16 Traps
Ke'er was stunned, "Use talismans? Are snakes still afraid of talismans?"
"Just try it out." I handed the knife to her, pulled her right hand, pinched her fingers on her right arm, and practiced a snake-driving talisman.
I have never used this snake-driven talisman, but I have seen my second uncle use it. It was when I was in the fifth grade. There were snake disasters in Nanhe Town because of the water coming from the canal. Snakes were everywhere. The people in the north did not dare to kill snakes casually, so the villagers came to beg my second uncle. My second uncle sat in the house without saying a word, and drew hundreds of snake-driven talismans in one breath. Those who came saw it had a share. Those who took the talisman and left with great gratitude.
That night, he also sent a dish to his grandfather and posted it on the east wall of the ancestral house.
As a result, I didn't have much effort, so I saw more than a dozen snakes of all sizes rushing to escape from our yard.
Overnight, there was no snake in the entire Nanhe Town.
Later, my grandfather taught me the snake-repelling talisman, but I never had the chance to use it. This time, I finally had the opportunity to experiment.
"You try to go forward," I said to Keer, "I'll follow you."
"Okay!" Ke'er put the knife back to his waist and continued to walk forward.
The snakes on both sides seemed to be frightened, quickly emerged from the cracks of the rocks, the grass, and under the ground, rushing to escape.
Ke'er's eyes lit up and looked at me, "Young Master! It really works!"
I feel relieved, "Okay, then let's go."
"Yeah!" she nodded.
We speed up and move forward.
With the snake-driven talisman, we walked faster and faster, as if we entered a snake-free land. In just over twenty minutes, we passed through Area B safely and arrived in front of a stone bridge.
The stone gate is the junction of Area A and Area B, and the stone bridge is the junction of Area B and Area C. There are rocks on this side of the bridge, and there is thick fog on the other side of the bridge.
Ke'er looked at the thick fog over there and asked me, "Master, this fog is so big, let's go in directly?"
I thought about it and pressed the call button, "Xiaojun."
"Wu Zheng, I'm here," Xiaojun said.
"We are about to enter Area C," I said, "Remember what I told you last night. Be sure to calm down. I will do the inside and leave it to you outside."
"Okay", Xiaojun paused, "You must be careful and wait for you to come back."
"Yes", I let go of the button, ended the call, and took a deep breath.
"Young Master, are you okay?" Ke'er asked in a low voice.
"Let's go", I said lightly.
"Okay", she nodded.
We walked through the stone bridge and walked into the thick fog in Area C.
The ground in Area C is paved with stone slabs. Although it is bumpy and overgrown with weeds, it is quite neat compared to Area A and Area B. It’s just that the fog here is too big and the visibility is less than three meters. In this case, let alone saving people, it is difficult for you to be lost.
After walking a few hundred meters forward, I stopped.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Ke'er asked.
"Do you feel the talisman on your arm?" I asked her.
"Yes, warm," she said, "very comfortable."
"Turn internal energy and turn the talisman from the right arm to the left hand", I told her.
"Okay!" She hung the mountaineering shovel onto the belt around her waist, stretched out her hands, and focused slightly. The snake-driving talisman on her right forearm turned into a faint golden light, which quickly passed through her back and flowed into her left hand's heart.
I pointed to my right forearm and said, "Come on, let me go."
"Yes," she pressed my forearm with her hand, and the snake-driving talisman immediately hit my right arm.
I concentrated on my mind and felt no discomfort, and then I felt relieved.
"Young Master, this is..." She was puzzled.
I smiled at her, "There's a way."
"What's the solution?" she asked.
I grabbed her right hand, pinched my fingers and practiced a phoenix-eyed talisman, and pressed it into her eyebrows.
Keer suddenly shuddered, looked around, and said in surprise, "Young Master, I can see it! I'll go! It's so clear!"
"Don't be excited for now," I said, "Transfer this talisman to me like I did just now."
"Oh, OK!" She nodded quickly, calmed down, and instantly turned the phoenix eye talisman to the left palm, and then pressed it on my eyebrows.
My eyebrows heated up, my body trembled, I opened my eyes suddenly, and looked around, all the fog disappeared. I saw a towering ancient tree with broken walls and ruins in the distance, and behind the woods, a tall ruin of the temple was revealed...
I could see clearly that around the ruins, the demonic energy surged into the sky.
I then pinched my fingers, practiced another phoenix-eyed talisman, and pressed it into Ke'er's eyebrows.
Keer shuddered again and then asked me, "Young Master, what kind of talisman is this? Why is it so powerful?"
"This is called the Phoenix Eye Talisman, also called the Tianmin Talisman, which can see the clouds and mist, and the night is like the daytime." I said, "It's just that my own Talisman can't be used directly, otherwise it will be backlash. So I will first cultivate the Talisman on you, and after the transformation of your Five Thunder Qi, and then use it on me, it doesn't matter."
"So that's what it is..." Ke'er understood, "No wonder you wanted to try it first..."
"My grandfather has taught me a lot of talismans, but most of them have never been used," I said, "So I don't know how powerful this phoenix-eye talisman can be. Before I came, I was thinking about using the talisman to you and let you be my eyes. I had an idea just now, and I thought of the five thunder aura on your body, but I didn't expect that it was really OK."
Ke'er laughed, "Yeah!"
She turned around and looked at the ruins behind the woods in the distance and asked me, "Young Master, is that the temple of Xiaoyu King City?"
"Yes, the scientific expedition team is in the underground palace of the temple," I said.
"What is that black gas?" she asked.
"It's a demonic energy," I said, "There are great Feng Shui arrays in the woods. The scientific expedition team got lost when they came in and got lost. It was caused by those Feng Shui arrays."
"What should we do?" She looked at me.
"With the phoenix-eyed talisman, the formation has little effect on us." I pulled her right hand and pinched her fingers to practice another snake-driven talisman on her forearm, "Let's go in first and act according to the opportunity."
"Okay!" she nodded.
"Let's go", I took the lead and turned around and walked towards the woods.
Keer followed closely.
Soon, we walked into the woods, and a smell of decaying leaves rushing towards us.
At the same time, there was a sharp aura.
I stopped, reached out to stop Keer, and carefully experienced this aura.
This is a kind of seal barrier, which is very sharp, and can seal monsters and confuse people's spiritual consciousness.
I experienced it with meditation for more than ten seconds, and after confirming that our consciousness was not affected, I continued to move forward.
Several snakes strung on the branches escaped, and a rustling sound came from the fallen leaves on the ground.
We walked carefully between broken walls and towering ancient trees. The more we walked, the more the scent of corruption became heavier and the light became darker. In the end, the lush leaves blocked the sunshine, and the road ahead became dim. We seemed to have traveled through time and space and entered a lost world.
Fortunately, there is a phoenix-eyed talisman, so we still see it very clearly.
Suddenly, Ke'er discovered something and pulled my clothes, "Young Master, look over there!"
I turned my head and looked in the direction she pointed. Under a huge rock, there were more than a dozen windbreakers and some bags. The clothes were stacked neatly, and in such an environment, it was extremely strange.
"Go and take a look," I said.
"Okay!" She pulled out the knife.
We came under the boulder and looked carefully at the windbreaker suits, a total of sixteen pieces, with radios on them and their bags next to them.
"No wonder the radio is connected, but the positioning fails." Ke'er looked at me, "The positioning system and the physiological monitoring system are integrated, and they are all worn in close-fitting. It's so good, why do they take off their jackets?"
I picked up a windbreaker and looked at it, shook my head, "They were bewitched by the demon."
"If the demons want to catch people, they don't have to take off their clothes?" she was puzzled.
"They were intentional..." I said lightly.
"Does it intentionally?" Ke'er pondered for a moment and suddenly understood, "They need to catch people, but there are not enough people, so they deliberately leave the radio here, so the command center will send people in to search and rescue, and they can wait for the rabbit and wait for their hard work!"
"You're right," I put down my windbreaker, stood up, and looked around, "This is a trap..."
Before he finished speaking, a dozen black shadows flew out from the depths of the woods and rushed over, surrounding us in an instant.
Chapter completed!
