Capítulo 122

"Little Momo, do you know that even sorcerers can be harmed by their own sorcery?" Elder Song asked with concern.

Mo Mo shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

"A sorcerer with insufficient skill is very likely to lose their power as a result, or even lose their life. Even if a sorcerer has profound skill, nine times out of ten they will suffer great damage to their vital energy due to the backlash. They must find a secluded place to heal their wounds in order to escape the calamity of losing their power," Elder Song patiently explained.

"What is meant by 'the tribulation that breaks one's power'?" Mo Mo asked, puzzled.

Elder Song smiled slightly and explained, "You saw it last night. Tong Ta Ya's 'Five Poison Gu Worms' were killed by your Great Blood Flea. Immediately afterward, the poisonous warts on his face burst open, and he died. His body is still in the cabin. This is the backlash of the black magic, the tribulation of breaking the spell."

Mo Mo recalled the terrifying appearance of the white-robed sorcerer who held the strange insect in his palm as he died, and felt a wave of fear wash over her.

“Therefore,” Elder Song continued, “as your senior uncle, I have a responsibility to prevent you from being devoured by the Blood Flea and ultimately losing your power and dying.”

“The blood flea wouldn’t do that,” Momo retorted in a shrill voice.

"Child, it's better to be safe than sorry. Here's what we'll do..." Elder Song said seriously, "Tell your martial uncle about the secret techniques of 'Blood Curse' and 'Yin Appearance Man,' and see if there's anything we should be wary of, okay?"

Mo Mo looked at Elder Song with a puzzled expression, thought for a moment and said, "How do I know that you must be Master Bing's junior brother?"

Elder Song spread his hands, looking very aggrieved, and said, "You've seen the photos, how could they not be true?"

Mo Mo thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "What if you found Master Bing's photo?"

Elder Song thought to himself, "This little girl is quite shrewd. In Thailand, almost every sorcerer has a picture of Mong La Cha Wong Bing, as if this number one sorcerer in Southeast Asia is protecting them. It's just like in China a few years ago, almost everyone wore Chairman Mao badges. The principle is the same."

"Little Mo Mo, if you don't believe your martial uncle, this elder will be angry." Elder Song, having run out of tricks, simply put on a show.

"I don't want to be on the boat. If you're my martial uncle, stop at the shore. I'll tell you after my mother and I get ashore..." Mo Mo said slyly, her eyes darting around.

Elder Song sighed deeply. This little girl was too difficult to deal with. It seemed that he would have to use other means to force her to submit. So, he put away the photo and went back to the cabin.

"Kongsa, no, this girl is too shrewd. If being gentle doesn't work, she'll just have to resort to force," Elder Song said indignantly.

“But her big blood flea is really fierce; if it stings us, we’ll be in big trouble…” Kongsa replied with lingering fear.

"Hehe," Elder Song said confidently, "didn't we bring a few bottles of high-efficiency mosquito repellent oil?"

Upon hearing this, Kongsa suddenly realized, "That's right, how could I forget? The smell of that oil can repel all mosquitoes, fleas, and leeches..." After saying that, he quickly took out two bottles from his handbag, unscrewed the caps, and the two of them immediately applied a thick layer of mosquito repellent oil to their heads, faces, and bodies.

"And this too." Elder Song chuckled sinisterly, casually taking a canister of carbon dioxide foam fire extinguisher from the cabin wall. "The giant blood flea will definitely get stuck in that foam and won't be able to jump around anymore, hahaha..."

The two then opened a willow-leaf briefcase filled with bamboo tubes of various sizes. One by one, they uncorked them and poured out all sorts of colorful poisonous insects, including green bamboo vipers, spotted scorpions, black widow spiders, giant toads, and giant leeches, among other venomous creatures. At the same time, they chanted incantations, driving them to crawl out of the cabin and march off towards Mo Mo in a mighty procession…

At this moment, on the bow deck, Mo Mo, embracing her ancestor, leaned against the ship's railing, gazing at the vast river. Her thoughts drifted back to the bamboo house in Ganbaidi Village… If the ghost infant knew that she and her mother were on the ship, no matter how far the journey, he would definitely come to rescue Mo Mo. Just like long, long ago, when they were pulled into the air by a Himalayan eagle, the ghost infant Chen Cai clung tightly to her, flying fearfully over countless mountains, rivers, and green forests… A smile appeared on Mo Mo's face.

Just then, a rustling sound came from the deck of the ship. Mo Mo looked up and was immediately startled. A large group of poisonous insects crawled out of the hatch, including green snakes, flower scorpions, black spiders, toads, and some other insects she couldn't name. Among them was a red leech the size of a chopstick, which was slithering towards her.

Mo Mo hurriedly opened her mouth, mentally urging the giant blood flea to fight off the enemy, but felt her throat move twice without moving. It turned out that the giant blood flea had taken to riding on phlegm to fight, preferring to wait in her mouth.

The giant toad hopped right in front of her in a few quick leaps. Momo couldn't wait any longer and spat out a mouthful of venomous phlegm. The giant blood flea was overjoyed and quickly flipped over to mount it, bursting out of its mouth with a deep and experienced gaze, its whip bristles fluttering as it raised its mandibles to stab at the toad covered in venom glands.

The toad caught sight of something approaching and swiftly extended its long tongue to coil around the large blood flea. However, the scarlet blood flea reacted even faster, leaping into the air with a kick of its hind legs. With a "snap," the toad's tongue caught the pale green phlegm and swallowed it, but it immediately felt a wave of dizziness.

With a "plop," the giant blood flea's sharp mandibles pierced the toad's head, releasing a "blood curse." The toad's eyes rolled back, and it instantly slumped to the ground. As the giant blood flea pulled out its mandibles and sprang to its feet, it was horrified to see that venomous insects such as snakes, scorpions, and spiders had already aggressively surrounded its master... The giant blood flea was very experienced in combat; it turned its mandibles around and "hiss..." spat out a cloud of red "blood mist," enveloping the swarm of venomous insects.

This 'blood mist' was composed of countless tiny blood fleas, which swarmed over the poisonous insects, biting them frantically and engaging in a chaotic battle.

Just then, Elder Song and Kong Sa appeared at the hatch, holding fire extinguishers upside down. With a "poof," the aluminum sulfate and sodium bicarbonate solutions inside the cylinder reacted chemically, and a stream of white carbon dioxide gas foam shot out of the nozzle, spraying directly at the giant blood flea. The giant blood flea had never seen such a strange thing before and, unaware of its power, bravely jumped up and plunged headfirst through the foam... Unexpectedly, the foam contained a large amount of water, instantly trapping it inside, making it unable to jump any further.

The flea, in a panic, sent a distress signal to its owner...

Mo Mo was immediately alarmed. Holding the ancestor in her arms, she floated away sideways and swiftly grabbed the large blood flea from the white foam, stuffing it back into her mouth.

Elder Song continued spraying large amounts of foam, enveloping Mo Mo. The foam cut off the air, making it difficult for Mo Mo to breathe, causing severe suffocation in her lungs. She hurriedly retreated, but unexpectedly slipped, tilted her body, and, holding the ancestor, tumbled off the ship's side into the surging Enmai River. With a splash, she struggled for a couple of moments before sinking to the bottom of the river…

Chapter 186

"Meow..." When the big black cat "Xiao Cui'er" saw Mo Mo fall into the water, she bravely jumped into the Enmai River.

Cats' ancestors were all excellent swimmers, likely because the harsh natural environment of ancient times required them to dive into water to catch fish. Later, as they were domesticated by humans, specifically for hunting mice and receiving food through handouts, their swimming skills gradually atrophied, transforming them into the gluttonous and lazy domestic cats. However, true wild cats can still swim, such as the Turkish Van, the South Sea Flathead cat, and a type of fishing cat that excels at diving and catching fish underwater.

"Little Cui'er" is a spirit cat from Guanzhong, with excellent swimming skills. She desperately dived into the turbulent river, anxiously searching for Mo Mo, but the river water was extremely murky, and she could not see anything.

Elder Song and Kong Sa were dumbfounded. They hurriedly dropped their fire extinguishers and rushed onto the gunwale, but all they could see was the raging river; the little girl was nowhere to be seen...

Elder Song was extremely frustrated, repeatedly beating his chest and stamping his feet, sighing repeatedly, as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had been lost.

He ordered the motorboat to slowly drift downstream with the current, his eyes fixed on the river surface, searching for a miracle to bring the little girl to the surface, but nothing came.

The fog on the Enmai River gradually dissipated, and a wooden boat came towards them from afar. Han Sheng stood on the bow of the boat, opened his eyes wide, and saw clearly that the people on the motorboat were Elder Song and Kong Sa and others.

"They're over there, we've finally caught up..." Han Sheng pointed and said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed to the side of the boat, gazing at the motorized sailboat in the distance.

"I...I'll go take a look." Dudu flapped its wings and flew into the sky, rushing towards the ship, anxiously calling out, "Mo...Mo Mo, don't be afraid, Dudu is ing."

Dudu hovered above the motorboat. Wait, where's Momo?

The two ships quickly approached, and Han Sheng shouted loudly, "Elder Song, quickly hand over the old grandmother!"

Amin brandished his carbine, firing a burst of bullets into the air, and shouted in Burmese, "Stop the boat, or I'll shoot!"

As soon as the gunshot rang out, the boat owner, Yan Tong, who was an old hand at waterways and familiar with the rules of the trade, didn't want to cause trouble. He immediately and obediently dropped anchor and moored the motorboat in the middle of the river.

Amin threw over a rope, which Mingyan tied to the side of the boat, bringing the two boats together. Hansheng and the Hakka nanny then leaped over.

"Mo Mo..." Han Sheng called out loudly.

Amin Ping pointed his carbine at Elder Song and the others, and said sternly in Burmese, "Elder Song, aren't you going to hand over the person right now?"

With tears welling in his eyes and utterly heartbroken, Elder Song said, "The little girl has fallen into the river..."

"What!" Han Sheng exclaimed in shock.

"The little girl slipped into the river by herself," Kongsa explained from the side.

"Nonsense!" Upon hearing that Mo Mo had fallen into the river, Shen Caihua's hair stood on end, his pupils turned bloodshot, and he roared as he rushed onto the motorboat, bursting into the cabin to search for her. "Mo Mo..." he called out repeatedly.

Jia Shiming stepped forward, stared at Elder Song, and said coldly, "How did you abduct the old lady?"

Amin translated it.

Elder Song then told the truth: "I used the 'Flying Head Slash' to drag the 'Wild Man Mountain Demon' out of the window, and the little girl chased after it herself."

"Why did you do this?" Jia Shiming asked, his face grim.

“That ‘Old Demon of Savage Mountain’ is a ‘Yin-type person.’ That was the unique secret technique of Elder Fang during the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It has been lost in Siam for more than three hundred years…” Elder Song sighed with deep emotion.

Jia Shiming understood. This group of sorcerers had come for the patriarch, but now they had killed the mother and daughter. "Aming, give me the gun," he said calmly.

Amin tossed the carbine to Jashimin.

"Alas, I never needed a weapon to kill people before..." Jia Shiming let out a long sigh, pointing his gun at Elder Song.

"Kill...kill him, avenge...avenge Momo!" Dudu cried out angrily, flapping its wings in mid-air.

"Hold your gun..." an old voice sounded from behind.

Jia Shiming turned around and saw Elder Anxi. He asked in confusion, "Elder, do you have something to say?"

Supported by Elder Peng, Elder Anxi stood at the bow of the wooden boat and said tremblingly, "Master Jia, Buddha Tonpa Shenrab once admonished the world, 'The ultimate truth is without birth, the mundane is without death, subdue wrong views, and lead to liberation...' He spoke of great compassion without bias, extending to all places. According to this old monk, since they have already killed a sorcerer named Tongtaya, thus atoning for their sins, there should be no more killing. May Elder Song and the others be able to remove obstacles and calamities, extinguish evil desires in their hearts, and be freed from the suffering of this life and the next..."

"Master Jia, Elder Anxi is absolutely right. Elder Song wanted to obtain the lost secret technique, so he did not intend to harm the old lady and her daughter. Therefore, let's spare their lives and allow them to repent and reform." Han Sheng said, suppressing the pain in his heart.

"Alas..." Jia Shiming looked up at the sky, let out a long, mournful howl, and slowly lowered the muzzle of his gun.

Inside the cabin, venomous snakes, scorpions, spiders, leeches, and other poisonous insects lay scattered on the floor, their bodies convulsing and trembling. Some were already dead. This was the aftermath of a fierce battle with the blood fleas. Apart from this, Mo Mo was nowhere to be found.

"Spiritual fetus, spiritual fetus, didn't you say Mo Mo was here?" Chen Caihua took out the sleeping spiritual fetus and shook it vigorously while asking anxiously.

The spirit embryo slowly opened its eyes, yawned, and pointed directly downwards with its tiny hand...

"You mean in the water!" Shen Caihua asked in astonishment.

The spirit fetus nodded, then closed its eyes and began to snore softly.

Shen Caihua was stunned. Tears welled up in his eyes. He walked slowly onto the deck, gazing at the vast expanse of white river water. He silently chanted a spell, "Beast, otter, offer macaque, badger, mongoose, slug, slug..." He inserted two little fingers into his nostrils and cried out in anguish to the venomous creature...

Han Sheng and the others watched him silently, none of them uttering a word.

After a long while, a series of small bubbles gradually appeared on the surface of the river, and a flat, mat-like, greenish-white object slowly rose from the bottom of the water...

"The suction tube!" Shen Caihua cried out with tears in his eyes.

The suction tube's round eyes emerged from the water, gazing at its little master with delight. It blinked vigorously, then with a "splash," it burst out of the river, leaping onto the deck, dripping wet, and embracing Shen Caihua.

Overjoyed, Shen Cai didn't care about getting his clothes wet and hurriedly sent out his thoughts...

The suction cup paused for a moment, then blinked, released its little owner, flipped over and jumped into the water. The green fur on its back flashed, and it quickly submerged and disappeared.

Elder Song, Kongsa, Yantong, and the others were all astonished and speechless.

At this moment, the river water rippled again, and with a series of splashing sounds, a group of eight brown-haired monsters resembling monkeys suddenly emerged from the river and stood side by side in front of Shen Caihua, dripping wet.

“Master, you are calling us…” the old kappa asked telepathically with delight.

Upon hearing this, Shen Caihua almost burst into tears, and hurriedly responded with his mind: "Mo Mo has fallen into the river, you must go find her!"

"Yes, Master," the old kappa replied, and immediately summoned his wife and six sons to set out.

"Ah! My woman..." Kappa Lao Liu eagerly plunged into the Enmai River.

The kappa jumped into the river and disappeared in an instant.

This time, Elder Song and the others were even more shocked, and they were all dumbfounded.

Beneath the surface of the river, currents surged. As soon as Mo Mo fell into the water, she was immediately dragged into the dark, cold riverbed by a whirlpool. At this moment, the oxygen in her lungs had been exhausted, and she was suffocating and unable to breathe. She struggled to surface, but the powerful suction of the whirlpool made it impossible for her to move an inch.

Mo Mo still held her mother tightly in her arms, her brain slowly going numb from lack of oxygen. "I'm probably going to die..." she thought desperately.

Just as Mo Mo was about to faint, a strange image suddenly appeared in her mind: an old monk with sunken eyes and a protruding nose was sitting cross-legged in a cave, meditating facing a stone wall...

She subconsciously sat cross-legged at the bottom of the vortex, holding her mother in her arms. A warm current flowed quietly through her meridians, and her heartbeat gradually slowed down to the extreme. At this moment, Mo Mo did not feel suffocated anymore, and her mind gradually became clear... She did not know that this was the second move of the Five Forms of Bodhidharma, "Nine Years of Facing the Wall".

Although she couldn't float to the surface, she wouldn't drown anytime soon either. Mo Mo calmed down a little, but how could she break through the powerful suction of the whirlpool and return to the surface? She racked her brains for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution. At this moment, Mo Mo finally realized that she was trapped and dying at the bottom of the Enmai River.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Mo vaguely heard a strange sound of flowing water rushing towards her... Her eyes widened, and through the dim river water, she suddenly saw a huge catfish, its cold eyes staring intently at her...

It was a giant Mekong catfish (scientific name: Pangasianodon gigas), the world's largest freshwater fish, weighing up to 300 kilograms. It usually lives only in Mekong River countries such as Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. It is extremely fond of eating people. Rarely, it has been found in the N'Mai Hka River and the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar.

Mo Mo was instantly terrified and hurriedly swung her arms, using the "Severed Arm Standing in the Snow" technique underwater. Several faint arm shadows slammed towards the giant catfish. With a few "thumps," the Mekong giant catfish shook its head, seemingly unaware, and slowly opened its huge mouth, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and charged straight at her.

Just then, a huge "mat" suddenly descended from above, enveloping Momo and the old ancestor. They rolled around several times along the riverbed and rushed out of the whirlpool. Then, with a "whoosh," they leaped straight out of the water, creating a large splash.

"Meow..." The anxious black cat "Little Cui'er" on the river surface caught sight of the suddenly rising column of water in the distance and quickly swam over.

Underwater, the Mekong giant catfish suddenly turned around and followed closely behind.
