Copper Coins

Could it be that the undead poisonous insects climbed up the stone steps?

He lowered his head and looked around his feet, but he didn't see anything crawling, and the very slight sound stopped suddenly, as if he knew he was looking for it.

Xue Xian frowned and glanced at the stone steps going down, and suddenly noticed something strange: "According to our cooking method, there are always some fish that slip through the net, there are tens of thousands of poisonous insects underground, how can the above It’s so clean that you can’t even see a bug corpse? If those centipedes struggled to climb a hundred stone steps, wouldn’t there be moths and ants with wings, why didn’t any of them come up?”

Xuan Min was looking at those characters with a serious and calm expression, his eyes moved slowly along those strange symbols one by one, as if he could really understand the content.Without turning his head, he said, "Maybe he didn't dare to come up."

This guess is exactly what Xue Xian thought of going together. The upper stone room obviously doesn't even have a door to cover it, and there are only a hundred stone steps from the lower stone path, but they are as distinct as two worlds, with a mountain of insects and a sea of ​​insects. Not even a tentacle was seen on one side.

The only explanation that can be thought of is that the poisonous insects are afraid of this place, even if there is no shelter, they dare not cross the boundary.

The spiders with the same lifespan and the spiders with the same lifespan, together with the traces of spider webs on the stone steps, Xue Xian naturally understood what those poisonous insects were afraid of, and the things making movements at his feet naturally had clues.

Perhaps it was because Xue Xian hadn't moved for a long time, and the things at his feet became more courageous after the cautious period.

The sound it made was really tiny, if it wasn't for Xue Xian's extraordinary hearing, he might not have heard it at all.Xue Xian put his elbows on his knees, listened casually for a while, and accurately identified where the sound was, then simply stretched out his fingers and pressed it.

He didn't use too much force, after all, if it was really what he was looking for, with the strength of his hand, he would be killed if he accidentally pressed it.

As expected, there was a small bead-like thing under the fingertips, smooth and brittle, as if the shell would be crushed with a slight movement.Xue Xian remembered the sound of balls rolling to the ground when he escaped from the inner demons in the basement of the bamboo building. His eyes moved, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "I grabbed a good thing."

Because he seldom encounters something truly threatening in his life, Xue Xian's vigilance can never be compared with that of ordinary people. Poisons can hardly poison him, and even fierce things can hardly hurt him. It's too fast.

The so-called frequent walks along the river would never get your shoes wet, and just as he finished what he said to Xuan Min, the ending sound was still lingering in the stone room, when the bead-like thing under his finger suddenly fought back.

Xue Xian only felt that his fingertips were suddenly pricked by something, and the blood was sucked out quite vividly. At the same time, the brittle bead also slowly swelled up, and after just one bite, it became bigger than before. full circle.

Immediately afterwards, another liquid was sent under the flesh along the same path.

If it weren't for the fact that this thing is hard to find and fragile, Xue Xian would have let it die the moment he was stabbed, but this thing is still a bit expensive, so Xue Xian could only roll his eyes and put a cold face on it. The thing picked up from the ground.

As soon as Xuan Min turned his head, he saw Xue Xian struggling with something in his hand, and he opened his mouth to ask, "What are you grabbing? A spider?"

"En." Xue Xian responded, while moving the slippery ball from his fingers to the palm of his hand with great difficulty. In order to prevent the opponent from slipping out of his hand due to his round body, he had to imprison it .

Moving it to the palm of his hand, he took a closer look at it by the light of the fire, only to find that this brittle thing that seemed to break when touched was really a spider, with a complete head and belly, quite a few of the eight legs, and a scarf on the side. Row of fluffy spines.

The reason why I couldn't see it before was because the spider's color and pattern were almost the same as the stone ground. If it lay motionless on the ground, even if the people next to it were blinded, it would be difficult to tell where it was.

And since it fell into Xue Xian's palm, its leather shell gradually faded as if it was fading. In just a moment, it almost merged with Xue Xian's palm.The skill of this deception is really amazing.

Xuan Min over there also asked casually, but he didn't expect that he really caught it. He was stunned for a moment, strode over and asked, "Is it really a spider? Be careful, don't be bitten by it—"

He hadn't finished speaking when he saw that Xue Xian's finger holding his palm had turned blue-black, spreading from the fingertips all the way up, reaching his wrist in the blink of an eye.

That's really ugly, the whole hand looks like it's been scorched by fire and then poured with a layer of vegetable juice, it looks like a silky chicken's claw.

Seeing him approaching, Xue Xian raised his face innocently and helplessly, and laughed dryly, "It's a little bit late."

Xuan Min: "..."

"Hiss—" Xue Xian subconsciously took a breath.

Xuan Min frowned as soon as he heard it, and wanted to touch his hand, and took the poisonous thing that would bite, "It hurts?"

"That's not true." Xue Xian's expression showed a sense of collapse, and while rubbing his ring finger and little finger in a disorderly manner, he moved away from Xuan Min's hand and said, "This thing is very slippery." , It's hard to grasp, don't let you take it, it's already bitten. Just do me a favor, I can't move, this bitten hand is going crazy, scratch it for me, quickly..."

Xuan Min: "..."

Itching is really a terrible thing, much more unbearable than pain.

This spider that suffered from a thousand knives is really poisonous. Just injecting a little venom into Xue Xian's fingertips, his entire arm was stained green, and there was a tendency to spread to his shoulders and neck. It looks good.

The kind of itching that rises from the blood makes people feel at a loss and panic, but anyone with a little less endurance may be rolling on the ground with tears at this moment. It is not an exaggeration to say "life is better than death" .

Xue Xian frowned, his feet felt a little fluttering, and because of holding back, the bottom of his eyes became hot, and a layer of water mist formed.He raised his foot and took a step towards Xuan Min, wanting to urge Xuan Min to help, but when the sole of his shoe touched the ground, he staggered forward as if he was not stepping on it.

Seeing that he couldn't even stand upright, Xuan Min immediately picked him up and strode to the edge of the stone platform before putting him down.He tried to make the itchy Xue Xian let go of his hands, but this ancestor's pair of dragon claws were harder to break than anyone else, so he insisted on killing the spider circle in his hands.

Xue Xian leaned against the stone wall and sat on the stone platform, crookedly unable to straighten up, and said to Xuan Min: "Hurry up, scratch it twice, hold hands."

Dragon's blood should be able to detoxify, so most of the poisons would not have much effect on Xue Xian. At most, the wound would burn and swell or turn purple and black in an instant, but it would be healed almost in an instant.

The current situation is enough to show how poisonous the spider's poison is. Xue Xianye couldn't bear it, and it was even more difficult to imagine what kind of embarrassment an ordinary person would be in if he got a trick.

Of course, Xuan Min couldn't really reach out and scratch without any scruples, because some poisons are more severe the more they scratch.He took a look at Xue Xianman's bruises down to his shoulders, took out two paper talismans, and immediately scratched his finger on one of them to draw a dragon snake.

He slapped the blood-stained paper talisman on Xue Xian's neck, and the ever-spreading blue-black color immediately stopped in front of the paper talisman.

He took another photo on the back of Xue Xian's silky claw-like claws, and then lightly squeezed Xue Xian's chin, making him turn his face to the left.The muscles and bones extending from the neck to the shoulders were stretched by this movement.

Xuan Min lowered his eyes, pushed Xue Xian's right side of the skirt a little, put his two fingers together, paused for a while, and finally landed on the skin of Xue Xian's neck, and he measured it with his two fingers. After a while, he pressed his thumb a little below Xue Xian's collarbone, and then untied the copper coin. While coiling the edge of the coin, he pressed a force into his skin.

Xue Xian tilted his head and exhaled lightly.

While that force is pressing into the acupoints, it seems that there is a spring slowly spreading along the meridians, smoothing every skin and flesh that is charged with fire due to toxicity.The itching feeling of scratching the heart and lungs disappeared halfway, and the remaining half was gradually melted by the dragon's blood, and disappeared little by little.

Xue Xian lazily leaned against the stone wall, and when Xuan Min straightened his body, he rubbed the back of his hand with the last bit of itching on Xuan Min's hand, then retracted his hand, raised his chin at the stone wall beside him, and asked: "You looked at it for a long time, did you see something famous? The thing in my hand is the legendary same life spider?"

He was bitten by the orb spider once, so he naturally learned his lesson, changed the angle of pinching it, and showed Xuan Min a look at the thing in his palm.

Only this time, the orb spider has changed from before - its color is still very similar to the color of Xue Xian's palm skin, but there is an extra line of blood on the round abdomen.

Xuan Min frowned, looked at Xue Xian solemnly, and said, "Did it suck your blood?"

Xue Xian rubbed his hands together, and said dryly, "When it bit me, it drank a mouthful of my blood, and then spat it back to me with a mouthful of poisonous juice. Reciprocity."

Xuan Min: "..."

"Then did you really talk about the same life spider?" Xue Xian pouted at the piece of characters on the stone wall and asked, "What did you say? Where did this thing come from? Why couldn't I find it before? There are too many What is the meaning of a blood line, could it be that they have the same life span?"

He asked several questions in succession, then paused, and finally asked another question that lingered in his heart for a while: "These characters are very difficult to recognize, and I have never seen them in my life for so many years. What do you think?" understandable?"
