Chapter 25: Night Walking
Everyone walked along the previous road to the mountain, and along the way, Chen Zhi was a little scared, and said to Lao Mo: "You tell us about the history and legend of this Tao Mountain." We're going to go faster, too. ”
Lao Mo happened to be a little scared, and immediately opened the conversation. "Speaking of this Tao Mountain, there are some examples, there is a bell and drum tower at the foot of this mountain, surrounded by a group of buildings before the Han Dynasty. According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Fan Li, the prime minister of the Yue Kingdom, after becoming famous, took the famous beauty Xi Shi, boated on the five lakes, and finally lived in seclusion in this place. Nowadays, 500 meters northwest of Taoshan Youqi Temple, there is also the joint burial tomb of Fan Li Xishi.
"Rush to love, this beauty Xi Shi and the fox fairy like to be buried near the monk's temple? The motive is not pure! Fat Wei followed suit.
Lao Mo laughed a few times, and then said: "This Tao Mountain is located in the northwest of the old city of F City, the ancient name is Peach Blossom Mountain, the mountain is dangerous, strange, there are 72 natural caves on the mountain, there are several holes, unfathomable, according to legend, there are goblins in ancient caves. In ancient times, the inhabitants of this place did not dare to go up the mountain at night. ”
"Alright! Lao Mo, I can see it, you have nothing else in Taoshan, so you are rich in goblins and deceive tourists, right? The fat man said as he lit a cigarette.
"Where are the caves you are talking about?" The ghost knife suddenly asked, climbing the mountain for a long time, and didn't see him take a breath.
"We haven't seen so many caves, but there are many caves behind the Youqi Temple, but no one has ever entered them." Lao Mo said.
The group was talking, and soon walked to the Youqi Temple that they saw during the day.
The secluded temple at night can be different from the day, there is no one in the temple at night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the wind is gusting in the mountains, just like the Lanruo Temple in the ghost story of a Chinese woman.
Chen Zhi shuddered from the cold wind, tightened his shirt, and said, "Let's go to the cave in the back and take a walk around." With that, he turned on the flashlight and walked forward.
Behind the temple is a forest, the inside of the forest is pitch black, and the mountain wall can be faintly seen inside.
Chen Zhi has been afraid that others will laugh at him for being timid, although the woods in front of him are a little dark, but Chen Zhi recklessly turned on the flashlight and took the lead in walking forward.
"Wait a minute," Fat Wei pressed Chen Zhi's shoulder. He put his mouth to Chen Zhi's ear and whispered, "Orange, let me tell you, don't be afraid!" Don't shout! You see that under the big tree in front of you, there seems to be a person standing. ”
"What?" Chen Zhi was startled and immediately looked ahead.
In the woods in front of us, there was a very large tree with a lot of leaves, like a huge umbrella. Beneath the tree, there stood a humanoid thing, motionless, staring at them from afar.
Chen Zhi was scared enough, but he had experience in the basement, and his psychology was no longer as fragile as before, and the ghost knife was by his side, so he had a certain sense of security in his heart.
"Old Mo," Chen Zhi shouted, "Look at what it is, has there been such a thing in this mountain?" ”
Lao Mo was already so frightened that he peed his pants in the back, and said tremblingly: "I heard when I was a child that there is a mountain woman in this mountain, who is a scary goblin, who often catches people who are lost in the mountains to eat, and when someone sees her, she beckons to her, like giving you directions." ”
As soon as Lao Mo's words fell, he saw the person in the distance waving at them, turning around and walking towards the depths of the woods, as if he was a little hunchbacked.
"Go" The ghost knife followed him in an arrow step and walked into the woods.
"Be careful" Fat Wei reminded Chen Zhi and walked into the woods. Lao Mo was very reluctant to go, but he didn't dare to turn around and go down the mountain by himself at this time, so he had to walk into the woods with Chen Zhi and them.
It was very dark in the woods, and Chen Zhilai didn't bring much equipment, only an explosion-proof flashlight and a dagger called "Baipi". With a flashlight, he followed Ghost Knife and Fat Wei through the woods, carefully advancing.
As they walked, the ghost knife suddenly stopped moving, and the team stopped. Chen Zhi looked forward, only to see the black figure in front of him stop, slowly turned around, and pointed to the ground below.
Chen Zhi and the others walked forward cautiously, shook the figure with a flashlight, and heard a "squeak", and with a strange scream, the face was exposed to the light.
Chen Zhi was half frightened when he saw that face, it was a face full of wrinkles, white and white, with prominent eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth.
The figure was shaken by the light, and screamed and rushed at Lao Mo. Just listen to Lao Mo"Ah! He fell to the ground with a scream, his hands scratching at his face.
Chen Zhizheng didn't know what to do, so he heard Fat Wei shout: "I'll fuck you, there are no tigers in the mountains, the monkey really wants to be the overlord!" After speaking, he grabbed the shadow that pressed on Lao Mo's face and slammed it on the trunk.
Chen Zhi heard a scream of "squeak", and hurriedly shone it with a flashlight, and when he saw the thing that was thrown on the book, he couldn't smile bitterly. It turned out that the black figure was two monkeys stacked on top of each other, standing as tall as a man. Now he was thrown by Fat Wei, one fainted, and the other jumped up the tree and ran.
"The special monkeys dare to bully us," Fat Wei said, reaching out to pull Lao Mo. "I said Lao Mo, you can't do it either! You haven't seen this goblin on the mountain, haven't you seen a monkey either? ”
Lao Mo was frightened just now, he almost didn't cry, and now he is squatting on the ground with his legs trembling. There was no resistance to Fat Wei's sarcasm.
The ghost knife took a few steps forward at this time, turned around and said, "There's something down here," he pointed to where the monkey had pointed just now.
Chen Zhi and Fat Wei hurriedly walked over, looked at the ground, and found that it was a bald land with no grass.
Fat Wei glanced at Chen Zhi and said, "Dig it!" This is my old job, with the guys? ”
Chen Zhi shook his head, he was a complete layman when it came to digging graves.
Fat Wei put down his kit and took out the tools inside, which looked like small shovel picks.
"See for a long time! Small oranges. Wei Ye, I don't need a Luoyang shovel, that thing is too troublesome. This is my private customization, I call it the rolling pick, easy to enter the soil, fast to dig. After speaking, he threw it to Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi swept the rolling pickaxe, which was very light, like a shovel, but sharper than a shovel, and the front was like an iron pickaxe. Chen Zhi tried to plow the ground, it was very easy to use, although Chen Zhi was a novice, but after a while, he dug out a lot of soil.
Chen Zhi and the three of them worked hard to dig for more than three hours, and the ground was thrown more than ten meters deep, but they didn't see anything, let alone the cemetery, not even a big stone.
At this time, Lao Mo, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but speak: "I said, several brothers, they have dug so deep, it is estimated that there is no drama." The monkey may just be a casual finger, and besides, digging such a big pit in the mountain, let the mountain pipe see it tomorrow, and we can't explain it! Why don't we go down to have some dinner tonight, it is estimated that this fox fairy girl is not at home today, and she will go home tomorrow, and then send a monkey to find you. Lao Mo couldn't hold back after speaking, he actually covered his mouth and laughed.
Chen Zhi's whole body was covered with mud and sweat at this time, and he was desperately tired, and he was a little annoyed. He felt that he was really a 2B, and he actually believed the nonsense of those people, and went up the mountain in the middle of the night to find some fox fairy.
"Let's go! Let's go down the mountain and eat! Lao Tzu's stomach is hungry. Fat Wei wiped his sweat and said.
The ghost knife nodded, and climbed to the ground in a few steps. Walk down the mountain with Lao Mo.
Back at the hotel, Fat Wei immediately shouted that he was going to starve to death. Lao Mo and his daughter-in-law went to Zhang Luo for supper. Chen Zhi and several people fought the landlord in the room. The ghost knife can actually play cards, and it plays well, which Chen Zhi didn't expect.
"Orange, you said that the people in the inverted bucket line, if they knew that I went up the mountain in the middle of the night to dig the tomb of the fox fairy, could they laugh at me?" Fat Wei said while playing cards.
"Didn't you say you weren't going to fight? Why do you always mention the past? You are now digging the tomb of the gods, which is much more advanced than digging the tomb of the dead, and it is too late for them to envy it! Chen Zhi said, he thought it was funny.
Chen Zhi lost several times in a row, and was punished by Fat Wei to buy his favorite camel brand cigarettes. Because the hotel was at the foot of the mountain, far from the city, and the nearest convenience store was a twenty-minute walk, Chen Zhi ran out with resentment.
Chen Zhi finished buying cigarettes and walked on a country road where people are rare. It was suddenly raining in the sky, and Chen Zhi ran up in the rain, wanting to hurry back.
"Hmm! Damn, why do you suddenly have a stomachache..."
Chen Zhi held a plastic bag of cigarettes in his hand and squatted down holding his stomach.
"It hurts! No, I can't move a single step."
Chen Zhi's whole body shrank into a ball.
"Damn! People have three urgencies, and no one will see them in this kind of country place anyway, so I will go to the grass over there..."
Chen Zhi looked around and was surprised to find an orange light.
Deep in the dense woods there are bare rocky cliffs, and there is a small cottage at the bottom of the cliffs.
"Is that a villa? Judging by the lights, there must be someone living there. Chen Zhi thought to himself. It's a bit inappropriate to run into someone else's house to borrow a toilet, but it's much better than pulling it in the wild. Chen Zhi walked towards the villa without hesitation.
