Chapter 29: Vicious Dog Ridge
Cao Xiaoyang bent down and picked up the hat, but at this time he saw a broken arm under the hat, and there were a large number of tooth marks on it.
Cao Xiaoyang couldn't help laughing. "Let you cheat us out of our money, and now you will be punished. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a low roar from the surrounding woods, and the three of them trembled at the same time, and then they saw some bright red dots in the dim forest approaching little by little.
Tang Wenwen whispered in Cao Xiaoyang's ear: "Yes...... It's a vicious dog. ”
The old man was also a little at a loss for a while, Cao Xiaoyang leaned close to them and said, "Hold the sticks tightly, if they dare to pounce, you will knock them on the head and poke them in the eyes." ”
Listening to the noisy sounds around him, Cao Xiaoyang felt that there should be a lot of vicious dogs, and gradually he also panicked.
At this time, a few evil dogs who rushed in front had already come to the main road, and Cao Xiaoyang finally saw the appearance of these vicious dogs clearly, and his soul was almost scattered for a while.
Are these really dogs?
I saw that their size was larger than that of wolves, and their strong bodies were topped by a somewhat uncoordinated head, and their large mouths occupied almost two-thirds of the entire head.
At this time, the old man said to Cao Xiaoyang: "This is the end, just the stick in our hands, it is not enough to use them as toothpicks." ”
Cao Xiaoyang looked at the other end of the road and was not surrounded by vicious dogs, so he pulled Tang Wenwen and the old man and rushed directly over there, and those vicious dogs immediately ran wildly.
Tang Wenwen gasped and said to Cao Xiaoyang: "We can't outrun them, look at the baggage prepared by Sister Qian, there may be something in it that can deal with the vicious dog." ”
Cao Xiaoyang patted his head and said, "How could I forget such an important matter." ”
So he hurriedly opened the baggage, took out the second layer of things inside and handed it to Tang Wenwen, it was a thing wrapped in yellow paper, Tang Wenwen opened it and looked at it, and the whole person was a little stunned.
Cao Xiaoyang asked in a panic, "What's in it?"
Tang Wenwen said hesitantly: "A ...... Meat buns ......"
"Damn, what are you kidding, I guess even if the three of us lie here, it's not enough for them to stuff their teeth, what can a broken meat bun do!"
Tang Wenwen said: "No matter how much, let's try it first." ”
So she turned and threw the meat bun at the vicious dogs, and at that moment, a miracle happened.
The little meat bun seemed to have a very strong attraction to the vicious dogs, and as soon as the bun was thrown out, they stopped chasing after it, and then began to bite their fellow kind like crazy and fight for the bun.
After a few seconds, Cao Xiaoyang and the others couldn't even see the shadow of the bun, but those vicious dogs were still biting and fighting.
There is a word called "dog eats dog" in the yang world, which means a fight between rude and bad people, and now seeing this scene, Cao Xiaoyang finally understands the true meaning of this word.
In fact, the bun they wanted to fight for had already been eaten by the dog, but in the process of fighting, they provoked conflicts with each other, so although the bun is now gone, they are still biting each other, and it is getting more and more intense.
Finally, Cao Xiaoyang and the three of them left Vicious Dog Ridge safely with the help of a meat bun.
Soon after leaving the Evil Dog Ridge, they soon came to Jinji Mountain, because Cao Xiaoyang had already seen that this road to the ghost city of Xudu was getting more and more dangerous, so he had a hunch that this Jinji Mountain would definitely not be a good place, maybe it would be more dangerous than the Evil Dog Ridge, so this time he had a long mind and planned to get ready to go in again.
So he took out the last thing in his baggage, a snow-white cloth bag, and when he opened it, he saw that there was actually a bag of white rice inside.
Tang Wenwen said: "Dogs eat meat buns, chickens eat rice, this seems reasonable. ”
The reason is that this is a good reason, but Cao Xiaoyang thinks that vicious dogs can eat people, can chickens also eat people? This has never been heard of.
But after entering Jinji Mountain, Cao Xiaoyang quickly understood.
On Jinji Mountain, there are no trees or weeds, and on both sides of the road are some snow-white fine sand, on which blood stains can be seen almost everywhere, and there are some strange spheres.
Cao Xiaoyang looked down and took a closer look, and found that these were actually some eyeballs, but the black eyeballs in these eyeballs had disappeared, leaving a shriveled empty shell.
Cao Xiaoyang thought about it and suddenly understood that those golden roosters should like to peck at the eyeballs of passing ghosts.
They continued to walk forward for a while, and sure enough, they saw those golden chickens, only to see that their size was very large, comparable to the fierce vultures, they flapped their wings and flew over Jinji Mountain, circling to form a black press, seeing a ghost passing by, directly pressed down like a dark cloud, Cao Xiaoyang hurriedly opened the cloth bag and began to throw white rice.
Just as they expected, the golden roosters began to scramble for the white rice and thus did not attack them.
Cao Xiaoyang held a cloth bag in his hand, and sprinkled rice all the way, and finally this Jinji Mountain was also turned over.
According to what Yang Qian said when they came, they had to pass through a total of seven important checkpoints on this trip, among which Huangquan Road, Santu River, Wangxiangtai, Vicious Dog Ridge, and Jinji Mountain had passed, and there were only two stations left, Wild Ghost Village and Lost Soul Palace.
After passing Jinji Mountain, the ghosts on the road ahead gradually increased, and they saw that some of them had no arms, some had no legs, and some even had their heads gone, so they found a hemp rope to tie them around their waists.
Cao Xiaoyang sighed in his heart, fortunately, my grandmother prepared meat buns and white rice for me in advance, otherwise this evil dog ridge and Jinji Mountain would have come all the way, and I would probably be in a different place.
And at this time, the old man who followed them all the way also began to thank them again and again, saying that he had stained their light, otherwise his old arms and legs would not be able to withstand the dog's gnawing and chicken pecking.
Walking further, Cao Xiaoyang found a few strangely dressed ghosts standing on the side of the road in front of him, and after walking over, he realized that they were the Yin Si who guarded the place and were responsible for collecting money from the ghosts.
Ghosts who have paid the money can take a shortcut under their protection to bypass the Wild Ghost Village and go straight to the Lost Soul Palace, while the ghosts who can't pay the money have to take the main road honestly and then enter the Wild Ghost Village for a walk.
Cao Xiaoyang also understood the role of those dark coins in the fourth layer of the burden at this time, which was used to buy the Yin Si through the back door here, and it seems that the old saying that money can make ghosts grind is really true.
At this time, Cao Xiaoyang said to Tang Wenwen: "Fortunately, pay the money, this is not the only way to go to the Lost Soul Palace, we don't have money now, so it's nothing to take a long detour from the wild ghost village." ”
Tang Wenwen nodded, but after walking a few steps towards the Wild Ghost Village, she stopped again and said to Cao Xiaoyang: "I don't know why I have a sense of foreboding, and I am a little scared. ”
Cao Xiaoyang comforted: "Don't be afraid, with me, even if the sky falls, I will help you bear it." ”
At this time, the old man said to Cao Xiaoyang: "Little brother, it is really not easy for us to come all the way, and now we are about to arrive in the capital city, we still have to be careful, if something goes wrong, we will lose all our efforts." ”
Cao Xiaoyang nodded, and then took Tang Wenwen and the old man into the Wild Ghost Village with those ghosts who had no money to hand over to Yin Cha.
Because the expressions on the faces of all the ghosts before entering the village were very nervous, Cao Xiaoyang once thought that there was something terrifying hidden in the village, but he didn't expect that the danger was actually around.
The wild ghosts who entered the village with them were originally listless, but as soon as they entered the village, their temperament suddenly changed greatly, and they saw a ghost with a broken arm bite the arm of the ghost next to him like crazy, and then forcibly tore off the other party's arm and took it to their body.
The rest of the ghosts also began to attack each other, Cao Xiaoyang's surroundings were in chaos for a while, and he suddenly figured out that these guys were almost unsound after passing the Vicious Dog Ridge and Jinji Mountain, but they wanted to have a sound body to reincarnate after passing the Ecstasy Palace, so they began to rob and rob the limbs of other ghosts here.
