a thing about two meters in length climbed up to the shore and kept making baby noises from its mouth.Then another one climbed up, slightly smaller in size.This one didn't stand still, and three more swished out of the water.

Make no mistake, there is not only a two-meter-long "red-eyed mermaid" here.Instead, there are no more, no less, five, and the smallest one is nearly one meter long.If I hadn't noticed and ran over just now, I might have been taken into my stomach by them.

Fatty Liu gently pulled me, and said in a low voice: "Why are there so many big fat here? They look like crocodiles? There is no road ahead. If we swim through the water, we will become theirs." Food?"

Fatty Liu's words are not wrong, there is indeed no way ahead.This place is also a T-junction, and if you want to go there, you should have to wade.But with so many big guys here, how do we wade through the water?

"Fire Eye Dragon King" turned around and said in a low voice: "Don't talk, let's see what's going on first. We don't need to wade in the water. There is a small road on the left to go up to the place I mentioned. They will all nest now." To dispatch, we should have encountered natural enemies. When they finish fighting, we will go there."

After listening to his words, the teacher said in a low voice: "Old loach, you should have been in this water. Haven't you encountered these things? Or have you been beaten by them and fled, so I'm sorry to mention this?"

"Fire-eyed Dragon King" glared at the teacher and said, "What are you talking about, go and see the scar on the biggest one. It's the souvenir I left for it. It's just that there weren't so many at that time, including the one I killed. That one is at most three."

I was taken aback when I heard it, and hurriedly said: "Master Gou, you actually killed one. How big is that one? How did you kill that one in the end?" I was a little curious about this, so I asked A little more.

"Fire Eye Dragon King" glanced at me, said with a smile, "That one is the biggest one, and it's also a male. F***, I fought in the water for more than half an hour, and finally I cut my belly open with a knife. " Then he looked at me, raised his eyebrows a few times and said, "I carried the dead fish home and ate it for seven or eight days. The deliciousness of the meat is unique."

This old man looks like a typical old foodie!As long as you talk about the ones in the river, I will tell you this is delicious and that is delicious.Doesn't he know that we haven't eaten much?Seriously, I'm still a little hungry now!

I was about to pay him a few words back when I saw all but the smallest one turn around and jump into the river.I can't figure it out, what is this for?Is it just to come up and get some air?Remember the records in the data, they are amphibians!

This small "red-eyed mermaid" on the shore looked around vigilantly.He kept walking back and forth by the river, as if to attract the attention of something, but he looked very scared.To go back and forth is to move out of the water, and it will never go beyond this range.

When I was still wondering about its behavior, suddenly a red belt flew over.The "red-eyed mermaid" rolled up on the shore fell heavily to the ground.Then the tape swished and disappeared without a trace.

I was shocked when I saw this. This red ribbon should be some kind of animal's tongue.I can vaguely feel that the owner of this red ribbon is also famous.But I couldn't be sure for a while, what kind of animal tongue this red ribbon was.

"Fire Eye Dragon King" turned his head and said in a low voice: "The real evil god has come out. Last time I was tricked by this thing and almost died here. I don't know what it is until now. It seems that I should know it this time." .”

When the teacher heard it, he asked in a low voice: "No way, a dignified water dragon king doesn't know what it is. He almost died here? Old loach, if you really can't do it, you can live in another place!" "

"Fire Eye Dragon King" glared at the teacher and said, "What do you know, old man? There are many monsters in this water, especially in the places we come to. Maybe there are thousand-year-old monsters here, and you have no way to guard against them. So Sometimes they meet, and it’s important to save your life as much as possible.” The teacher laughed twice after listening.

This is to see the "red-eyed mermaid" who was knocked unconscious slowly climbed up, shook his head and howled a few times like a baby.Then he turned around and stared at the place where the red ribbon flew just now.

With a whoosh, the red ribbon flew again.Unbiasedly wrapped around the head of the "Red-Eyed Mermaid", and then swung it vigorously.Hearing a few bangs, he dropped the "red-eyed mermaid" three or four times in a row.Immediately, a puddle of blood flowed out from the belly of the "red-eyed mermaid".

And this tape disappeared in a blink of an eye, but at this time there was a "cuckoo" sound from the darkness over there.But it was still not ready to come out, as if it was waiting for something.

After a long time, there is no movement here.The red tape flew out slowly, accurately entangled the "red-eyed mermaid" and was about to pull it back into the darkness.At this moment, several other "red-eyed mermaids" jumped out of the water and bit the red tape...
