Eighty-three, moonlit night
It was getting late, and everyone ate some of the dry food they had brought with them, and then they rested. Han Yiming was also very tired, and leaned on a big stone and fainted. I didn't know how long I slept, my head tightened, and then my scalp hurt, and I don't know who grabbed his hair and pulled it left and right. I woke up in shock, but I saw that under the faint moonlight, the senior brothers were sleeping peacefully, and when I looked back, there was no one on the big rock on my back.
He waited for a while, but there was no movement, after all, he was tired from walking all day, closed his eyes and fell asleep. He didn't know that he had slept for a long time, and he didn't know who came to him again, pinched his face hard, and pulled his ears out of pain. Han Yiming woke up in shock, opened his eyes, and saw a black shadow flashing, and he had already run away. He ran so fast that Han Yiming didn't even know how he jumped up from his side and ran away. I woke up in shock, and my sleepiness disappeared, and I glanced at the place where the Pingbo Daoist and his disciples were resting opposite, and saw a few disciples of the Pingbo Daoist around the small fire, looking around, and after looking for a while, I saw the Pingbo Daoist sitting under a pine tree, sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed, and not moving.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement, so I slowly relaxed and closed my eyes. Not long after, someone scratched on him, and when he opened his eyes, there was another black shadow, which disappeared in a flash. I didn't dare to sleep anymore, so I reached out and took the Mingyuan Sword on my back and held it in my hand to strengthen my courage, sat up straight, and looked around with my eyes open. After looking at it for a while, he didn't see any movement there, and then he leaned back on the stone.
Suddenly, it seemed as if a hand came from behind and was digging under his side. Han Yiming was itchy and startled, couldn't help but let out an "ah" and jumped up. Du Qingfeng, who was only three feet away from him, woke up in shock, looked around, and everyone was also awakened by him. Huang Jingxuan also came over and asked, "Yiming, what's wrong?" Han Yiming was quite embarrassed when he saw that he had alarmed everyone, and said, "Uncle Shi, I don't know who it is, I always make trouble with me, so I can't sleep." Huang Jingxuan let out an "oh" and said, "What do you see?"
Han Yiming thought for a while and shook his head: "There was only a black shadow, and I didn't see anything else." Huang Jingxuan said: "Okay, you go back to sleep, it's okay." Then he turned and left. Han Yiming was inexplicable, looked around, and saw that everyone scattered and went back to sit down, and after a while, he fell asleep again. Han Yiming looked back at the big stone behind him, and touched it with his hand, it was indeed a big stone, not a living thing, so he put his mind at ease, but he still sat farther away. Although he was tired, he didn't dare to sleep anymore, but he just closed his eyes.
After a while, someone scratched two more fingers on his feet, and his nails were sharp, and the scratch hurt him. Han Yiming opened his eyes and saw that a small black shadow was squatting at his feet, and at this time, it flashed towards the forest quickly, incredibly fast. Suddenly, a blue light, out of nowhere, flew a long sword, faster than the black shadow I don't know how many times, quickly swept in front of Han Yiming, "brush", erected in front of the black shadow.
The black shadow let out a "wow", like a child crying, and turned to the side and flashed. It was fast, the sword was faster, and in an instant it had become two, one still in place, and the other with it. In the blink of an eye, the two swords became four, and then eight, sealing the black shadow tightly on all sides.
The black shadow shouted "wow" twice, and then squatted down, Han Yiming could see clearly that his legs had been drilled into the ground. All the disciples of the Spirit Mountain here jumped up and were about to surround them. Suddenly, a flower appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and Huang Jingxuan and Zhao Haoyang had appeared in front of everyone. Huang Jingxuan stretched out his hand, his palm disappeared, and he suddenly pulled it outward, and a black shadow was pulled out by him.
Zhao Haoyang stretched out his hand and pointed, and several swords in front of him flew towards him, and when he flew in front of him, he reached out and took one down, and put the sword into the sheath. The rest of the swords in the air were gone, and it was dark again. Huang Jingxuan grabbed the black shadow in his right hand, and with a move in his left hand, he grabbed a fire from the fire, took a closer look, and said, "It turned out to be a mountain worm." With a casual throw, he threw the black shadow on the ground.
I saw that the black figure was covered with hair, and although it had a face like a human, it was full of long hair, and its two arms were also hairy. Han Yiming only saw it clearly at this time, it only had one leg, and its knees and soles were exactly the opposite of what people looked like. It squatted on the ground, similar to the squatting style of chickens and ducks, a pair of small eyes looked through the long hair on its face, looking at this and that, occasionally showing a mouthful of sharp yellow teeth, grinning at everyone. Du Qingfeng smiled: "It's actually very fierce." As if he understood Du Qingfeng's words, the mountain worm waved its fist at him, but its body was tiny, like a four or five-year-old child, waving a small fist, which looked very ridiculous.
Huang Jingxuan and Zhao Haoyang both shook their heads, turned around and walked away. Han Yiming said: "It's so pitiful, how did you get like this? and there is a leg missing?" Sima Lingyi laughed: "Senior brother, do you think it's a human?" Han Yiming said in surprise: "What, isn't he a human?" Sima Lingyi smiled: "Naturally not." When did you see people like this?"
Han Yiming couldn't help but blush, he really thought that the mountain worm was born with a disabled child, so he felt a little pity for it. Sima Lingyi said with a smile: "The mountain worm is a mountain spirit. It is recorded in ancient books that it is shaped like a child and has one leg, with its feet backwards, and it is happy to come to the prisoner. It is the spirit of the mountain, not a man. Han Yiming suddenly realized and said, "No wonder." When I was asleep, he pulled my hair, pulled my face, pulled my ribs, grabbed my feet, and didn't let me sleep. It turned out that it was so by nature, and it was too naughty. ”
Sima Lingyi said: "Frogs hide in the mountains on weekdays, sometimes in the depths of the dense forest, sometimes in the soil, and many mountain people are hidden by them to snatch the things they carry with them. In fact, they are useless to come, but their nature is to play tricks on people when they see them. Han Yiming said: "No wonder there is a big stone behind me, but there is a hand to grab me." That's it. Sima Lingyi smiled: "They have no malice, but they always do evil. Tie it up tonight for the night, or it will be difficult to have peace. ”
Han Yiming said: "Do you want to tie it up overnight?" Sima Lingyi said: "What, is it possible that you want to let it go?" Han Yiming said: "It doesn't hurt people, it's caught by us again, let it go, it won't come again." Sima Lingyi said with a smile: "The little junior brother is really kind-hearted. It's just that you don't know the temperament of the mountain worm, and as soon as you let it go, it will definitely rush to call for friends and come to offend. This night, everyone here didn't have to sleep. Although the mountain worm has only one leg, it walks like flying, and some still come from the ground, which is difficult to prevent. ”
