Chapter 138: Where is the monster?
At this time, it was nearly four watches, and it was snowing outside, so they couldn't go to the black stone ditch now, so everyone stayed here, sent Zhang Zhong back, and brought the officials back after dawn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Taoist monks have a lot of medical skills, Tianmu Lao Taoist has the heart to help the young man who is full of nonsense to detoxify and cure diseases, seeing that the monk Wuzhen is chanting and praying from the side, he will stop and die.
Nanfeng looked at it on the side, and vaguely guessed what Tianmu Lao Dao was thinking, it was Tianmu who helped to save people, if it was cured, others would say that it was his Fu Shui and Wu Zhen Prayer to work together, and the monk who chanted the scriptures for no reason shared the credit.
Although he didn't say anything, Nanfeng vaguely began to worry, he knew that he should have invited one to come, and the Taoist monk invited him together, and when the time came, the two might pass the buck to each other, and they didn't contribute, let alone expect the two to work together.
The young man lying on the bed had a sister, and he couldn't sleep while serving the decoction, so the fat man talked to her and comforted the people, and the woman took a bite to the old man, and the fat man called him felt more and more that he was a master, and talked to others in a serious manner.
The fat man's mind naturally can't hide from the south wind, during this time the two have been eating qi tonifying herbs, he is proficient in practicing qi guidance, and can refine the medicinal power of the herbs and return them to Tibet, but the fat man is unfamiliar with practicing qi, and he can't suppress the medicinal power, although it is winter, his face is red every day, and the eyes of the two elderly aunts are not right these days, it seems that the time has really come, and if he doesn't achieve a family affair with him, this guy is afraid that he will do dirty things.
There were still two hours before dawn, so Nanfeng went to the inner room, meditated cross-legged, and guided the spiritual energy of refining and refining the decoction during the day.
The surviving man was so frightened that he kept talking incoherently when he returned, and although all the people who were with him died, their relatives did not believe it, and they all wanted to see it with their own eyes, so they gathered spontaneously, and waited until after dawn to go into the mountains with Nanfeng and others to look for people.
The sky is not beautiful, and the snow does not stop after dawn, and when it is time, Zhang Zhong brings the officials over, meets with Nanfeng and others, and sets off together.
This matter was too dangerous, Nanfeng didn't want the villagers to go along, but the fat man "understood" the people's hearts and allowed everyone to go into the mountain together.
More than a dozen officials, more than 30 villagers, and a group of more than 50 people braved the snow into the mountains.
A few villagers who knew the location of Heishigou led the way from the front, and everyone walked behind, because it was early winter, although it had been raining for a long time, the snow was not thick, and it was not difficult to walk, but it was a little slippery.
It is estimated that it is impossible to expect Tianmu and Wuzhen to cooperate, so take precautions, Nanfeng told the two in advance, if it is a goblin, it will be surrendered by Tianmu. If it is a ghost, it will be up to Wuzhen.
I had to divide the errand in advance, so as not to get the "humility to each other" at the critical moment and not make a move.
When walking, Nanfeng talked with several elderly villagers and asked about the situation of the black stone ditch, according to the villagers, the black stone ditch is dozens of miles away from the village, the terrain is treacherous, there is a perennial fog lingering in the ditch, and there are many poisonous insects, and the villagers have been staying away.
In addition, there may have been people living in the early years of the black stone ditch, but they don't know who lived there, and they don't know when they lived there, and the villagers only guessed that there were people living there based on the remaining foundations in the ditch.
The mountain road was difficult, and the group waited endlessly, and finally came to the black stone ditch located deep in the mountains before sunset.
The villagers are not allowed to subdivide the ravines and valleys, the black stone ditch is actually a valley with a large number of black stones, located between two mountain peaks, there may be a hot spring in the valley, and the mist emitted lingers above the valley, and the situation in the valley is not very real due to the influence of the fog.
However, there is no snow in the valley, and standing at the mouth of the valley, you can vaguely see that there are stone foundations in the grass in the valley, and the foundation is damaged, at least for more than a hundred years.
"My lord, those bones are all beasts of the mountains, and there are no bones among them. Zhang Zhong pointed to the bones in the valley, he was in charge of the prison, and often followed the servants to conduct autopsies, recognizing human bones and animal bones.
Nanfeng nodded, and there were a large number of white bones scattered in the valley, and at a glance, it was really terrifying.
"Take advantage of the dawn and go in early to find someone. The fat man ordered.
"My lord, wait a moment, and let the poor Dao spy on the temptation. Tianmu Lao Dao said.
"Okay, you go in and see. The fat man agreed.
Unexpectedly, Tianmu Lao Dao did not enter the valley, but jumped up and swept towards the peaks on the outskirts of the valley.
"Where did he go?" the fat man asked Nanfeng.
"The formation is gone. Nanfeng said, the fog is condensed by water, and it is blocked by fog, and people in the cultivation can't see the abnormal breath in the valley, but the Taiqing Sect has a spell that can be used to spy on the strength of the hidden things in the array through the array, in fact, it can't be determined the exact strength of the other party, and can only roughly judge which is stronger or weaker than the other party.
"Amitabha, adults are also proficient in occult arts?" asked Monk Wuzhen suspiciously.
Nanfeng thought he was talkative, so he nodded at the valley, "If you have nothing to do, you can go in and explore." ”
"Don't listen to him," the fat man interjected to stop him, and turned his head to look at Nanfeng, "Why don't you let the Taoist priest in?"
Nanfeng smiled and didn't answer, everyone has their own likes and dislikes, and the fat man is a monk, so he naturally prefers a monk. And if he is a Taoist, he will have more favor for Taoists.
After half a burnt incense, Tianmu Lao Dao returned, painted Taiji graphics with cinnabar from the valley mouth, and then used two willow branches, each roll of rune paper, first inserted Taiyin fish eye, and then inserted the sun fish eye.
After the two small rune paper flags were inserted, they were swaying slightly, and after a while, the small flags of Taiyin fish-eyed slowly fell down.
Seeing this situation, Tianmu Lao Dao was relieved, "There may be some beasts, but there is nothing to do, you can enter." ”
When everyone saw him say this, they were all secretly relieved, everyone likes to pinch persimmons, and no one likes to pinch hedgehogs.
The fat man gave an order, Tianmu and Wuzhen went first, Zhang Zhong and others followed the officials, the fat man and Nanfeng followed, and the villagers last.
A short distance ahead, the remains of houses appeared in the valley, and the walls had collapsed due to years of desertion, and only the stone seats remained.
"Who is going to build a house here?" the fat man wondered.
Nanfeng also felt puzzled, the terrain here is treacherous, not suitable for long-term living, but this place is very hidden, the people who lived here may have been for the purpose of evasion, the Qin and Han dynasties have been very harsh punishments so far, and there are often people who avoid the mountains and wilderness in order to save their lives.
However, these people who avoid the mountains usually do not end well, first, there are wild beasts in the mountains, second, there are bandits in the mountains, and secondly, the court will also look for and hunt them down.
The valley is very deep, there is fog above, there are cliffs on the left and right, it is very depressing to walk in it, and it is late in the sky, the light is unknown, everyone is frightened and nervous.
There are many black stones in the valley, and after walking a short distance, a head appeared on the ground, and the official picked it up and sent it, Nanfeng looked at it, and handed it to the fat man with his backhand, which must have been left here by the villagers who had entered the valley before.
"There!" Zhang Zhong pointed to the stone wall on the north side and shouted loudly.
When everyone heard the sound, they turned their heads to look north, only to see a large longitudinal crack in the steep stone wall, and a cluster of bright red ginseng seeds poking out of the stone crack three feet above the ground.
It is warm and humid here, easy to grow grass and trees, and you can see the size of the ginseng seeds to know that the mountain ginseng must be very large.
However, what Zhang Zhong is referring to is not the mountain ginseng that grows in the stone crevice, but a multi-legged poisonous insect above the mountain ginseng, at this time, the poisonous insect is half hidden in the stone wall, looking at its shape, it is a huge black centipede, the body is wide, when there is a zhang long.
Tianmu bore the brunt of the attack, drew his long sword, jumped up, stepped on the stone wall and used his strength to rise again, and when he got close, the long sword swung and slashed the centipede.
The centipede has become a master for a long time, and when it saw Tianmu attacking, it tilted its head and spit out a puff of blue poisonous mist.
Tianmu turned around to avoid it, climbed the stone wall with his arm to borrow strength, turned around and slashed the centipede again.
Seeing that the poisonous mist could not hurt Tianmu, the centipede hurriedly hid in the crack of the stone.
Tianmu Sword handed over to his left hand, and his right hand took out a paper talisman from his sleeve, put it in his palm, and struck at the stone wall.
The spell seemed to have a power-boosting effect, and the stone wall trembled when it was struck.
Tianmu sent out three paper talismans in a row, and finally forced the centipede out of the crack in the stone, and Tianmu saw this and took out the sword again, but the centipede carapace was hard, and the long sword could not hurt it, but only shook it to the ground.
Zhang Zhong shouted, led the officials to rush forward, and the soldiers stabbed indiscriminately with spears.
The centipede panicked, snaked out, and fled deeper into the valley.
How could Tianmu and the others let it get away, each holding their own house, shouting and chasing.
"What are you doing in a daze, go over and help. The fat man shouted at the villagers.
Only then did the villagers react, took their farm tools, and rushed forward.
When the villagers ran away, the fat man pointed to the stone wall and said to the south wind, "Go up and dig up the mountain ginseng." ”
Nanfeng just wanted to answer, but found that Zhang Zhong and the others who were running in front turned around and ran back in a panic, and even Tianmu Lao Dao and Monk Wuzhen were also among the people who fled.
Before the south wind could see it, there was a deafening roar in the valley, which was strong and low, shocking to the heart, and it should come from the mouth of a fierce beast, but it was not like the sound of a tiger and a leopard.
"What's that?" shouted Southwind.
"There is yin qi lingering, it should be a ghost. Amagi responded.
"Sharp teeth and sharp teeth, when it is a monster. "Gojin is also on the run.
Nanfeng didn't ask again, because he had already seen the monster chasing after everyone, it was the size of a three-headed tiger, with white hair, red eyes, a wide face and a long snout, and its fangs protruding downward, and its shape was three points like a tiger and seven points like a wolf, a strange shape he had never seen before.
The monster seemed to be extremely angry, jumped a few feet, and the two ups and downs caught up with Zhang Zhong and others, smashing several people with their claws, and another rush, catching up with Tianmu, and then knocking Tianmu away, rushing forward, and then knocking the villagers apart.
At the critical moment, Wu Zhen revealed his cultivation, but instead of heroically resisting the enemy, he ran for his life, but he was no faster than the white-haired monster, and was chased by the monster and pressed to the ground.
The monster's fingers and claws were very flexible, and he grabbed Gozhen in his hand, looked down, and threw it out with his backhand.
At the critical moment, Nanfeng didn't think much about it, and hurriedly reached into his arms, wanting to take the nine-turn lotus, but he never thought that the fat man had already thrown out the earth-shattering copper thunder one step ahead of him.
However, the fat man was so nervous that he forgot to turn on the spring before throwing it, and the copper thunder threw it but did not explode.
Seeing the monster rushing towards him, Nanfeng hurriedly pushed the fat man away and jumped up, wanting to attack the monster's eyes.
But no sooner had he jumped than the monster swung his claws into the air, slammed into the stone wall, and fell to the ground.
Although he fell, Nanfeng didn't bother to check his injuries, and eagerly got up, wanting to rescue the fat man.
Seeing the monster rushing towards him, the fat man was frightened, thinking that it was difficult to save his life, and after saying Amitabha, he closed his eyes and waited for death.
Unexpectedly, the monster heard the fat man's voice, but suddenly retracted, landed in front of the fat man, and tilted his head to look at him.
After waiting for a while, he didn't see the monster coming to bite, the fat man opened his eyes, and when he saw that the monster was in front of him, he turned around and ran away in fright.
The monster leaped up, landed outside, stopped the fat man, and tilted his head to look at him......
