Chapter 24: Mountain Ghosts

Goku stood outside the valley, carefully observing his surroundings. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Sure enough, as Li Daniu said, the mountains on both sides block the light tightly. The whole valley was shrouded in darkness all day long, with a cold smell and a rancid smell in it.

That day, after Goku left the fat boss's butcher's shop. I went to buy some lo-meier, as well as a jar of old wine, and went to Hanchi Village to find Li Daniu. When he arrived at Li Da Niu, he only said that he was idle and had nothing to do to find Brother Da Niu to drink. This Li Da Niu is bold by nature, and he didn't say much. took out the bacon at home, made a few dishes, and drank it with Wukong. While drinking, Wukong knocked on the side and probed many times. Li Daniu used the spirit of wine to tell everything he knew. It's basically the same as what the fat boss said. He also told the story of how to find the mountain ghost in great detail, and Wukong remembered them all in his heart. In this way, the two drank wine for half a night, and Wukong also stayed at Li Daniu's house for one night, and left early the next morning. However, Wukong did not go home, but quietly entered the mountain and looked for the mountain ghost.

Goku pulled out a woodcutter and held it in his hand. He was also a little nervous and a little excited. He let out his divine sense and probed forward, while cautiously walking into the valley. Now Wukong's divine sense can already probe a distance of about ten zhang, although the consumption is still a bit large for him, and the distance of exploration is also a little shorter. But in such a dimly lit place, it is difficult to detect the hidden danger with the eyes. He didn't want to be eaten as a snack by the mountain ghosts in order to save some mental power, and he heard that there were three mountain ghosts.

Fortunately, the valley is not big, less than 100 zhang long, and only more than 10 zhang wide. Wukong's mental power is not strong enough. He took a cursory turn around the valley, and under the investigation of his divine sense, Wukong did not even find a single mouse alive. If you hadn't found the missing fork of the bull, you would have wondered if you had found it in the wrong place.

Goku retracted his consciousness and rested in the valley for a while. Very unwillingly, he got up again and searched carefully in the valley. Finally found something unusual in the valley. Deep in the valley, there is a piece of ground that is different from the rest. There were very few dead branches and leaves on the ground, and the soil on the ground seemed to have been stirred. Wukong carefully poked the ground with a firewood knife and found that the soil was very loose. So he used a wood knife as a shovel and dug into the ground. After a while, a foul smell wafted out, and many bones were dug up from the ground. These bones are obviously not dry bones, and there are gnawing marks on the bones, and they are gnawed cleanly. As can be seen from the skull next to it, these are human bones.

After Wukong looked at the bones carefully, he buried them back again, thinking, "It seems that this is the place that the big cow said, but where did the mountain ghost go?" Are you looking for something to eat again? Let's get out of here first, don't let the mountain ghosts get stuck in the valley, you can't run if you want to. ”

Thinking of this, Goku walked out of the valley. When he is about to get to the mouth of the valley, Goku has a new discovery. There were a few low trees at the mouth of the valley, and when he entered the valley, he was only concerned to check if there were any living creatures, and he did not pay attention to them. Only then did I find that some of the branches of these dwarf trees had been broken. And the fracture is very flat, and at first glance it was cut with a sharp weapon such as a sword. Such a flat incision can only be cut out at once. You must know that these branches are very hard and tough, and it is not easy to cut them off at once. Wukong tried it with a firewood knife, and it took five or six strokes for his firewood knife to cut off a branch, and the position of the knife was accurate, and it couldn't be deviated. Wukong couldn't help but say with emotion: "This has to be a sharp knife!" ”

Suddenly, I heard someone behind me speak: "It's not that your knife is not sharp enough, but that your knife is too slow." ”

Goku was taken aback and suddenly wanted to turn around. Suddenly, he felt a cold blade hit his neck. Wukong didn't dare to move anymore, so he could only turn around slowly, only to see a person standing behind him, very tall, the light in Taniguchi was very dim, and he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, and what was hanging on his neck was a long sword.

The man looked at Wukong and said, "Your reaction is also slow, but you are not small. With a swing of the long sword, he cut off a thick branch. Ostentatiously shook the long sword in front of Goku's eyes again, retracted the scabbard and asked, "Little one, it's okay to use a sword." Who are you? What are you doing here? ”

Wukong settled his mind and saw that this person had no malicious intent, so he put his mind at ease and asked, "Who are you?" Why are you scaring me with a sword? ”

"Little one, did I ask you first?"

"Oh, I'm hunting, my name is Monkey King, I heard that there are mountain ghosts here, so I wanted to come and see it."

"Mountain ghosts? Looks like that's what you call those things. Would you like to see more? I really don't know whether to live or die! If you did see it today, you would be dead by now. ”

"Don't look down on people, okay? It was just my carelessness that allowed you to sneak attack. Besides, mountain ghosts are nothing remarkable, aren't they? A few days ago, Brother Da Niu saw it, isn't it okay now? ”

"Are you talking about the guy who ran away from here a few days ago? That's why you found here, right? If I hadn't intervened in time that day, that person would have been gnawed clean by what you call a 'mountain ghost'. It's funny that you little guy dares to come and watch the fun. ”

"I heard Brother Da Niu say that when he ran, he heard the 'mountain ghosts' fighting behind him, and it turned out that you were fighting with them! Now that the mountain ghosts are gone, did you kill them all? ”

"It's not that easy, just run away. That's not a 'mountain ghost', it's a 'human puppet' that has been refined by people, those things, quick to move, rough skin and thick flesh, not afraid of life and death, and there is a huge poison on the body, as long as you are injured by them, you will be poisoned, almost incurable. Do you still want to see it? ”

"Was it artificially refined? Not a 'mountain ghost'? Isn't that a youkai? ”

"Youkai? I really underestimated you, you still want to see youkai? Hey, boy, are you here for a youkai? What are you looking for? ”

"I'm looking for youkai ......, are we familiar with each other? I don't know you, so why should I tell you? ”

"Isn't it easy to get to know each other?" The man put his arm around Wukong's shoulders very enthusiastically and introduced himself: "My surname is Ye, my name is Ye Gucheng, and I am a ranger. It is the kind that travels all over the world, acts chivalrous and righteous, and eliminates violence and peace. Come little brother, your name is ...... By the way, Monkey King, right, don't you see that we know each other? Tell me, what are you looking for youkai for? ”

Wukong looked at this person who claimed to be Ye Gucheng with suspicion and asked, "Why do you want to know?" ”

"Curious. Generally speaking, when people hear that there are youkai, they can't run. But you're running around looking for the monster. Can I not be curious, you say? ”

"So tell me what a 'human puppet' is first? I'll tell you again why I'm looking for youkai. ”

"'Human puppets' have nothing to do with youkai, why do you want to know?"

Wukong smiled slyly and said, "Curious." I'm curious, too! ”

Ye Gucheng looked at Wukong, rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, let's find a clean place first." By the way, do you know how to grill meat? ”

"Of course, the craftsmanship is pretty good."

"That's good, I'll get the meat in a while, and you'll be in charge of roasting it."
