Chapter 772: Strange Laughter in the Night
"Dao Chief, hey, hey, where are you going......"
Before Zhang Meng could catch the Han Daoist, he found that the Han Taoist ran back to his room, and then snapped and closed his door tightly.
The entire Taoist temple also became silent in an instant.
All that remained was the heavy breathing of the Taoist priests.
Seeing this, Laizi hurriedly turned around and gave everyone a look.
The crowd immediately entered the room and closed the door.
After checking the doors and windows, Zhang Meng finally couldn't help but say, "You say, what's strange in this temple?" ”
Lai Zi had a contemplative expression on his face: "Judging from the conversation just now, this group of Taoist priests doesn't look like cunning people!" ”
"Hmm." Ye Jiu also nodded in agreement.
"People are not strange, is it this Taoist temple?" Zhang Meng suddenly remembered the small mountain village where the Nightmare Ice Corpse was hidden, and suddenly had an idea: "Do you think that this place is also the same as the ancient tomb of that mountain village, someone is borrowing land to do evil?" ”
Seeing that Zhang Meng suspected that there was an underground palace in this Taoist temple, Ye Jiu immediately said coldly: "When I approached the Taoist temple, I took a closer look, and there was no trace of building an underground palace. ”
"There is no underground palace, and this group of Taoist priests is not cunning, so what is the reason why they are afraid of being like this?" Zhang Meng looked at Lai Zi and asked.
Hearing Zhang Meng's analysis, Lai Zi said thoughtfully: "Unless ......"
"Unless what?" Zhang Meng was anxious and asked.
Seeing Zhang Meng's anxious look, Brother Jun smiled faintly, and played with the military thorn in his hand meaningfully: "What are you the most taboo for Taoist priests?" ”
After being reminded by Brother Jun, Zhang Meng immediately came to his senses, and he slapped his thigh and shouted: "Brother Jun is saying that what they avoid is the god enshrined in the Taoist temple - the Queen Mother?" ”
But speaking of this, Zhang Meng looked at Lai Zi in a little confusion: "It stands to reason that the gods invited shouldn't be blessed by them?" ”
"According to the saying that the north invited Ma Xian, using the power of immortals will have to pay a corresponding price." Lai Zi nodded and explained: "This point is actually the same in Taoism. ”
"So the Queen Mother of the West has harmed the Taoist priests in their view?" Listening to Lai Zi's explanation, Zhang Meng remembered the previous talisman, didn't the fat man and Lai Zi just say that the talisman was all about inviting heavenly officials?
Hearing this, Lai Zi and Brother Jun nodded.
"Good boy!" Zhang Meng took a deep breath, and her eyes widened: "Then there is really a queen mother?" ”
Hearing this, Brother Jun snorted indifferently, and his gloves gently passed over the blood trough of the military thorn.
Seeing that Brother Jun didn't believe it, Lai Zi also shook his head and said, "It's still unclear." ”
"It seems that we will only know the truth of the matter after twelve o'clock." Zhang Meng threw all the baggage on his body aside with relief, and then lay on the bed on the side, and said to Brother Jun, Brother Jiu, and Lai Zi: "It seems that everyone is very curious. In this case, let's take a rest first, and catch a little Taoist priest at night and ask, don't you know? ”
Hearing this, Brother Jun and Ye Jiu each found a bed and lay down.
Lai Zi spread his hands and gestured helplessly to Zhang Meng.
Although none of the three of them responded to him positively, Zhang Meng knew that Brother Jun and Ye Jiu must have been ready for a long time, and they would go out to find out the truth of the matter after dark.
Sure enough, when it was getting dark, there was another panicked footsteps in the Taoist temple, and the four of them were suddenly awakened by the panicked footsteps.
Brother Jun quietly pushed the door open a crack with one hand, only to see a group of little Taoist priests who had just finished their homework running back to their room without saying a word, and then plugged in the door and closed the door tightly.
Seeing this scene, Brother Jun quickly rushed out of the door and grabbed a little Taoist priest who had not had time to run back.
"You...... You guys...... Do? ”
The little Taoist priest stared at Brother Jun with a worried expression.
Seeing that the little Taoist priest could speak Chinese, Zhang Meng was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Are you Han?" Can speak Chinese? ”
"No, my mother is Han." The little Taoist priest was obviously not as afraid of Zhang Meng as he was of Brother Jun, but his face was still a little cowardly and anxious, and he said, "Can you let him let me go first?" ”
"Okay." Zhang Meng said with a smile.
"Then ...... you" Seeing that his companions around him had run out, the little Taoist priest pursed his lips and said with a crying voice: "Let him let me go." ”
"Let you go." Zhang Meng blinked slyly and asked, "You just need to tell us, why are you so scared, I will let him let you go." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Meng also deliberately pointed to Brother Jun.
"Uh...... No, no. The little Taoist priest was so anxious that tears almost flowed out.
"If you don't say it, he won't let you go." Zhang Meng continued to pressurize.
"Hurry up...... Alright, alright, I said. The little Taoist priest looked around with a panicked face, and after seeing that there was nothing abnormal, he lowered his voice and said in Zhang Meng's ear: "After a while, the Queen Mother should take someone to heaven again." ”
"Ascend to heaven?" Zhang Meng blinked in surprise, not knowing what this sentence meant.
"It is the soul of a man who ascends to heaven and dies in the flesh." The little Taoist priest said.
"Dead?" Zhang Meng asked puzzledly, "How did you die?" ”
"Dead is dead! Why are you so ......?" said the little Taoist priest impatiently.
"How long has this been happening?" Laizi asked calmly beside him.
"It's been years! In this vicinity, not only Dao Tong, as long as someone is left alone at night, they will be found dead in the snow the next day. Seeing that Zhang Meng was still procrastinating, the little Taoist priest immediately avoided it, said a word anxiously, and then took advantage of the opportunity for Brother Jun to wonder, broke free of Brother Jun's hand, and hurriedly ran back to his room.
Seeing that the little Taoist priest was so scared, the four of them didn't get too entangled and returned to the room.
"You say, is there really the Queen Mother of the West who is committing murder? Or is this little Taoist priest purely making up. Zhang Meng asked.
"It's hard to tell the real from the fake." Laizi shook his head and said, "However, I do believe it a little. ”
"Oh?" When Zhang Meng heard this, he hurriedly turned his head sideways.
"Think about it, why did the good descendants temple turn into a jungle temple?" Lai Zi saw Zhang Meng's expression, and said to himself: "The reason is nothing more than that the people in the audience are not prosperous!" There are no wars in this place, and there are no major natural disasters, so what is the possibility of reducing the number of people? Isn't it the Queen Mother of the West who brought the Taoist child to heaven in the mouth of the little Taoist priest......"
"It's not impossible to say that, but it's still the same sentence, do you really believe that there is a queen mother?" Zhang Meng looked back at the three of them sideways and added: "If I believe in the ancient mythical beasts recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but this mythical queen mother, hehe......"
"I don't believe it either." Ye Jiu, who was sitting in the corner, raised his head slightly and said.
Brother Jun still had the same expression, and lightly pushed his sunglasses.
"However, Ah Meng, don't forget, in the record of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the Queen Mother of the West is also an orc." Yoriko added.
"Then what do you mean to say that this 'Queen Mother' is very likely to be the same Western Queen Mother as described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"." Zhang Meng said: "Then what kind of unknown creature is this?" ”
"Let's see, won't we?" Lai Zi turned around and smiled at Zhang Meng and said, "I see that Ah Meng is white and tender, and you look cute, maybe this 'Queen Mother' still likes a little Taoist boy like you." ”
"Laizi, you ......" Zhang Meng shook his head with an embarrassed expression and said, "I don't want to be caught by those messy things." ”
Brother Jun and Ye Jiu smiled at the same time.
Seeing that Ye Jiu actually smiled, Zhang Meng hurriedly said: "I think, it's better to let Brother Jiu'er play the little Taoist, Brother Jiu'er's skin is white and fine enough, that thing will definitely like it." ”
"Humph!" Hearing Zhang Meng lead the disaster water to himself, Ye Jiu suddenly snorted coldly.
Brother Jun looked back at Ye Jiu, nodded after a moment and said, "It's okay." ”
"So who's going to pretend?" Raiko asked.
"Of course it's Brother Jiu'er!" Zhang Meng hurriedly said: "Brother Jiu'er's strength is stronger than mine, and it will not be dangerous for him to pretend." ”
"You're not bad right now." Brother Jun pondered: "In this way, both of you come to pretend to be this little Taoist boy, and I will make a move in secret." ”
"This ......" looked at Lai Zi with a smile on his face, Zhang Meng said angrily: "Since it is a net scattering, I think it is better for Lai Zi to be a Taoist priest!" ”
"Me?" Lai Zi said with a smile: "I'm as thin as a bone frame, and the Queen Mother definitely doesn't look down on me." ”
"Laizi, don't be modest." Zhang Meng said: "Look at your physique, you are a young man. ”
"Okay, don't shirk it, you guys go together to be this bait, and when you encounter something wrong, shout, I will be the first to arrive." After Brother Jun finished speaking, a military thorn with a cold light slid into his sleeve.
"Okay!"
And when they had finished deliberating, they prepared their own meals.
Brother Jun pushed open the door and walked out, and after a while, he took back three robes and handed them to Zhang Meng and the others, turned around, and disappeared into the darkness again.
The three of them were no longer surprised, Zhang Meng took the robe and threw it to Ye Jiu and Lai Zi: "Okay, don't think about running away this time." Haha, from now on, the three of us are the Taoist priests of this Niangniangguan. ”
As he spoke, Ye Jiu had already dressed, and then pushed the door out without hesitation.
Looking at Lai Zi, who was left behind, Zhang Meng sighed lightly and said, "I said, Lai Zi, when you put on a Taoist robe, you really look like a Taoist priest, more like Brother Jiu'er." ”
"Really?" Raiko asked rhetorically.
"It seems that the Queen Mother may be looking for a Taoist priest like you tonight." Zhang Meng laughed.
"You're not bad!" Lai Zi couldn't help pinching Zhang Meng's face: "Tsk, this skin must attract a large group of mothers to covet." ”
"Ugh." Hearing that Lai Zi was disgusting and thinking of a group of monsters chasing behind his ass, Zhang Meng hurriedly shook his head and pushed the door out: "Forget it, it's better to leave it to you and Brother Jiu'er, I can't enjoy this blessing!" ”
Because they were afraid that there would be too many people, the three of them did not get together, but separated, one walked to the backyard, the other went to the front yard, and Zhang Meng walked to the backyard of the Taoist temple.
I don't know how long it took, when Zhang Meng was trembling and almost freezing in the snowy night, there were bursts of creepy laughter around the silence.
"Hey...... Hey...... Hey hey ......"
"it!" This laughter that appeared out of thin air, frightened Zhang Meng's goosebumps rose, Zhang Meng also forgot that he was a bait, and ran back, shouting in a low voice while running: "Laizi, Laizi, Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother." ”
I screamed for a while, but I didn't hear a response from either of them.
Zhang Meng sighed in his heart, and wanted to open his mouth to call Brother Jun to come over to help, but just as he was about to speak, he found that something was moving in the corner in the distance.
Zhang Meng immediately grabbed the dagger he carried with him and stared at the thing in the corner.
"Hey...... Hey...... Hey hey ......"
Just as Zhang Meng was staring at the corner of the wall, there was a sudden creepy strange laugh behind him, and the laughter was exactly the same as the previous sound!
